I appreciate hearing about real experiences with the brakes

How does the TCE package fit under the stock E0/E1 rims?

I'm not up on the lingo, but the front kit in 12.2 size will fit the stock SVT wheel WITH the use of about .275 of spacer and proper wheel studs. This is using the NDL caliper also. Sorry, blame it on the design of four piston calipers, we simply cannot packag it any 'deeper' in the wheel well.
The rear kit I did was a simple bolt on with 12" rotors and NDL calipers with smaller pistons for overall balance correction. Pared with a 13" front kit, I'd say that it'll get the job done. Cost was/is reasonable. BUT there is no provision for a parking brake. Period.

Exactly what I shipped them, but Wilwood does not like the idea of a caliper being placed at high pressures for sustained times. O ring distortion and bridge pressure is the main issue. While hard braking may tax these for a short time, extended pressure is not recommended.

The E0 wheel is the rounded spoke wheel with the large center cap, the E1 is the narrow spoke wheel with a small center cap and exposed lug nuts. TB

I'm willing to bet it doesn't clear either.
Baer's 12" kit fits fine inside the diameter of both SVT wheels, but the caliper hits the spokes where they get close to the wheel's rim.
Both E0 and E1 wheels have the same clearance problem on the Baer kit.. I did try. If the Wilwoods require a little spacing, it's going to be the same regardless of which SVT wheel you have.
