oh wow!!! nice mov'it kit! does it require new spindals? or... just a direct bolt on? also.. have anyone notice that AMG's brakes are the same left and right. they use the same piece of rotor i guess... if you go look at your car... the cross drilled direction is not the same.

Brake Kit

Front: 380mm x 32mm Porsche Motorsport Disc
6-piston monobloc (Brembo makes them for Porsche)

Rear: 322mm x 28 Porsche Disc
4-piston Big Red Porsche (painted yellow)

The kit came with all the nessary hardware. No hub work is required.

Problems; Rear lug bolts are 1/4" too short. There is no need for spacers anymore with my SSR GT3 wheels. Ordered wheel inserts to make the wheel hubcentric.

I'll test the kit 4-21-03 at Summit Point.

I like them, I will need to put them on the track. I have done about ten stops from 100mph, and they feel strong. I need to work out my small problems, and put the car on the track so I can use the brake markers as a referance.

The fronts come yellow from Brembo. Look at the brakes on the new Porsche GT3.
