Thanks for comments!

run115,
If your bbk is the exact same thing (slim caliper etc) then 10mm spacer is fine. These 15mm spacers allows me to stick my finger between the rim and caliper. Plus im rubbing like heck now hah. Get the Project Kics, nice quality.

nightcrawler7188,
You will need extended studs if you get regular spacers. If you get the ones like I have (with studs built into the spacer) then its not necessary since the stud length is retained. You just have to make sure the OEM studs can fit on your wheels. See pic below, my OEM studs are sticking out. They will stick out more the smaller the spacer you get. The Volk RE30 has a hole there so it isnt a problem but some wheels dont.

99 LAN EVO5 RS,
My Nikon D80 is in for repair. Ill post full shot pics when i get it back.

Wow! It must get real expensive quick when you have to replace the rotors & pad. But then again, if you can afford those, $$ for rotors & pads shouldn't be an issue.

Price is about $3000. I considered the spoon caliper but its $1500 for just a caliper on a stock rotor.

You can get them in different colors now. I still like the green trademark color though. Whenever I see red, i think Brembo..
