GI: Big brake kits, floating rotors!

[mehrshadvr4]

Also can we get these with drilled rotors?

[anyonebutme]

yes, though I couldn't imagine why.

[mehrshadvr4]

same price?

note, there will be NO warranty for cracking on drilled rotors. Because that's what drilled rotors do.

Thank goodness I don't track my car. I need this more for more stopping power.

So did anyone order the rear kit from the first group buy? I thought the common setup would be 355 front, 330 rear (similar to other BBK's out there). However on XYZ's faq page (XYZ Auto Parts) it says this.

Also where can I download the 355mm caliper profile to make sure they will fit my 18x9 38mm offset r6 rims?

"
In case your rim is for 18 inch, it’s a wrong decision if the rotor size you choose for front brake kit is 355mm, and rear brake kit for 330mm. In our brake design, you are supposed to choose the same rotor size for front and rear brake kit, it’s because we have settle on the ratio for front and rear brake pads.

If you choose bigger rotor size in front brake kit but with smaller rotor size for rear, such as Front: 355mm/Rear: 330mm, consequently, the brake will be out of balance easily, and it will be dangerous if you brake suddenly.

If short, if the rim you have is 18 inch, then you must choose Front and Rear 355mm brake kit, and please don’t really think that smaller rotor size isn’t likely to touch the rim. It’s certainly a wrong decision as it’s easier to interfere with the wheel and more dangerous. Please see drawing 1 and 2."

no, nobody got the rear kit in my GB. In fact I'll probably even limit the next GB even more by saying the only option you'll have is choice of 3 caliper colors. It's enough of a pain to do a GB, then having to keep track of people is worth more than the nothing I get paid to do this.

no, i did not calculate the bias for their rear kits, or the 330 front kit for that matter. It's very possible they sized the pistons in the 355 rear kit to match, but I don't know and I will not go through the trouble of finding out.

I swore I posted a link to the diagram, if I didn't pm me with email and i can send it
