[DeTomaso] Is there a direct bolt by Wilwood for a street Pantera ?

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
