Im talking front to rear. The rotor size has more to do with brake bias than the caliper itself, Hence I was concerned I would move it too much with any more than the 355's. I have dealt with stoptech for over 6 years and them always seem to over engineer everything and the testing they do prior to releasing a kit is great. I think this will be a great match to make use of all the extra rubber I have without causing the car to nose dive when I brake.

Got the brake kit on today...Saved 12.8 more lbs, 4 of on each rotor alone!! Last brake upgrade will be some rear 2 piece rotors and a set of pads all around, maybe carbotechs but Idk yet.
355mm=teh sex

Also, some long awaited "clean pics" with all the new goodies...Hmmm, should I get a kit or what?

So it's just a front kit? About how much did it run you to get the caliper in that color?

Gimmick · 10-19-2006, 04:15 PM

extra 200..The money wasn't a issue, the 3 extra months. thats another story LOL

I guess its not as easy to match the gold as you would think. Their painter had to redo them at least 1 time that I know...If I could do it again I would go black just to try and keep with the sleeper theme.

Thanks.

Not sure about the lip, Im thinking ING's right now. Ill need the side vents for the AWIC heat exchanger and oil cooler (1 on each side)

sjs0433 · 10-19-2006, 04:52 PM

absolutley love the car. you just need to get some 04/05 taillights and it would be perfect. anyone else agree? 04/05 tails ftw!!!

Swine · 10-19-2006, 05:16 PM

No kit! Get a lip and some 05 tails with darkened clear slits and be done.

Nice BBK, but uuuuhhh, why? I mean, nice pads, and all "supporting" brake mods, our cars stop almost on a dime.
