What is the clearance on comps compared to team dynamics though? Are comps normally good clearance?

Standard FRS calipers & discs behind 16" Superleggera. I had to machine the top face of the caliper to make it work, and even then there wasn't much clearance.
Those Brembo's are chunky calipers and really need 315-320mm discs behind 16's, or alternatively use an AP caliper which tend to be smaller overall.

Yes I had to make up some alloy brackets.
I think people do sell steel versions on eBay from time to time.

they fit under my comp frs quite easy just need to shave a bit off the top of the calliper. the problem you will face is more to do with the off set of the focus rs disc as they dont have much off set and are very close to the back of the wheel

What size are your comps? Mine have a large offset so should be ok.
