I have seem to have problems with my new wheels fitting a Big Brake kit. I can't really add spacers because my fenders will start cutting my tires. I was wondering if there was anyone in So Cal that had Stoptech or Brembo's on their 210 that could let me test fit my front wheel to make sure it clears the caliper. I'm not really in the mood to spend $3000 and the time to install brakes that will never work on my car.
Thank you

Bro,

I got your messages, sorry for the tardy response...just been quite busy with the family due to the upcoming hoilday. I haven't had the chance to contact Don & Tom, or Tom & John, or is it Tom & Jerry...whatever I'll be back at Andy's shop very soon, we'll meet up in your area.

BTW: Your wheels look PIMP in blk.

Can you do me a favor and measure from the face of the rotor to the very end of the caliper? That way I would see if it will clear my wheels. By the way what brake kit do you have?

I know you never called back, I felt like a battered wife. Let me know about andy's shop when you will be there. Also do you think I could make a double pod work on the pillar?
peace

That would be great! but don't worry about it, if it's to much trouble. I'm wondering how wide the caliper is. from the rotor face.
Thanks again

Thank you for checking that for me. I just did mine and from the front rotor face to the back of my spokes I have 2.25" I'm .5" short. I can't add spacers because then I will start hitting my fenders again. I almost creased my front left frender when I turned into the mall parking lot. This was before I had the front hubs shaved 10mm
Thank you for your help. I wonder if Stoptechs are more narrow than Brembo's
