haha, will try this on track one day, gob bless me!

I can understand if u just wanted the Brembo looks with this set up. But if u wer planning to track why not invest on a proper brake set up?
Yeah, should have bought a pair of ap but I got this pair for a good price, also I like the red look. Also might be a good idea to test this set up since no one has done it like this way in Aus yet

The machining has gone right through to the other side. How strong do you think that mount is going to be with a hole right in the middle of it? The metal will fatigue and crack/tear.

you might be the first person to run this setup in aus, and with some luck hopefully the last too. I'm surprised you didn't machine the rims instead to make room for the brakes lol

Then you should have gone with Wilwood. The colour was a big factor for me.

And lived.

I think you'll be right... right up until it fails, and then you'll be dead.

We all appreciate a bit of innovation and trying something new, but this looks seriously dangerous whokid. As others have pointed out, the calipers look significantly compromised after the milling. Was it just the price and appearance you were after? You should have selected a brake and wheel package to suit (usually wheels to match brakes).

Don't do it whokid.
