Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

14" Brakes...Lets discuss this



Maybe its the angle of the pic, but is there going to be room for the caliper? That rotor looks close to the rim.

Looks nice though..pimpin
 
BIG UPDATE and the news IS GOOD!

So I test fitted, it bolts straight up, rotor is the perfect size, only issue is I will have to get washers and space the caliper just like the f-body guys (but thats not big deal, CHECK OUT THE SIZE of the BOLTS, they are super long)

Other downside...Some douche painted these calipers red but $220 I can't complain. I will clean them down and paint them.

I know some pictures look like its contacting the rotor, thats because this **** is heavy and I can't bolt it down fully, but I did bolt it down, saw the front of the caliper hit the rotor but the rear of the clears perfectly, just need 1 or 2 washers and it will space perfectly, everything is the perfect fit so far.

The money shots:

OKAY the bad news, I just remembered....You need low offset wheels. OEM GXP wheels are not gonna clear. I have like 8mm clearance of spoke and caliper on 32mm offset wheels.

Goddamnit. You know Dave I was really considering doing this as well. Then you have to tell me that I need to get new rims too. Ah well, I guess maybe it is a good thing it won't work because now I will save a lot of money lol.

Good job though. I can't wait to see them on the car.
 
Yeah I don't know what the offset is on the GXP wheels, but they might or might not. I'm just judging this by my new wheels being so close as it is, I'd put money that OEM GXP wheels won't work.

I forget the offset for the GXP but I know it's greater than +32. Bio, little help...
