Hi Brian,

Originaly when I was working with SMC on the BABK, we
wanted to do this but the Z calipers (which are 4
piston by the way) were too fat and it was hard to
find rims that would bolt over them without hitting.
Thats why we had to scrap the Brembo project as well
due to the size of the calipers.

Another issue is that new Z calipers cost 3x more than
Willwoods! The final issue is that the AD22F rotors
are too narrow and the pistons on the Z calipers would
stick out too far once the pads wore, making total
failure posible if as seal were to be exposed when the
pads got too thin.
