Hey nemesisryder0627, great write up man! 
I wanna ask you something, and forgive me if this is a dumb question but I really have no idea..
Can you use the factory-sized pads on the Brembo kit, or do you gotta go with something bigger too?

These calipers are same as the Brembo A/C/F Family calipers so your pad choices are very good. When you're looking to purchase pads, just say that the pads are for Brembo Lotus and any shop should be able to help you with it.

Thank you for the additional information! So there you have it there are tons of brake pad options!

This is very different than a brembo big brake kit. From my knowledge of this mod you need a 7.5 mm spacer behind your rotor to get it to align properly with the caliper. I believe the 17x8 should clear the caliper no problem since it isn't a concave face and it's being pushed out from the spacer behind the rotor.

Hello,
i have now the VOLK TE37 17x7.5 +40 wheels in front. Is there any brake upgrade i can do without using spacers? i don't want to add rotating weight to the car...
i would buy a brake kit or a BBK, but don't know which one would clear...
Thanks

I was browsing my Tire Rack Wholesale account and noticed this brake kit was still sold but very little info is out about them.
