Did the stock 18s fit on the front too? I noticed the photo you have only shows the rear.. and if I had to choose between brakes or wheels right now, it'd be brakes.

Looks very nice man. I think that is one of the best looking upgrade when you have aftermarket wheels.

I didn't have the brembo setup before so I can't answer you question.. maybe others can chime in... I changed everything out included the rotors which required the dust shields to be cut or removed for fitment and the bracket to be installed in the front... here's a link for the kit.. there's a lot of good info there or just PM Coz...

Nope... I threw one of my old stockies up front and there's not enough clearance for the wheel to spin without scraping the caliper.. there's a template in the link above you can download and use if you want to be sure...

I'll have something up later tonight when I get my rear wheels back on... I ended up helping a buddy on his car this weekend rather than mine
