Haven't seen this combo yet: StopTech 328mm BBK on 18" SSR GT-7H rims. The rims are stock from Tire Rack with no spacers--PLENTY of clearance. Apparently the 17" works with BBK's also with no spacers. The caliper paint is custom.

The Amuse Kit uses Alcon calipers and Rotors...not redesigned by Amuse...however, the pads are Amuse Spec.
I'm pretty sure the Amuse kit uses Endless calipers. The calipers are identical, from design, to dimensions, to bolt locations to the Endless caliper. Even the bridge is identical (and most companies uses different bridge designs).
BTW, damn, I hate you guys!...I wish I had money for a BBK! When Sherwin releases the rear kit, I may have to sell my right kidney and left nut (gotta stay balanced, don't wanna be too heavy on one side) to get the full kit.

I am going to be posting information on all the brake kits that I have personally installed and used on my S2000 ... SPOON, Brembo, Wilwood 6 Piston, and now Stoptech:
(1) will discuss quality of brake components
(2) difficulty mounting the kits due to inadequate or incorrect information supplied with the kit
(3) fitment of the kit (having to use multiple shims, noise generated by the kit due to poor fitment, etc.)
(4) Smoothness of braking (pulling to the left or right under hard braking ... street use only)
(5) Safety issues (such as brake fluid leaking from around the caliper pistons)
I will post a link from this thread to my upcoming "user impession series" after I have had a bit more time with the Stoptech BBK.

Sometimes you just need a good fabricator to make what hasn't been made in production.
I call that a BAD fabricator unless you put in an adjustable bias valve, and even then is pretty stupid. Using the front calipers on the rear will hideously bias the braking force to the front, which makes you car have LONGER stopping distances than stock.
