What are Brembo's rotor diameters and caliper configuration?

Do you have an F-Sport that already had the 14" front rotors from the factory?

No I don't , but the calipers are the same on the F Sport and the rear also are the same brakes.

Most rotors under 405mm will fit under a 19" wheel. The Gs-Fsport comes with a true 2 piece rotor (6 piston) from factory if I am not mistaken. Quite honestly I think spending money on a BBK for this car is a waste of money. But then again I probably would too for show.

it might work all depends on the offset, if I am not wrong, I tried my 18" and they are 45 offset and it does not clear, so the offset on the wheel is a big thing, and I tried my other 18" with 35 offset no problem , so it might clear, I know the brembo kit at vegas had 22" on it. so wait until e39eng gets it and get more info from there.

I'm confused .. so F-Sport stock calipers are 6 pot front and 4 pot rear and same as your StopTech configuration?

EDIT: Got it ... Stock F-Sport has 14" rotors and 4 pot calipers in front. So the StopTech BBK will also have 14" rotors but a 6-pot caliper up front instead.

Ok cool, I wasn't too sure about the caliper. Still, it's pretty big for a 4 piston. I think someone should try powdercoating the stock calipers, I think they would be very surprised.
