they do look amazing...his whole car looks awesome...but is it over kill..?.. I live in the mountains...and with the new wheels, I have noticed some brake fading with the stockers...the more the better... and the 4 pot looks even better.....right?
Dang...that's ok... I just recently got my car back on the road..and upgraded to 20's... I'll get one on order... I want to see what issues you encountered... since the rears will fit... I might just go ahead with a set...worst case scenario I'll have some really cool paper weights...right..?
yea, lol I have some in my watch list. But I was looking on car-parts.com and think if I make a few calls should be able to find a better deal... I bought a set off there from an 08 srt8 last year with d&s rotors and stainless lines for $450.. If I can find a yard with both yrs of r types in question I could probably mix and match until I make something work... not banking on it working... but definitely gonna give it a shot... have you tried the 2010-up camaro brembos on the front..? aree they too big also..?
Don't forget about the parking/emergency brake. The Stoptech design requires two calipers.
If you're talking to me, I got that covered. I will be using a parking brake a guy makes for the older vipers, it is small and discreet, I will paint it black so it is not too visible. It allows for rotors up to 1.375", most calipers I found would fit rotors less than an inch, wilwood has one can only go up to .81".

The Porterfield brake pads impressed Stoptech. They said that they stopped really well for basically a stock pad. They didn't fade even at 850 degrees F. Stock pads started to fade at 750 degress F.

this combined with ss lines , ceramic pads and r1 slotted rotors would be cheap and effective
... I know my rear pads wear the same as the front pads. ...
its a 2004 s type R with blown engine and only 60k miles
yes....I ordered a complete drop out... he said after they dropped it out complete...he would remove the engine and trans and ship... on the rear I only asked for the control arms,struts,spindles,sway bar,end links,calipers,rotors, and lines... I even asked for all the bolts...lol never know what all I might run into
