includes info about front TT rims. WHat it does not mention is the fact that the brake rotors vent in the proper direction, unlike the 3000GTs. Also the rotors do not have the holes cut out around the hub, which have been known to break on the Mitsubishi rotors.

this all-in-one upgrade kit is designed to be the first kit anyone thinks of when considering an inexpensive but effective upgrade to their stock setup, where budget is a strong consideration and maximum performance is not needed for the track.
It is designed around the idea that one can have larger 12.1" rotors and better stopping power and can still use the stock Z32 rims and calipers with NO additional mods or hardware needed. The kit solves all the problems of other stock-caliper/stock-rim brake upgrades like the 12 3/8" 3000GT kit-- that require large spacers with longer studs, cannot fit a stock TT rear rim in front, and cannot allow for taped-on lead weights for alloy wheel balancing. None of these are issues with the MWS Motorsports kit, and yet, the rotor is still significantly larger than stock; 12.1" versus the stock 11.1". Installation is also the easiest of any brake upgrade: If you can remove your stock calipers for a rotor change, and remove or cut your rotor shields, you can install this kit. Make no mistake, many larger-rotor upgrades that use expensive aftermarket calipers are going to be a superior upgrade to the MWS kit, but for the budget conscious, being informed about what you are in for may be the key to choosing which kit is right for you, and at what point in your upgrade path. All other larger, more expensive brake kits force you to buy larger rims and tires, and possibly experience reduced pedal feel, due to a mis-proportioning of the master cylinder to the new calipers; or, if they fit the stock rim and use stock calipers, you suffer hidden costs not included in the kit, like; 15mm hub spacers and expensive longer wheel studs and the installation cost of those components. Also, any time you use a wheel spacer that thick, you begin to introduce unwanted side-effects like; additional steering effort, as well as bump-steer, and possibly, fender rub-- when lowered.
