Yes Jae was one of those priorities. Glad that you got in good order. I also had to ship out the Eisenmann exhaust that I sold and that required some good packaging for the shipping journey. Now that this is done I will get some pictures up of the modified calipers for the next phase of this DIY BBK upgrade.

Man that's one huge upgrade. I think my little 3.0 would lose acceleration trying to spin these things up hahahhaha.
There's a set of 2010-2013 sport calipers on eBay for $799 right now. And one set of your red ones for $4700 |

Can you say MASSIVE stopping power?
Or how about EXTREME stopping power? Brake Porn for sure! Mike

Sploosh
That's so awesome! Is all you had to do was enlarge the caliper bolt holes and machine up a threaded insert for them?

I will do a complete write up on the caliper upgrade once I install them on the vehicle to complete the process. |

Assuming OE brakes are balanced, and when you slam on them ABS kicks in, bigger brakes won't be worth the cost unless tires are included that do not skid as easily. Very similar to increasing HP/TQ and then burning the tires off instead of getting traction.
I changed to slotted/drilled rotors, stainless front lines, higher boiling point fluid and left it at that even though that is mostly feel good stuff. I'm not going to bigger tires (staggered 87s) and already have sticky tires. Needs to pass the value equation of cost verses benefit, doesn't in my circumstances.
