Operation head meet dashboard...just thought I'd share

[jgauspohl]

I will be making a small writeup on fitting these uber nasty 6pot brembos (courtesy of our German oem manufacturers) behind your 18". I will be using a 14" 370z sport spec rotor...and custom machined adapter brackets (for which I should be making a template with dimensions, because I like to share). Enjoy...and these aren't bad on price btw if you can google search and find some audi/vw/porsche guys willing to give you a deal.

[Amays U G37S]

Wow.

[jgauspohl]

Wow.

...at least the weakpoint will be obvious ....tires lmfao....I bout' s*** my pants when I opened the box today...I knew they were big but

[alms24sebring]

dam that a big caliper. Something about big sexy brakes behind the wheel just hits me right

[breadbox]

looking forward to more on this.

[jgauspohl]

So I picked up the 370z sport rotor from Advanced (so I can take it back, getting stoptech slotteds) to mock up the 6 piston setup so I can fab/machine some brackets....and let me just say...GAWWWW!! This is going to be a really tight fit behind my 18's...but I think I'm good. The pad sweep covers all of the rotor though so despite these calipers being for a 350mm rotor and the 370z being 14" (really close to 350mm) they fit PERFECT no joke...Anyway hope you enjoy the pic/s as much as I enjoyed taking them

[breadbox]

lol huge.

[TheBlaiant]

Price?

[wingFeather]

Them thangs is huge! Sure to be good for initiating a slide with ease

[visser003]

That is a nice setup. If it works I will be interested in some plates and a source for the calipers.
Can't wait to see them installed.

[Hijacker]

Dammit. Now I have to mop up drool from my desk!

[TroubleBound]

Very cool, cant wait to see the finished product!

[98blackbell]

Very nice. Good luck and where did you score them from!

[jgauspohl]

Calipers were right at $450...rotors will be $230 for stoptech slotted...lines may or may not work that I have (z32 tt ss lines) and the pads are ceramics that cost me $70 from advanced. These will only fit behind 18" wheels btw with correct offset ...these are +12 offset weapons..18x9. Ya and these are overkill but come on they're sick and I had to well cuz no one else has...at least under $1k. Here are the pics...and they fit perfect. enjoy

[breadbox]

Looks grrrreat!

[Crazyirish]

Hawt. Do want.

[SliviaBum88]

Dammit. Now I have to mop up drool from my desk!

yeah i have to do the same holy **** that looks sooo sexy.

[motoman399]

those are sick! would look good lit up red at a track! good find.

do these come from the VW touteg? (dont know how to spell it, the SUV thing)

[S13AL]

What wheel is that?

[Razi]

What are you going to do for the rear?

[jgauspohl]

For the rear I'm thinkin 370z rear rotor so I can retain my 300zx ebrake setup...coupled with maybe the 4pots off the cayenne...I haven't compared specs yet though like I did for the fronts.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Yeah that's more braking power than you'll ever need, unless you're towing something with your S13. Its probably actually going to hurt you a little bit... adding massive unsprung weight.

[laxands13]

Thats crazy man, those look so nice

[AZ89two4Tsx]

What wheel is that?

Those look to be MB Weapons.

OP, what are you using for rears?

[jgauspohl]

Yeah that's more braking power than you'll ever need, unless you're towing something with your S13. Its probably actually going to hurt you a little bit... adding massive unsprung weight.

First off I know it's more than I need, second it's an s14 lol can u guys not see the avatar lol, and surprisingly enough these calipers don't weigh much, about as much as the iron z32tts did, the rotor is what weighs a ton, but let's be honest u won't be able to tell a difference other than the fact they're goin to look fantastic and be the last brake upgrade I do...and this car is only goin to see track mostly now.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

whoops, sorry... S14.

[1KleenS13]

Yeah that's more braking power than you'll ever need, unless you're towing something with your S13. Its probably actually going to hurt you a little bit... adding massive unsprung weight.

x2. While they may look good, I would worry about them locking up if you stab the brakes to hard.

exactly why you don't stab the brakes too hard lol...plus tires have a big factor in grip I understand I might have to relearn my brakes...my buddy actually suggested putting a wood block behind the pedal to keep from yammin them too hard hahahaha
warning: brakes may cause flatspots in tread

[motoman399]

Lol those are going to be great your gonna love them! Never can have too much break!!!
