Default Need help choosing a brembo caliper

Alright so I was going to buy an endless brake kit a few days ago until I looked into Brembo calipers. I then decided it would be sick to get my hands on a set of Nascar brembos or something close. I am stuck because there are a few good options in which I will state here. Basically I want to know what any of you have had experience with. Also which would you go with and if not any of these then do you have a suggestion. I am going to have to fit them under a 16in Mugen mf10, and will have custom rotor hats made and want to try to keep the spacers needed to a minimum.

Xa69404

Xa4c614
Xa4c613

Xa4d303
Xa4d304

Xa3a444
Xa3a443

Xa2e504

Assuming this is going on an EG6 with 240mm rear brakes?

You realise that Xa3a444, Xa3a443 and Xa2e504 are rear calipers, and not suitable for the front of your car, yes?

The Xa69404, Xa4c614, Xa4c613, Xa4d303 and Xa4d304 are all front calipers but with 44/38mm pistons. These is too big for your car, especially if it is going to be used with large rotors. You ideally need to be looking for somewhere around the 36/40mm range.

What is Rcrew using to fit under 15s? I ideally need a caliper around the same specs as what they are using.

Have you seen how wide NASCAR brembos are? The brake pads are incredibly thick.

I believe r crew is using nascar rears and fitting them under 15s so I know it's possible. But your right the front nascar nickels would need like a 40mm spacer. I'm talking something like a 26mm piston. Ones your talking about are like 38/44mm

I have a set of XA69404 and XA69403 for sale, I was going to use these on my S13 project but gave up on the car, so if you want to buy a set LMK.
