Message	Why should Stoptech (or other brake company) produce (what could be) an inferior product just because they are limited by wheel clearance? If you want brakes that fit under your stock wheels... stick with whatever you got. If you need the additional heat capacities and stopping power of a big brake kit, upgrade to wheels that can clear a BBK. To make a smaller caliper (to fit stock wheels) would be a design compromise and does not give the freedom of designing the optimum solution.
