Ok, so I just finished my own version of the Wilwood/11" 2-piece rotor combo for the front. Click on the pics for larger versions. They should be self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, just ask.
Original unmolested front 'ears':
'Ears' rounded and about 2mm shaved off the surface:
'Ears' painted to prevent rust, etc:
Original unmolested Wilwood Dynapro caliper (1.38" pistons; same as what Flyin' Miata and Goodwin Racing use in their kits, but they use the forged billet Dynalites):
Re-drilled Wilwood Dynapro caliper:
Small part filed off the edge of Wilwood Dynapro caliper:
Caliper mounted on car (backside) using one 2mm washer as a spacer. No brackets needed!:
Caliper mounted on car (frontside). 11" DBA 2-piece rotors from Goodwin Racing:
Caliper mounted on car (view of pads):
Caliper view through wheel:
Entire view with mounted wheel:
I don't have any pics of the hose, but I used a 1/8"NPT to -3AN straight fitting off the caliper and then a 90° -3AN fitting on one end of the hose and a M10x1.00 Inverted fitting on the other end, custom made by Bonaco Inc.. The frame end clips in like stock, but there is no fitting in the middle of the hose to clip onto the strut, so you have to be creative with that.
I haven't driven it enough yet to determine whether I need to install an adjustable proportioning valve. Right now, I have Carbotech XP12's in front and XP10's in the rear on Miata 10.9" Sport/big brakes. They seem to have great stopping power, even when cold, but do dust a lot.
Ok, I am off to test them on the track, so I won't be back for the entire day, but those pics should keep you guys busy

My XP8s don't like normal street driving. 
, but they felt good. I was hoping to test them out later in the day since it was supposed to rain. The cold bite is way stronger than the Hawk HPS pads I was running before, but those were on the stock LX brakes. Correct on the LX prop valve.
