Rotora BBK's on the SVX

Still R&D on the brackets that hold the caliper. Need to push it further toward the centre by removing 4mm exactly from the surface of contact with the caliper. But this is how it should look like:

Re: Rotora BBK's on the SVX

Those are 330's, the calipers were used for like 100miles in a photoshoot by Rotora themselves.
I got all corners, 6pot fronts 4pot rears with brand new SS lines, pads and discs.
$2000.

But I do not recommend them at all since their after sales service is the worst ever...

Re: Rotora BBK's on the SVX

I have been carrying this kit for like three years now.
Just few weeks ago, I got some time to tinker with it.

For the price, I got it for a steal. At that time Rotora was advertising it with brand new calipers (well mine is almost brand new) for $4500 for all 4 corners.

Now I am worried about the brake booster and master cylinders of the SVX. Will they hold with the enormous figures of power? Need to start considering some options coming probably from heavy SUV's or so. Any idea what did the STi guys do in this perspective?
