Evo's will look absolutely amazing on your car! And those calipers are awesome looking too!

Well I think it's pretty obvious based on the stickers haha. I am actually still waiting on the wheels to arrive, I have just been collecting stuff for them. I'll definitely post pics when I get them and refinish them

I actually used the Stoptech brake templates to test a friends set of Rega's in the same spec. The 17x8 + 35's clear Spoon monoblocks with no spacers but the Stoptech's will require a small spacer up front.

Well I knew you were getting the Evos but what sizes!?

Staying with the well known 8+35/9+38?

Yep! That's the best sizing for a stock body car IMO... It will clear the Stoptech's front and rear (9 +38 doesn't clear the front brakes without a 10-15mm spacer and studs) and still allow me to run a decent size tire.

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing it all done. The Evo is easily one of the best setups for this car and those sizes are perfect. Are they going to be white? And I can say I'm not sure I've seen a BBK behind Evos before. I've seen some Spoon caliper setups but I think that's it.

Yeah, I had been looking for a set of CE28's or waiting for the ZE's to come out for a while but after deciding to go with the Trophy kit I decided to pull the trigger on the Evo's. I am leaning towards restoring the Evo's in their original white finish but we'll see... I've never seen a StopTech kit with Evo's either but I think the Red in the calipers should go well with the Evo stickers
