mcmlxxxv Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 sure I will! still need to buy some disk and calipers first lol :) Quote Link to comment
denis.drc Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 sure I will! still need to buy some disk and calipers first lol :) Cool. Just remember those brackets are designed around the diameter of a stock S13 rear disc. You may need to trim the brackets if you're going to use a smaller diameter rotor. 1 Quote Link to comment
