Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

[Mad Hatter]

mmm upgrade my 4 piston brembos to these 6 piston or get some 14 inch Girodiscs…

I found that its one of favorite upgrades to the car. The stock Brembos are pretty good, but if you go over 125mph at the track, the 15" kit really helps out.

If someone else doesn’t take the calipers I could use a spare set. I am close enough do no shipping. I’ll pick them up.

They are yours Eric. I'd rather not ship. Where is good to meet? DM me.

I may have missed this reading the previous 32 pages so I apologize is this is a repeat.
Wondering if anyone knows weather the 6 pot s550 brakes will fit under my 07-09 gt500 wheels. I currently have a 20mm spacer.

More likely then not, they will not fit. Only some aftermarket 18 wheels do fit, APEX for example. SVE drifts are ok. as are the 19" Boss 302 and track pack wheels.

19” track pack wheels require a spacer to clear the spokes.

Awesome thanks. I’m going to run the 4 pots for now until I can same up some money and buy different wheels. Is the issue of them fitting internal barrel size of wheel or is it the spokes coming in contact with the callipers

The barrel

The barrel

Okay thanks. So then I will probably have an easier time finding a 19 inch wheel that will clear the 6 pots then an 18 inch wheel.

I had been looking at 18 inch apexs during the sale more as a day dream then an actual idea and the shipping to Canada is absolutely insane so they may not be an option

If you dont mind 19x9.5 wheels. take a look at the SVE Drifts. Cheap and strong.

I remember Driving to Seattle for car parts and installing them before going home.... That was ages ago.

It would probably be cheaper then shipping them to be honest

When I end up getting different wheels with they hopefully be a 10.5 or 11
