Wish I could help, all I know is that they make some amazing brakes. Best of luck. Maybe reverse the left and right brackets? do you have the calipers on the correct sides?

Depends on pricing and what need sto be done to make them fit. I assume the AP brakes are lighter as well.

Nice! I will check out their site. Is it listed there with a price?

Edit: Checked their site and it looks like $3500 for just the front brakes. I already have Brembo BBK up front. Gonna have to pass on this

rear are "only" 2500 though but I think brembo has set for rear as well. prob little more expensive but would look great with your front setup!
