will the 328mm (13in) kit fit into my 17" TSX wheels???

or i need 18" to clear??

anyone has GT kits?

thanks

I am pretty sure you will need a 18 inch wheel to clear it.

car_lost

yup, you need 18" wheels to clear it. the smaller one should clear wtih a 5mm spacer.

fsttyms1

yup

elah

we could put brembos on our type s wheels? w/ spacers?

car_lost

yes.

samkws

oh...damn

what is a spacers btw?

samkws

the brake kit will not fit on this wheel??

fsttyms1

there are 2 kits. one is larger than the other one. 1 of them requires a 5mm spacer between the wheel and the rotor for clearance, the other requires a larger wheel. some 17's wont clear the smaller of the 2 also.

car_lost

a spacer pushes the wheel out therefore giving more clearance for the larger size of the calipers. if you were to get it with the tsx wheels, you would need like a 5mm spacer. you will be fine and not rub though since the tsx wheels are +55 offset and the 5mm spacer will make it a +50 offset which is still a perfect fit.

samkws

is there a lot of job to be done if i do a 5mm spacer?

will fit the 13in kit? that's the larger one...

car_lost

huh?

for the 13" kit you need 18" wheels.

samkws

OH...=(

not even my silver star TSX wheels? they should clear more than the stock TL-S rims

car_lost

ok read carefully:

for the regular brembo bbk (the smaller one) you can use 17" wheels but you will need a spacer... most likely 5mm spacers. the spacers will push the wheel out to give more clearance for the bigger calipers.

for the larger brembo bbk you will need a minimum of 18" wheels.

samkws

damn, too bad i don't have 18"

i will just put those money on the body kit then

car_lost

ok but you can get the smaller bbk. theres not much difference between them.

elah

car lost, what do u think about Rotora bbk, would it fit?

samkws

i saw a set of GT kit selling for cheap, that's y i am considering

i won't buy bbk at orginal, 2500 dollasr!!!


now i will just get some rotoras instead, a set of 4

fsttyms1

get the rotora big brake kit. it sells for alot less than the brembo kit. contact sc354 (jeff) for more info and pricing on those

samkws

thanks man

I bought the Rotora BBK and am hoping they will fit under my 17" rims off a 3rd Gen. Eclipse. Since they're just crappy Mitsu. factory rims, I won't be heartbroken of they don't fit, but I can't even test them since I can't get the f**king stock rotors off the car to test the fit. I hammered the little screws with an impact wrench until I destroyed one of the bits and got nowhere... I'll try PB Blaster to loosen them up, but I'd really like to know if I need to go rim shopping in order to fit these brakes....

if all else fails drill the head of the screw off. most all of my hondas that was necessary. it wont hurt any thing
