Default So, I put some mad jdm brakes on my car today.

Just thought Id share.

#4 of 4 people with this setup. Its made crazy y0. Had to shave the caliper bracket / pads, but the stopping power is unbelieveable. Shortly, I plan to upgrade to an 11.1" rotor, re-drilled to 4 lug. Heres some pics:





Close clearance - pad hits the rotor hat (thus the grinding becomes neccessary)






This is compared to the GSR CALIPERS, which are still bigger than EX / SI making these CTR / ITR calipers HUGE





BARELY fits under the si wheels

LOL, this setup was "in style", like 4 years ago. there must be hundreds using ITR calipers.

unless he means 4 out of 4 using inferior GSR rotors
