it should fit under the 16's but not the offset... the spokes would hit the outside of the caliper

been doing some thinking... if you do want the right brake distribution... the rears can be made to work. If the rear brembos do no bolt up, the dust sheild is their mounting point. pick up a set with the dust sheilds and make the dust sheilds fit our hubs... if they do not already(I think they do considering the STi uses the same hub bearings) So Like I said, once I can afford to pick them up, I will be able to confirm all of this with hard evidence

what doyou guys think fo these?? I am not going to be able to find Brembos for under 1k so I might as well jump for these... I was gonna splurge the extra $110 for the aluminum calipers... I already have good SS lines...

the 4 pot rears would be nice too but I don't have the bank rolls for that just yet... Unless someone decides to put a deposit on the Pearly... or maybe buy it

Thats the best value for a BBK ive seen yet. The fronts seem like a good deal by themselves but at almost 2300 for the fronts and rears and I was kinda disappointed to see such a small rear rotor in comparison to the front.

Also did i read that right....you have to pay more for aluminum calipers?

yes, its a 110 more for aluminum calipers. I prob won't bother with the rears until I am having a probelm with a heavy front bias

Talk to Todd. He can do whatever you want as far as a kit and will probably give you a better price than you would be able to find elsewhere.

www.tceperformanceproducts.com

(I really don't work for him, he's just a stand up guy and I'd like to see the option/the ability to have options for SVXes.)

Re: Brembos... Finally doing the test

Ok - whatever happened with this?

Sti front brembo calipers fit. What about the 05+ STi rotors? My concern would be the hat offset. I haven't had a chance to get the car in the air to check that part.

As for the rears - any update on that?
