Default Rotora vs. StopTech for L-Tuned 18 Wheel?

Does anybody know whether either of these companies products have actually fit on L-Tuned 18 inch rims? 332 or 355 rotors?

If nobody knows, maybe I can find someone in the Philly/NJ area with them on that I can try to put my front wheel on their car?

Thanks.

stoptech, even the 14" setup, will fit under ltuned 18s no problem. neo has it, works perfect.

i have no idea about the rotora though. i am pretty sure the 6 pot won't fit (from my personal experience and information). the 4 pot 13", that's the questionable one. the caliper is smaller i believe

rominl is right. Both StopTech setups will fit the L-Tuned wheels. The only modification you'll have to do for the 355 kit is to move the weights (used for balancing) on the wheel to the rear side. From the factory, the weights are right in the area where the calipers will just slightly rub against the weights. You need to do this only because the rotors are so big that it fills up a lot of the 18" and the caliper will get very close to the wheel.

As for Rotora, the 6-pots will not fit. The 4-pots will fit. It actually requires less clearance space then the StopTechs.

The 355 StopTech setup would look sweet with your 18" setup. It will fill the wheel nicely. If budget is a concern, check out Rotora's BBK. It's about $350 cheaper in price but only offers a 332 setup.. Either way, you can't go wrong! And yes, Rotora's caliper is about 3mm smaller in width.
