these are the rears.

For all the nonbelievers.

Seen this car tonight. Looks great, and most of the good stuff is on the inside.

For all the non-believers, you guys are right, the rears aren't even really connected to work properly.

I guess they look cool sitting at a car show though..who needs them to be working to show off, right? :roll:

Right now it's just the front cuz the rears don't have an e-brake on them. That won't be out till around summer. I'll keep you updated. :D

could you just move the stock front brakes to the rear?

Yeah, the Front Wilwood kits are nice. Sometime down the road, I'll get that setup too. My feeling, regardless of how light our cars are, is that you can't ever have enough braking force. Congrats on the purchase and can't wait to see pics!

actually unless you are road racinig or otherwise repeatedly hitting the brakes hard, having 'enough' braking force is easy.

if you can stop on the breaks and the ABS is engaging, you have more than enough braking power.

if you road race you may find that after a while the brakes get less effective (called fade) and this is where big rotors and strong precise calipers become key.

At the texas world speedway road course I wasn't having any brake fade issues with the stock brakes, but there wasn't much need to slow down there, other road courses may differ.

there would be no e brake and then you would have to build a mount for the caliper. so no the front would not fit in the rear. :lol:
