Can anyone tell me what is required to upgrade the front brakes on a clubsport 1100. I am told I need four pot Wilwood calipers for the front and can swap my two pot fronts to the rear. Anyone know the Wilwood part ype no that will fit the front. Is it just a bolt on bolt off job or do I need to change uprights fittings etc? Thanks.

Thanks Rob, My car is an early (chassis 0045)1100 Clubsport it still has all its origional suspension uprights etc. I now need to find out if any mods are required to fit the 4 pots and swap my fronts to the rear. Are you going to add the caliper part no's to your web site? Many thanks for the info so far. Vic.

Mine is #30 and runs the 4-pots, I've got the old 2 pots still somewhere, I'll offer them up when I get a minute and see if the locating holes are the same

Rob,
Your a Star! Before I spend my cash with Rally Design it would be nice to know if the 4 pot calipers have the same mounting holes. As you have still got your old 2 pot fronts what are you using on the rear? I am told that the origional 2 pot fronts will fit on the rear. Do you know if this is cirrect? Thanks again. Vic.

The front and rear calipers don't have the same mounting. On the front the holes on the upright are 130mm apart. Don't know if the standard 2-pots use a mounting plate or you're gonna have to buy new uprights for the 4-pots.
