I'm not Slamming the car. I never cared for Wheels over 19", I understand what your saying with suspension tuning and I will work on that with time. It takes time to perfect that which is why I'm picking my spring rate. And also the bigger you go with wheels the more weight, its the worst thing you can do to these tranny's.

If you can get this to work I'll be obligated to do it on my car.

ahh, well I see that guy finally got off his ass and posted more pics..

Still seems like a pain.


I'll have to look at my notes and re-fresh my brain about this. I did my own google hunt a lolng time ago but it seems it not as easy for use as the F-body guys.

I love the look of the brakes filling up the wheels too, but I never got GXP front cuz I want to run my slicks and to be honest with F-body front and GXP rear my GTPs stops pretty damn good.

AH I was waiting for you to find this.

yeah that guys pictures aren't very good though.


Anyways, an update as to where I stand

I have located some calipers for cheap (I'd rather not say price cause I would like to snag these for myself...sorry guys)

We have located a better, cheaper rotor and got the specs for it. They are off a 370z with Brembo's. 14" rotors and they are 3mm off in the offset area. As well as the hub bore being 68mm, we need it to be 70.3mm...a little machine work can do wonders.

So...all that said this looks like a go and in theory everything should work perfectly. IN THEORY

I've been told stock 16's can clear rear GXP's...

yeah GXP rears will clear 16's.

The "general" rule of thumb is take the rotor size and add 4" and thats the wheel size you need. its applicable in most cases

There is always the mustang option...2mm off on the offset

If you get this done I want a video of a 100mph to 0mph brake stomp damn it.

So I got some parts in.

On a Hub...fits PERFECTLY


Comparison to a rear rotor


Clearance looks real good



behind a wheel

that looks ****ing awesome. i applaud you, sir.

Dude, that is gonna look sick with some Brembos man. What rotors did you go with?

In for close up of the veins and the machining of the pad surface.....

Whenever I get around to it sure... Its a typical rotor, nothing high performance or special I guess...but the price was right.
