OMG that car is owning my soul! Look at the wheels!!! I would live in that car. Hell, I'd starve for that car! Oh, oh yeah...brakes. I won't be purchasing any 18s...ever. No, no rubberband tires for me, 45 series is as low as I go, and I don't want to add any weight...and I'm certain I could purchase a supercharger for the price of light 18s. Do I really have to get 18s Giampiero? Say it isn't so. And what the Hell kind of wheels are those on that metal deity anyway? Thanks dude.

S2Khuy;for that size rotors yes.
Out new kit with F40 set up will need at least 17.
The wheels on the 360 are Hamann 3 pieces in 19 inches.

I suppose I can guess they are not available for the Stook...right? Or they are, they just cost the price of a small country.

If there is enough interest ( 10 sets ) I can have custom Rotors and hats made to fit stock wheel and stock caliper .
I think that changing caliper and rotor better way to go less weight and better looking . Brake kit will take out 10lbs per wheel!!!!!!

Well, I just need someone to make available these rotors/calipers... we need to start talking price so I can write the check...

All I really want are rotors that won't rust and cross-drilled for vanity

dwb1, have you and giampiero joined forces on the brakes? I know you started a separate thread on what you are doing, but things seem to be blending in this thread. When you post are you talking about your efforts only?

Giampiero,

Thanks for clearing this up; I was getting a little confused. I am very interested in hearing more information.

The big question that I always find hard to get an answer to is - how well will an aftermarket brake kit mimick the stock brake balance?
