Will the Brembo 12.6 fit under S-Lites?

I've searched around and found this thread listing compatible BBKs and this thread asking about S-Lites, however, I've not found a solid answer, one way or another, if the Brembo 12.6 would fit under the 17" S-Lites. I would appreciate any help ya'll could give.

Cheers!!

I don't think so.

I do not know of any BBK that fits under these wheels. The only possibility I can think of would be my "Caliper Kit" where you retain the stock rotor. The size of my DP6 caliper fit to the stock rotor is nearly the same body overhang. Given that most full on BBK use both larger rotors and larger calipers...it's not going to happen for you.

So, I'm guessing that only the JCW kit would fit then?

Cheers!!

JCW yes. It's a very capable kit with proper brake balance compared to just adding a BBK, especially for the street. Those who do the occasional DE won't be disappointed either.

You could also consider the Caliper kit as mentioned but add your own "late JCW" rotors giving you the larger rotor you may want as well as the muliti piston design of the common BBK. I don't personally sell the larger oem rotor (I believe that is 320mm?) but it is an option.

I have a spare lightly used set of JCW/R56 rotors left over from my car.
