SO yes, you do have a C4 HD kit, you would need a different bracket to run that caliper on your car, but Pauls isnt really a C4 HD kit since it uses two different components out of the three.
I have a 4 piston Wilwood setup from Ebmiller that uses a 12" rotor from a vette, does that mean I too have a C4 HD brake kit? 
I know, I know, semantics...... and you're probably goign to call Bear a name after you read this |
LOL - I'm not going to call Bear a name.
I actually have a Baer (no relation to Bear) 13" track kit on my Camaro - which uses all C4 HD parts with their hub and bracket.
The Wilwood kit uses the C4 HD rotor with an aftermarket caliper (Wilwood FSL) and an aftermarket bracket. Is it a real C4 HD system - no, not really. Is it a system that uses the same exact rotor size and can be swapped to a C4 HD system in about 5 minutes with new calipers and brackets.
So think of it as an upgraded C4 HD system with a 4 piston caliper upgrade if you like. And you can't run 100% C4 HD parts anyway as no OEM caliper bracket (that I'm aware of) makes it all work.
Can we get into what constitutes a TPI induction system next? J/K
