go to the wilwood site for a template to compare if they fit the WS6 rims.
You can also look towards Precision Brakes Wilwoods, since they're an active sponsor here. They can answer a lot of your questions, and probably configure a kit that will suit your needs.

P.S. I think you would be better served with a 4 piston since it will bring greater clamping force...

I have a 6 piston kit from Precision (with Wilwood calipers) and it works great for my uses. I spent all of last season autocrossing on it and even won a regional championship on those brakes. They did get used hard, but they never gave me any trouble and they just work.

Stopping power is profound compared to the factory front brakes, and for some strange reason my directional changes are MUCH faster and smoother than before, is this due to the unsprung weight savings???

I like the kit, great stopping power. I would prefer the baer 6 piston kit but the wilwood is cheaper and performs well. With any of these kits you can run into trouble with clearance if you ever decide to go with aftermarket wheels.
