my bad must have missed that

 

turbo, so you sent them back?? the stock brembo's wouldnt work w/ those massive rotors??

 

they will work just fine.. the bracket was created incorrectly, it didn't line up on the back of the caliper. should be another week or so and depending on what happens with my damaged wheels it might be longer seeing as the stock 18s didn't fit.

stock 19s will fit nicely

 

somebody mentioned earlier how these will make ur brembo's look small....i was skeptical but after the before/after glamour shots you posted...im amazed at HOW small ur brembo's look!! Time to upgrade to a 17 piston ENDLESS BBK...

 

The stock 4-piston calipers still have enough grab with a more agressive pad and these larger rotors to stop the car on a dime. Obviously I will know the exact details of how much more agressive they are, but even the slotting/drilling will help, let alone the head reduction from the larger rotor. The caliper may look small, but my car will still stop faster than most, will be unique, and will fill most of the center of the wheel now

 

can't wait to see and hear about final product.

 

Figure I would bump this to this page as well.. seeing as how most people won't click through each page.

 

Nice! Seeing this makes me want a 14" rotor. That is too big for me so how bout sumpin in between?

 

If you are gauging interest here. I would be extremely interested in something like this if they fit under Nismo 18" wheels. I'm assuming you would have something for the rears also. This would be a great upgrade for a great set of brakes.

holy that looks clean.

 

These did not fit inside the stock 18s. That does not mean that nismo 18s won't fit if they are barrelled for big brakes like some aftermarket wheels are.. I am fairly confident that a 14" set will be made as well, but cannot confirm that for sure.

For the time being I am getting a set of stock size rear brakes with matching slotting and drilling. I haven't driven my car for 2 weeks, can't drive it now and won't be able to drive it until my new wheels get here in 2 weeks or so.. no more downtime!

 

I'd have to second that. I definitely applaud this project, it's been long overdue. Personally though, I'd rather get a rotor around 14" or so. The 15.2" just makes the stock calipers look miniscule...

 

The dickhole dealers will have a hayday with this one while the car is still under warranty! I can't wait to hear about the results on your first drive.

 

I tried to order some 14" rotors while my caliper is at the shop, hopefully everything gets timed correctly and will be there for measurement..

For now, it looks like I am just going to do a stock sized rear with the same slotting/drilling pattern. I think 15" might be overkill, and will probably end up doing a 14" setup in the rear. Still up in the air on this one..
