You free on Friday? I gotta give you back your jack anyway. When I do that, might as well fkn do a test fit of my wheels on your car to see how much space I need to clear a set of Akebonos. You down?

Oh damn, I thought that was on Saturday. You know I'm down man. I'll get there a bit early in the afternoon and we'll do a quick test fit, take some pictures if they fit on your car, and get started drinking early.

Those VSXX's are pretty nice too. Which ones are more expensive? T1's or VSXX in burning black? Any ideas?

vsxx for sure.

It's not always about price tho... for ex, if u have BBK then I would get something less meshy (like t1s or te37) so it shows the bling bling pistons but if u have small oem size calipers then vsxx would pop out more and not draw too much attention to the small brake kit. That's just my 2 cents but everyone is different.

Test fit. My A-Disc does not clear a set of Akebonos. Going to need around 10mm of space to clear.

I'm at a +15 all around right now, so it really all depends on what size of spacer I use.

I want to try to use the smallest spacer possible, so my camber can still be somewhat in spec with my ride height but I'm sure it will be.

The rears will clear just fine with the O-Disc. We measured that too, but it is just the fronts that won't. Now I know for sure, after doing an actual test fit.
