Default Installation: Project Mu Big Brake Kit (BBK) 355mm

Here is installation of Project Mu's Big Brake Kit. Took awhile to come in but looks like its going to be worth the wait. Rotors are 355mm (about 14")! The calipers are 4 piston and uses one pad per piston. Thats 4 pads per caliper total!

Package contents.


Teflon Brake Lines. Brings new banjo bolts, washers, adapters to connect to OEM hard lines.


Calipers, Pads and brackets


Caliper close up






Two piece 14" rotors




Project Mu quality is excellent. Installation was extremely simple though instructions w/ torque specs would have been nice. We basically followed the OEM specs.

Stock setup


Caliper removed


Rotor removed


Dust shield removed, caliper bracket installed


PMU rotor installed


PMU caliper installed. Taped up caliper in case of scratches from wheel test fitment. Installing pads. They come with PMU B-Force pads btw. Slides right in like cake.


Place retainer on pad and insert bolt to lock in the pads.


Project Kics spacers going in.


Remove old and install new brake lines. We installed the caliper side first then the chassis side. That way brake fluid wont get on to the calipers.


Bleed the system and installation complete.




Project Kics 15mm spacer clears the caliper a little too well. Im getting in 10mm later, so if anyone is interested in 15mm spacer in 2-3 months let me know. Also added Project Kics NeoChrono lug nuts which matches the caliper. Havent slammed the brakes to test how well they work but driving around town, it definitely brakes better and has excellent pedal feel.







Big thanks to Phillip @ Mackin Industries.

Thats the same kit as I got, what wheel specs you running?, cos I was gonna get some 15mm spacers, but if you think that 10mm will do it, i will get 10mm instead.
