That is true, but Fran already solved the brake issue for us - 6 pots upfront and 4 pots in the rear, Wilwoods, so that should be plenty in a < 2000 lb car. Cooling is tight, but I'm facing that on my 13" on the JH and TR8, it is solvable. One has to be neater and tidier with their cooling cans etc.
It'd all be easier with 17s though, but I have to admit I don't like the look that much and for me personally, don't see any improvement in functionality or performance.
