STX legal brakes?

I am thinking of getting a 12.2" Wilwood kit for my MCS, and it sounds like it would still be STX legal...I just wanted to double check with someone who has some experience.

The only thing I am concerned about is that the rules state that the calipers have to mount in the stock location, and I think the Wilwood kit comes with re-location brackets. Any ideas?

If the Wilwood kit is illegal, I guess I could run the JCW brake kit?

Thanks!
Jim

There is another option,

The AP Racing brake kit, their caliper has ears that bolt directly to the hub.
The JCW might be the same, not sure

I ran the TCE/Willwood 11.75" kit in STX with no issues. This kit also fits a large variety of 15" wheels. I don't think the 12.2" kit does. The 11.75" kit uses the factory mounting location so it is definitely STX legal, not sure about the 12.2 but I'd guess it is also legal.
