Well I know that they have been installed by a few members here with no problems.

I'm about to to my Brembo Swap (FINALLY!) & have a set of these Project Mu Sports Inner Shoes to install as well.


Go through everything step by step again. Do you have the right part#?

When you've gone through everything again, post your results.

The instructions I had were pretty vague. I switched the pads over with the stocks identically but it seems like fitment is a bit off. I dont have any slid directions and I don't know the part number specifically but I ordered them off that Nismo shop on this site.

No problems with the install here. I used them for a whole season and absolutely loved them.

i noticed that my OEM rotors fit over them jst fine but my 14" wilwood rotors do not have as much depth in the hat as the stocks. i'm tyhinking that may be the problem and i hope that i did not order the wrong hats... the depth in the oem's is around 2 inches while the depth in my wilwood hatts is only 1.45". I noticed when i had my stock handbrake pads on there that they only covered about 1/3 of the available surface area on the wilwood rotors.
