Big Brake Kit, 6gc GT Options

Sneak peak.. this is the new rotor.. that is a 16" 7th gen rim.


Stock Rotor w/ rim installed
Stock GT Rotor no rim
New rotor no rim

Probably be 2 versions of the brake kit. One would be a 318mm rotor designed for use on 16" or larger rims. The other would be a 323mm rotor which will only fit 17" or larger rims. Both using the same 4 pot caliper. Personally I'll be using 318mm rotor.. The price difference between the two will be pretty small.. The 318mm kit will actually be the more expensive one.. between 30-40 dollars more.
Btw, these are camera phone pictures... I never thought I'd see the day when cam phone pics looked this good...

no, the fluid was just changed and the calipers have about 70k on them. so while they are not brand new, i would imagine they still have some good spunk left in them.

for the most part the car stops well, however there have been a few instances where i have noticed the limitations of this setup. you are right, no one NEEDS a bbk. but once you start making more and more power and add more weight to the car with something like a motor swap, you will start to outgrow those stock calipers/rotors. a lot of it depends on your driving habits too.

someone like itchty, with 330hp at the wheels would probably benefit a lot from a bbk.
