Default Big Break Kits recommendations

Can someone help me find a big brake kit that would fit the 18 inch FR500 wheels or the 18 inchBBS RGR wheels? I really want to improve the brakes but no big brake kit would fit on my stock bullit rims so I'm replacing them with eithr FR500 or BBS. One option I wish not to take is to go with a 20inch wheel.

Thanks and best regards,
Lawrence

these fit under my 18's id imagine they would fit under yours (these are not for your year though) and improved braking a lot
good luck

He has an S197. The brake kits offered are a bit different as far as I know.

Here is a big kit: http://www.americanmuscle.com/brembo...brake-kit.html

It won't fit any FR500 or Bullitt wheels though. It may fit the RGR's but I am not sure.

for a new edge, you would want to look at the cobra swap, as in the picture above and they fit in 17 inch rims, i have them. or maybe the brembo setup which i think you need 18's

Ya, when I got my BBS, they said that they were not large enough for Cobra R brakes but were fine on Cobra/Mach brakes.
