The brakes look great, but what's with the off roader look? :confused: What caused it to come up that high?

EM's 13.5 Brembo kit, and the rippie plates for the rear. I have not done the rear yet, as I still need to retain the parking brake for car work, since there isn't a tranny to lock a set of wheels in place.

Reason for the height, no engine, no tranny, no driveline and no gas in the tank.

Doesn't look like it would be fun pushing it in and out of the garage to wash it. :nonod:

Actually it's quite easy. You're missing roughly 1,000 pounds of weight, so it's pretty light to move around. The driveway isn't on a incline.

It keeps me from going insane, now I have to figureout how to heat the garage while I redo the wiring harness for the seats. :crazy:

Nice setup, and good to see it fitting under commonly available 17" wheels. Any change in offset with this setup?

Any link on the web where these parts can be sourced?

Are these the Porsche Twin Turbo Calipers?

You can get them from Exotic Muscle. They are the brakes that came on the Porsche TT (Big reds) but you can get them from Brembo

http://www.exoticmuscle.com


No change in offset, they fit like a glove.

Jeff, you can plumb in a hydraulic lock on the rear brake line. They are available through any of the circle track catalogs. ~$50.
