I have a knuckle from each car on the bench...going to do some measuring....really the only problem is the offset of the caliper mounting ears because of the thickness of the brembo aluminum housing...bolt spread is the same...holes need to be drilled out a bit...might just need to find a rotor with a different offset.

Been a while for an update...had a race a couple weeks ago at Portland international Raceway...7 hour plus 8 hour...day 1... lasted 3 hours before brakes were shaking so bad that suspension bolts rattled loose...78 cars and we were in the lead at the time we decided to call it a day... changed left axle as it was a bit clunky and new rotors all around for day 2...and then it was tequila time...day 2...5 hours in and new rotors were already so bad that after lower ball joint packed it in we decided it wasn't the CLs weekend...we were 2nd at the time...car has got what it takes...front brakes are our Achilles heel for sure....new brakes on the go for next race in September...13" 350zrotors and rl caliper...if this doesn't help i dont know what to do

had little 2" before....didn't help but didn't hurt...have some 3" ducting in now...hard to route it anywhere effective without it being in a spot that could be torn off easily.
