Default big brakes??

how many of you have big breaks, or at least aftermarket brakes (ie brembo) with aftermarket calipers.....with your HX rims??

i had to grid the hell out of my EX calipers in order to get on the HX rims, and am assuming that you would have to do the same with aftermarket calipers as well. i personally wouldn't want to grind up my new ****, ya dig??

go go

I don`t think you could fit hx wheels over any true "big brake" kits.

you can't fit stock 15" wheels over big brake setups... so i'm thinkin your chances are pretty low on hx wheels.

if weight is your convern then get light weight wheels yo. If you trying to keep you stock wheels then try to sneek type-r calipers under there. they're bigger than ex calipers so your in for another grind fest.

You can fit the fastbrakes 11" Wilwood kit under *most* 15`s. I have 13" rotors under a 15" rim.

13" under 15".
Nice. The rotors are so big it makes the rim look like a hub cap.
