passenger rear

the rear brackets had to be grinded in order to make them fit.

also, all dust shields were cut in order for the rotors to fit!!!!

while your car is officially ****in awesome, I am also insanely jeoulous that you have my dream setup with the gunmetal TE37s and brake kit together.

so now I must say the calipers are clashing with the tail light. sorry thats the best I could come up with.

now take it to the track if you havent so far, you are definitly ready.

john350z,

It was great to meet you and moodie this afternoon. You have quite an impressive vehicle.

Those rotors and calipers are huge. You should post a side view of your car with the stock brakes on this thread so people get an idea of the size difference.

So how do you like the new brakes so far? Can you give us a review of your first impressions?

I'm actually looking forward to bad news regarding my stock pads from the shop on Thursday so I have an excuse to buy the 13" front kit.

How much did the install cost for yours?

Thanks,
-D'oh!

Dude, Rays Engineering wheels are blessed by the gods and removing any stickers would bring 1,000 years of damnation to mankind.

Please, don't remove the stickers. Think of all the innocent people

Wow... those are huge.

Very nice!

Which sellers did you go through for your components? (besides the person you already mentioned).

How does the car handle? Is it bouncey from being lowered? Do you scrape the tires at all that clost to the fenders?

It looks fantastic!!!!!

Default Sweet!!

That is the first time I have seen someone do a brake mod. I love the set up. Huge brakes, the car must stop on a dime, literally. I have a silverstone Z and those gunmetal rims would match my car perfectly.

Maybe I missed it but what sizes did you get those volks in?
What dealer did you go through to get the install and hardware?
What tires did you put on em?
Roughly how much did the tires/wheels cost?
How much did the stoptech's cost, just curious because i am looking at getting somthing similar on my DB enthusiast.

if you guys can answer any of these questions let me know, thanks sorry in advance if some of this info has already been mentioned.

Thanks!
