Yes it does. My front wheels are 16" .These calipers have a low profile off the disc.apart from it won't fit under 16in fronts.
You don't happen to have a "how to" guide lying around somewhere in a deskdrawer?
The components are few and very simple and could be easily copied, only to reproduce the bits I'd have the arse-ache of stripping it all out again.

I don't suppose you know the profile height above the disc do you? I'm toying with the idea of 330mm discs with some 17Z brembo's.

Matt, I think 330 discs with Brembos will likely fit under a 17" wheel. Be advised not all Brembo calipers have the same profile, some are considerably better than others. Josh used Boxter calipers, and I used 911 calipers both of which are really quite compact. With my setup, with 330 discs I had over 1" of clearance between the caliper outer edge and the inner barrel of the front wheel. Wheels vary, mnay have a taper on the inside barrel, so you'd have to buy the calipers and disck and offer it all up to check if it fits, but overall I think it's likely. HTH.
Yeah, I know. Given he has 8mm room on a 16" wheel if he knows the profile outside the disc I can figure out the disc to wheel distance. I can then measure the profile of the 17Z's and work out if I should fit them or ebay them.

I am going to the Elise 16" front, 17" rear and am very interested in a decent brake setup for the track, so I would e very interested if this setup really does fit with a 16" front wheel.

I've done a nice measure and it's 32mm from outer edge of disc to inside of rim with 16" Comp Speedalikes. Originally conversion was done with TDs fitted and above dimension was 36mm. Nev's conversion has been easier as he uses the EP front uprights which have two sets of caliper mounting holes seemingly to aid fittment of a caliper like the Brembo 4 pot. Otherwise an adapter is required.I don't suppose you know the profile height above the disc do you? I'm toying with the idea of 330mm discs with some 17Z brembo's.
