Well done, I've wanted yellow BBKs for a while. Nice wheels too

 

[davidf]

Great choice. I rarely see yellow, mostly red. looks great.

 

[Sandro]

What size are they?

 

[Nero Tenebre]

Thanks fellas. What size are the brakes? Dont remember but it's the gran turismo kit. The wheels are 18/18.

Congrats, looks good.

What suspension are you on, the rear looks higher then the front by an inch.

Yup it's a bit taller in the rear, it's the type R suspension. They really firmed up the front of the car in that setup so I've set my car up the same way --I've got the STMPO front chassis bar, fstb with wiper delete, front clamps, and Dali track front swaybar to go along with. Also installed the rear beam and toe links and have the STMPO rstb so the car handles extremely well! The car feels like a new car bc it is rock solid, and much more predictable than a stock targa by a mile. And I've gotta say I think the bbk is lighter than the brakes I had on the car somehow. Must be the aluminum hats.

Edit: Just realized the calipers on the BBK are much lighter and that's where the weight savings are! I knew I could feel a difference in suspension response.

what kind of brake pads do you use on these brembo bbk? and where to buy them?

 

[synth19]

Looks great. Running spacers for caliper clearance?

Brembo brake pads, from brembo!

A 3mm hubcentric and it barely, barely clears

All you need is 2mm clearance to be safe. You can safely go 5mm on spacers.

I think I will have to, I did it before when I had my hp evo's just like you David!

If you are referring to the brake bias, I can adjust it by using a less aggressive pad in the rear or installing a brake proportioning valve easy fix but the kit is close to the balance of the latest nsx's
