AHhh as to the brembos, well I got brembo rotors waiting to go on there and also I couldnt find any PBR Stickers... so I just hoped no one would notice...

That’s interesting that you got 2 different plates with matching #
I'm just giving you a hard time about the calipers haha I’m sure 99% of people wont notice. I'm getting the C6 corvette calipers for my car soon, I wonder what people will say when they see the corvette raised letters on them haha if someone says something I’ll just tell them it’s the new 4 door vette lol

Wait have you done hour HW on this, are you sure that the C6s will fit on there, I think they are totaly different... and with 6 piston caliper you might be overdoing it.. my set up cost me 100$ and its about as good as it gets... when you lay on the brakes you often find yourself disturbed by the annoying kick of the ABS screamin for help so more powerufll caliper then that is highly unneeded IMO, but its up to you...
I think GTO calipers with C5 Brake pads are all you will ever need for the braking system on your car...
But hey keep us updated on that project...

I have turned that site inside out. I found the SAAB spacers but no 50mm.

5mm DR Spacer / Bolt Pattern 5x110
15mm DR Spacer / Bolt Pattern 5x110
20mm DR Spacer / Bolt Pattern 5x110
25mm DRA Spacer / Bolt Pattern 5x110

Am I missing something? Could you clear this up?

PS: Thanks for the offer of pictures but I've already pinched them. Just haven't uploaded them yet. Belated thank yous.

Not the Z06 brakes lol, I've got 13" front rotors and will be using the 2 piston Z51 calipers I’ll need to custom fabricate the brackets. I'm also upgrading the rear breaks to 12" vented rotors. I plan on doing this over the winter so once I’m done I’ll post the pics ect..

elvin it's a 50mm track wider kit that means each spacer is 25mm (roughly 1")

[CateraMV6]

Yep sorry my bad.... its 25mm per side because i wanted a spacer that would bolt up to the hub and this is the smalles side that would do that..

notice the DRA and how the other ones are DR... well the DR only use longer bolts and that is a big no no... the DRA is what you want to be safe...

Saab 9-3 and actually i can get you a link if you want...

My 2001 Sport has 11.26 inch vented rear discs. You can use those. Should be an easy job. The fronts you plan are a different story. Good luck.

I thought that's what it was but needed confirmation. And thanks about the DRA info. Now all I need is the money.

Thank you both.

i think it's just a tip

[CateraMV6]

yep its just an ovel or elipsoid or whatever you want to call it tip, it just happened to be the right size that it huggs the two original tips so I painted those flat black and stuck the new one on top .. in some of the pictures you can still see the other 2 tips inside the one oval one.

Now why would i want to go smaller when i already have 12.1" rotors and matching calipers?
