Can you take measurements of the calipers vs stock? I have VERY limited space between my wheel and calipers and would have to put even larger spacers on...

Something to keep in mind. Your small "donut" spare tire will not work when you upgrade to a big brake system. Like the above post, I was sent some templates to insure the clearances before I ordered my kit. You will not be disappointed in those bad boys. The guy that bought the stuff off Ebay sounds like he got a great deal as my system was several thousand too.

We took it out because even if it were in the car it would be impossible to get to it
The GT500 brakes seem like a great deal, I do remember seeing those for quite a bit more too and there are a few differences in the systems. The fronts for the GT500 are 14" 4 Piston system and the AP is a 14.25" 6 Piston system , also the back GT500 is 11.8" with (I think a 2 Piston may be 4) where the AP Racing is a 13" 4 Piston system, I was trying to go as big as possible for the wheels and the AP was more extreme. Still and awesome deal. Problem is even if I had seen them I probably would not have ordered them, I had a bad experience with ebay and really just cannot bring myself to trust it.

They are what the gt500 uses, the gt500 has those infront and the stock ones in the rear. Dont really need bigger breaks in the rear just the front.

Yea, right now they are only hooked to the DVD player in the dash but I am getting a Mac Mini that I will be hooking them to, I am also puting a set of components in the trunk so that when you watch them from outside the base dose not drown out the sound. (its a show thin ;D)
