That is intereseting to note - our spec'd rotor is slightly bigger than 11" diameter so Wilwood has no excuse for this error: their caliper should have been made to clear the 11-7/8" 1LE rotor.

The GM dual 9" is a damn good unit - my guess is MP simply copied the internals which is of course a good thing!
