I believe it's more 60-20, no?

The XXR 530 18x8.75 offset +35 accommodated the BBK with no issue and plenty of room to spare.

No trying to bash but why stoptech? why not baer or wilwood?

I'd personally prefer Stoptech to Wilwood.

I don't know enough about Baer to make that call.

Yeah, I think that sound more correct, I read the wear in process they have a couple of times, but I couldn't remember correctly. Thanks.

You want to get the pads hot, but if you come to a dead stop, you'll melt/fuse the pad material to the face of the rotor.

Ahhh. Thanks. I'm still learning all of this stuff and trying to teach it to myself, so again, thanks for that.

Don't they make a lower price rear match for the 328mmm fronts (like 300mm)?


....

Maybe it go with a six piston front that they are developing or to compliment another company larger big brakes. Personally I was thinking about getting sti rear to compliment mine.

I haven't really been able to them on track, for city driving they have a nice pedal feel, but I think that the stainless steel lines.

I did it behind my friend's company to bed them in, the straight was pretty significant. I saw a bunch of smoke during the process.

I had to do two set of run, but I forgot the speeds.

I like stop tech, because Toyota said okay to be their aftermarket supplier. Some engineers aid okay for them as their official supplier and that good enough for me. Baer look nice but I haven't seen enough to go them. I like Wilwood brakes, but the option was not available at the time.

I was told that manufacture leaves a film on it and that what you are trying to remove, and there might be another reason, but I am not sure. I know that one of their main emphasis.

When we go to that price point I would rather go with brembo
