A local shop makes single piece hub and hats for Panteras with the 8 on 7.62 hat pattern. I assume that would eliminate one source of miss-alignment.

Patrick,
I bought a set of these and had nothing but problems. When the rotors
get hot the steering wheel jutters to the point I can not hold it. I
replaced all the associated front end parts including the
rotors and I still have the issue. The more aggressive pad the worse
it gets.
To fix the issue I bought an RX7 twin turbo track car I was so feed up.
Then I bought a set of over-sized stoptech brakes for the RX7 with no
issues. I know your focus is the P-Car but I have has a number of
other friends who have used the wilwoods and had issues like mine.
Jim

A " simple " question ?A
I would like to improve my 72 Euro so far bone stock GTS brake
capacity, without spending 8000 euros for a Brembo kit.
Is there a direct bolt from Wilwood ( or another reliable brand) that
allows you to improve the brake capacity of a street Pantera?A
What I would like is improved A (drilled, vented) rotors and 4 , 6 or
8
pistons calipers that you can directly fit on the car, without ( or
very little basic) machining.
Do you also need in this case, an improved master cylinder or another
component like a booster A ?A
Then , one alternative : keeping the 15 inch wheels ( my preference )
or going to 16 and 17 inch , if not more...A
Part numbers of all components, availability, personal experience,
Ebay, Craigslist, even worn out second hand parts, highly welcome !A
Best to you all !A
