Wow there's not much room, thanks for posting the photos. I love the radial mounts on the front calipers.

Pad swaps
Rotor swaps
Dust shield removal??? Looks like the front may not be bad, but the rears require hub removal?????
By the way, interesting point on the Mac's tie down straps with the fleece covers. Think the fleece covers will need to go? I assume their main purpose is to protect the wheels. I'm not "as" concerned with the project 6g wheels which will be for track use anyway.
The rotor life should be a nice improvement and the cost of about $200 each is good too. The rear rotors should last a long long time.Black Boss said:Pad swaps should be easy, and I anticipate that rotor life will be increased significantly given the larger diameter and thickness.

Nick you change your ID. Maybe Black GT350 Boss or Black VooDoo Boss?

Trailer tie downs using wheel straps.morjo02 said:Hi Black Boss,
WOW - The Black with Black Stripes color really pops ! looks awesome and I cant wait for my GT350R to be built and delivered. I ordered the same color and stripes with the electronics package. good luck with your R
what fleece covers are you ordering and from who? are they going to fit ? whats the purpose of them?
@cloud9 so I wonder if the aluminum wheels on the 350 have more clearance than the CF wheels on the R?Black Boss said:+1. What else to improve F/R Balance?
Some more photos. The Brakes are HUGE. I really didn't take it in from the Track Tour exhibits, but there's about 3-4mm clearance from the front calipers to the inside of the 19" rim:
And if the calipers look big from the outside, just take a look from the inside:
Even the Rears fill the wheels (especially compared to the S197):
Rear rotors are stamped with minimum thickness of 24.00mm. They're 26.00mm new. Huge improvement in both wear and heat dissipation, my 2 piece rotors on the Boss were 18.8mm new, 17.4mm min....
Still need to measure the Fronts......

I have Aluminum ramps that drop down from the rear trailer door: 60" long with 6" rise. Both the Boss LS splitter and GT350R chin spoiler just clear......Moto said:Nick,
What ramps did you use to load on your trailer? I have the race ramps, TR-6, with 8.5 degree and not sure if they will work with the splitter installed(3 3/4" ground height) or if I have to get the longer TR-8XL.
