Also the larger rotors add additional unsprung weight to the car and actually hinder performance moreso than the 13" kit. I was happy with the 13'" kit because it:

1. Filled the gap much more so than stock
2. Provided dramatic improvement in braking performance
3. Still allows a 17" rim on the car for tracking, winter tires, drag setup etc...
4. Cheaper than 14" kit

If it is only for looks then this information is not for you. Just an FYI

Do you have more pics of your Stop Tech's on your car that you could post?

Thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated.

I went with the 14" kit up front and 13" for the rear. Red calipers with slotted rotors. Very happy with the way it turned out.

got one question,..I saw some Z's aftermarket BBK rear caliper position is same as front caliper? I mean the stock rear caliper is actually lower than front caliper. Can we adjust the caliper position?

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Depending on the kit they relocate the rear caliper.. the stop tech 12.9" relocates the caliper further down...

rickdogg... can you print out the stop tech 14.1" brake diagram and see if they will fit...

they recomend 2mm clearance from the brake caliper to the wheels... that last pic looks like it is rite there...

you dont put that metal tape over your wheel weights?

have you had them come off at the track yet?

I remember Tony asking me about the offsets etc for you. Hopefully you can get something to work, but unfortunately the Stoptechs are a bit larger than the Rotora units. Feel free to AIM message me or hit me up whenever about them and I can tell you details if you want.

About the weights, no they are fine as is

im not looking for anything in 17" for my brakes... I have a good idea of what your offsets are from your pictures...

Crazy your wheel weights stay on... if I dont tape mine they get soo hot the double sided tape melts and fly off...
