I haven't had any issues with my stock brakes, but I am also looking forward to easier pad swaps. lol

Do you or anyone have a clue if this kit fits over 18's?

Yup, it should for a decent number of wheels. I test fitted the template against my 18x9.5 ET22 Apex SM-10’s and it’s got plenty of room.

Also, to add, I haven't been having on track issues with the stock brakes either, but one of the reasons I decided to go with a front kit is that I've discovered during my pad swaps that my dust boots, dust caps, etc. all around have deteriorated and are cracking apart from the age, mileage and added heat from the track. No leaks yet from the inner seals, but I'm sure I'm not far off approaching 80k miles and 14.5 years.

I was considering rebuilding my calipers, but given I'd be paying for rebuild kits and labor (and likely more frequent rebuilds with track use), I figured I'd rather bite the bullet and just get the front kit and be done with it and make the swaps much easier along with the other benefits of a BBK on track.
