so how much bigger is the porshe rotor over the tc rotor? id rather have the same size rotor with a upgraded caliber??!! larger rotor mean more rotating mass!!!

 

^^ Wilwood has a kit for 700 bucks that does just that. This kit raises the rotor size from 10-13 (rounded). So this for around the same cost would get you a BBK and not just a caliper upgrade

 

like Hix said this will get you a BBK without the cost of a BBK. Oh and this does not use porsche rotors just the brembo monoblock calipers from the porsche.

Larger rotating mass is the downside to any BBK,

 

here is a picture of the setup with 315 mm rotors behind 16" wheels

And here is a template that can be printed I can send anyone the pdf file if they want. It is a modified stoptech bbk wheel fitment guide.

One set sold! I have 2 sets left that work with the sti rotors and one set that i will sell with bmw e36 m3 rotors for 220 shipped.

 

what is the rotor thickness of the sti rotors?

 

sti rotors are 30mm so with the porsche caliper you either shave the rotor to 28mm or shave the brake pad pins a little. The bmw rotors are already 28mm, I also have a set of sti rotors that are lready 28mm thick.

 

So you have a set of STI rotors? Which year porsche calipers? Also what are people using on the rear, powerslot?

 

sorry for the slow reply, Yes i Have 1 set of oem subaru wrx sti rotors, used but perfect for this conversion.

Years for calipers are either the 1999-2006 porsche 911 carrera 2, or 2001-2008ish boxster S. Front calipers

As far as rear goes if people want to use the power slot rears that works but you dont have to use anything on the rear. though i would suggest rear braided lines, good rotors, and pads.

 

bumb, also those with 08-up xb might be interested, the lexus ls430 calipers and rotors would be a great lower cost upgrade, that with a custom bracket should be bolt on. more info to come.

 

can you build me a hole set up like in the pic above and if so how much would it cost im bout to order a wilwood kit today but i would like to save some money

 

I can do send you a complete set for 800 shipped, that would include calipers, rotors, braided lines, and pads. would you want me to refinish the calipers or would you want to do it yourself?

 

what is the current price of the kit only (bracket). Also once your sets are gone can you make more in the future. I plan on doing this 100% but am dirt broke. Next year is my time frame for full replacement of all brake parts (if taxes treat me good). Let me know thanks!

 

I am selling the brackets for 125 shipped, And if the sets i have end up selling then yes i can always make you another set. I will be around just hit me up whenever you are ready.

 

bump,

still have brackets available for those who asked me to make them, or any one else who wants.

 

What condition will the calipers be in? And what brand of rotors would you use? Does the $800 include painted calipers?

 

If i were to setup someone with a full kit for the 800 i would refinish the calipers to the color of your choosing, as well as brembo logos. Right now i have one set of oem sti rotors they are brembo. The calipers would be usedbut since they would need repainting to change logos from porsche to brembo it worls out just as well, and i know of a set with 40k on them. If you are serious about me doing it for you let me know as i would have to purchase some of the items, needed, but would be able to have them in about a week.
