What I think, Chad? Couple of things.
First, we now know they sell 100 per year of these kits. loll
Second, I totally understand their decision and it makes sense, sometimes in R&D you hit a wall for which AT THAT TIME no solution is a winner and compromises arise. Add 2 points to Wilwood.
That being said, they SHOULD have at least written that info on their installation sheets. To at least advise the buyers of that problem and why. Even better, to advise before buying, saying the kit is not a perfect fit and blahblahblah. Deduct 10 points to Wilwood.
Third, yes I'd pay an extra $200 to get an application specific caliper, IF I cannot easily remove the pad material myself to prevent any noise. I do not want noise anymore on my brakes of any of my cars, sick of that.
I will mail them about my choice.
