id love brembos but not willing to spend the $ on them for just cruising around town. if I pc the calipers it will be strictly to make them look better. Thinking maybe gold, chrome or anodized red. I did translucent blue over terminal chrome on my TBSS

Take a look at the google image search, the stock calipers never look right.

No spacer was used to clear brembos. The disc size is unknown but guessing the mid disc front and lip-friendly disc rear. I don't think they'll clear anything larger than the OEM Brembo up front, it was very tight but it cleared.

Any actual BBK rear will also not likely clear, but all I've got to measure against are AP Racing calipers and they're frigging obnoxiously large.

Thanks brother! Hopefully he does, if not I've got another guy that may be interested as well, just adds the hassle of shipping but it's all good. New wheels are on the car now so I'll be glad to not be tripping over these in the garage.

Sometimes the disc size is stamped on the inside of the spokes of work wheels, (O,A,R,T)although I'm not sure if its on all of them/ my vs-ss do.
