I sell these big brake kits and I can arrange for a 3 kit special if there is interest.
We were prob one of the first to put it on a MSP on Pirana's MSP.

What kind of price would these kits be going for?

Are you still trying to sell the MSP to get an NSX? It seems like it has been a while, no one is interested in the car?

List price unless there are a few buyers. Most you will get is $100 off list price depending on the # of buyers.

I'm picking up an IS350 for DD action, and an NSX for racecar action... no one seems to my car so i'll either keep it and bring it back to life or trade it in on the IS350. I'm not selling the car at a loss, and since no one has any money, most likely i'll be trading it in.

Once again, KICKASS Setup! I would really love to know how the pedal feel was compared to stock and if they had a good initial bite? Linear feel? Any additional info would be great! (first)

its a shame they dont make matching setup for the rear, looks a bit off with the big ass brakes in the front and smaller ones in the back

I agree. I would buy the kit if it came with matching rears. The fronts look so good and I'm sure it performs well too.

santa bring me rotora for my msp (lol)

I know these brakes fit with my Volk rims but do they fit with the stock Racingharts? I run the racingharts in the winter so this is important....anyone?

its my understanding that they don't really make kits for the rears on our cars not only because of the general lack of need from a performance standpoint (obviously the front brakes are more important for overall stopping power), but also because our cars actually clamp the caliper when using the parking brake, instead of doing what most cars do with the separate small drum setup dedicated to the parking brake.

I could be wrong but thats my understanding of it.

They should fit, the Rotora site says you need a minimum of a 17" wheel. I do not know for certain though.

If anything, the stock rh's are +55 offset, and i'm assuming your volks are running +48, so there should be MORE clearance if anything.

Very nice looking kit. I wished I had gotten the ES. I want to upgrade the brakes SOOOO bad.

Makes sense for sure but my conserns still are the design of the racingharts...the spokes go more in. I remember this member putting on the wilwood kit and the clearance is very close. I'm still worried, maybe the Rotora calipers are chunkier??

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Looks great man. I wanna do that and swap my stock fronts tothe rear. I'll get some brackets made...

[QU13 Cross Drilled & Slotted Vented 2 Piece Rotors, Cast Aluminum 4 Piston 2 Piece Calipers (Metallic Blue), Black Anodized Caliper Mounting Brackets, H2 Ceramic Competition Pads and Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Basically everything that you need except the fluid. The installation was not very difficult at all.[/FONT][/FONT]

After buying this kit I got a case of the "might as well's", so I also added Centric rotors, Akebono Pro ACT pads, Russell lines & speed bleeders in the back. I also installed the Corksport stainless clutch line too. That way I had all new lines, and I could bleed the entire system all at the same time.

I just had the car out today briefly to bed in the brakes and they felt very responsive. I did about 8 or so 60-10 stops and didn't really notice any fading at all. I'll have to wait until Spring to really do some spirited driving, but overall I am pleased with the setup.

Nice looking car dude! I really like the clean look. Hope your happy with it.

the 17 rims clearence is just the height. You really need to check the spoke design. That's really important. I have installed the CorkSport/Wilwood Big brake and it didn't clear the spokes of the rims. i had to buy a 1/4inc spacer and larger wheel screw(don't know the correct name of them in english) for them to fit

Ya..that's what I figured, thanks for the info!

so they won't fit the stock 16" rims? i was thinking of upgrading... i have 17"s for summer but i use the stock 16"s for winter. what about the bbk from protege garage? anyone tried those?
