Message I got a set of these Calipers and rotors from my father's Supersnake.. since they upgrade the brakes to 6piston Baer.. he had these just collecting dust in the basement.. (less than 2k miles on them!)

I will be getting some Stoptech 2 piece aluminum hat rotors for these as well.. will be getting the cadmium option as well.

I will have to mill a hubcentric ring for the center of the rotor though.. the GT500 is about 10mm larger.. which shouldn't be a problem.

Brackets were fairly simple.. I still need to make one for the other side and finalize this side.. I will most likely be using steel instead of aluminum.

btw.. 14" rotors are MASSIVE compared to stock!

And I gotta make some custom lines.. but I got a tip from a buddy that should make that much easier :)


I will be powdercoating or painting the calipers RED.. and either using white, silver or black as the "brembo" logo.. haven't made up my mind yet..

I always want to PUBLICLY THANK... Kevin Neely (ThreepointO) .. He sold me a set of iForged "aero" wheels 18x10 and 18x9.. He is an awesome upstanding guy.. Didn't even make me pay for the wheels until I received them. It is nice to know there are good people like this still out there.. He believes in the "Pay it forward" life style.. which I will now push as well. I am glad I could build a new friendship with such a great guy. Thank you Kevin!


Evolution of different wheels i've had on this Z so far.. I actually was unsure about the gloss black on the blue car.. I was going to disassemble the wheels and paint the centers a gunmetal color but after installing.. I really ended up liking it..

Yes.. coilovers are on my "to-do" list.. need to save up some funds.. then it'll be exhaust.. and TT swap..

Snapped a pic of my iForged "classic" that are for my widebody Z.. someday it'll all be done :(
