yeah bro, it does exist.. i found some fake calipers (only a cover - with brembo or so) and it does nothing just attach the cover to the calipers.. hahaha..

but i really want to get the real things for my ride, but can't afford it for now.. like kitbkk one, i really LOVE it

If the brake bias is upset, you could easilly fish tail if the rear lock up before the front...

update...
too much headache indeed...

my car has been at at the workshop for about 5 weeks now. this is becoz they were busy with moving from the old workshop to the new one plus some material was needed to be ordered in and stuff. rotor hubs are needed to be custom made coz the ones that came with the kit made the rotors touching the rims. new brackets need to be custom made aswell. so if u guys are thinking of upgrading to big brake kit, those kit that are designed/made for the specific model is highly reccomended not something universal like mine. well, here are some pics that I took yesterday. almost done, calipers and everything is fitted. except there is creeking noise when i turn the steering wheel. I think its the tension problem or something but they still havent found wat made the noise.

pics; sorry about the quality of the pics, they are taken from my fone

from the last pic, you can see that the calipers are not designed for rotors this big....it can still be used but i will have to get the pads machined after they ware out unevenly.

wow those look huuuuge! I am no expert but surely such a huge change has the potential to confuse the ABS system in an emergency.

I would think that with brakes that big you won't be needing ABS any time soon

****
the disc are way too big man
universal kit is fine but the disc seems doesnt match the caliper very well

I don't like the look of that!Your rotors are going to wear uneven!

**Drew** · 15-04-2007 08:32 AM

Yeah you really need bigger calipers

**kitbkk** · 15-04-2007 10:53 AM
