Well, I decided to get rid of my Mazda calipers and Wilwood rotors/hats and go back to factory parts for the brakes.....the only variation from stock will be the billet hubs so that I can run 911 vented rotors and calipers (bolt on) and that I'm going to add 911 vented rotors in the back along with Eric Sheas V-caliper kit. (all bolt on as well)

Selling the other stuff for a few reasons:

.....getting conflicting stories on whether or not my car will pass the mandatory* brake and light inspection with totally obvious non-stock brakes..

with the current 12" rotors, I can only run my 17" rims, which means if I get a flat in the front I'm swapping for a 17" tire in the rear and putting spare in the back..(no big deal in the grand scheme of things).....

if I ever want to run a dedicated set of rims and tires, it would be cost prohibitive to have to buy special 16" or 17" rims along with the tires...at least with 15" rims I have a decent choice of economical rims to choose from.


*salvage title

I'm trying to talk Felix into running big brakes on his neo9146 and the hats and rotors would fit fine for his application....I'm recommened a new Wilwood caliper for him...hopefully he bites and take me up on the offer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)
