I agree. Makes the brakes look even larger when they are that close. My sevas are ~2mm from my front brakes. The Volks have more room because they are made to fit BBK's.

Thanks guys. They are def more noticeable with the OEMs since the rims sit right on top of them.

No problem Infinitieecho. Just remember to put some masking tape on those BBKs before putting the rims on. You wouldnt want to scratch them up

I still have the iforged Grant Just didnt want to rip up the tires so I'm commuting on these till I get my front camber.

This is what they look like with rims made for BBK

Maybe it's the Iforged but the BBK just looks more aggressive with a nice set of aftermarket rims.

I am having the dealership do it, so I will take them out and tape them up and put a note in the box as well as tell the service manager. We'll see if all three steps means that they won't scratch my calipers. They have been great so far at the dealership, so I am not worried about it.

They do look a lot better under those afermarket wheels, but I do not want to spend the money for wheels right now. Besides, I like the ones that are on there and snce I am driving in the city now more and more, I don't wan to run the risk of bending a nice set of wheels.

How do you like those cross drilled rotors? I went with the slotted. I like the look better, and from everything that I have read, cross drilled didn't seem like it was worth the extra price jump. Besides, I don't drive a Porsche, I think that is where cross drilled rotors look the best.

Thanks again to all those who responded.

I'm very happy with them..even if I don't drive a Porsche

I had slotted Stoptech rotors before these. This set out performs my previous set up but that is because everything got upgraded....SS lines, larger rotors, more pistons.

They would look great under those C4s

I think I have some stickers you put on your OEMs

I got the kit installed on Friday. wow, makes a world of difference. I had to go with a 5mm spacer else they would hit. The pedal is much stiffer now and braking feels improved. I'll have to see if I can snap a few pictures tomrorow.

Where did you guys pick up your Stoptech BBK? I've been eyeing the Racing Brake kits as they seem to be better priced for my budget...

Finally snapped some pictures:




Talk about it being close. I had to add 5mm spacers for the rims to clear. Brake pedal feel is amazing.

Anybody know if the 332 Stoptechs fit under the OEM 19s without a spacer? BTW, I found a 3mm spacer for my PRIVAT wheels.
