yea, for those of you planning to do this, i highly suggest making lots of measurements and studying specs before you buy. you guys have all seen my gf's car on here before. she has front and rear gold Endless. but she had to order new rims because her first set of Work T1S 19x10 was low disk in the back and so it didn't clear. when she got her new SC1's, she went 19x11 in the rear with a high disk setup and lower offset just to clear the caliper. she now only has barely 3 in. of lip and the spokes clear the caliper by less than 2mm. so be careful of that. you won't be able to run rear BBK with a mad lip in the back... at least not with Endless.




also, be aware that Endless kits (depending on the color you order) may or may not match front and rear. tOe's red ones look like it matches. but as you can see here her front and rear rotors don't match since the front is anodized aluminum and the rear is steel. the calipers, however, do match. needless to say she was VERY disappointed after spending the additional $3,500 for the rear alone to find out it wasn't the same as the front. just don't wanna see you guys spend $ and not be happy with the end product.

....And by the way, speaking of endless.

For the price endless charges for the BBK setups, I think it's highway robbery--that they only offer the rear hubs, in metal or for an additional 1400 bucks you can upgrade to an Aluminum bell hat.

Utterly ridiculous, outrages, insulting, to say the least!!!

Did someone say SLAMMED? maahahah

BY THE WAY!!! --- I raised my can an inch and a half, in the back, because I got stuck on a few speed bumps

Oh and I sold my Endless to my buddy iLLMikey / Illmatic

More pictures to come in my TimeAttack Thread!



VS....





I am currently Running StopTech (Exceptional BBK), and passed on brembo's although i love Brembo also and might run that on another car some day...
