Default 14" Brembos behind 20" Gettins

I finally got a chance to snap a couple pics of my brakes, I have a 14" Brembo kit on the front.. the back brakes will be in next week(13" on the back) and I will take pics once they are installed.. but for now I took pics as is so you can see how much better it looks with the big brake kit up front and stock in the back

Wow.... pictures don't really do this car justice. In person, I'm sure this car looks incredible to say the least. Talk about a beast... good stuff.

The back is the same rotor as the front but only 13", 14 would not fit.. the calipers will just be painted with G2 since there is no rear caliper for the GS that I am aware of.. coming next should be Tein Flex(drop will be same as it is now) and body kit..

They are stock right now but they measured it and said 14" will fit on the front and 13" on the back.. but the wrong rotors were shipped for the rear so they had to re-order them.. the correct(13") ones should be in by the end of this week.. I hope that answers what you were asking

I think I read that wrong the first time.. yes the calipers will be stock, I do not believe that anyone makes a bigger caliper for the rear.. if you know of one then please inform me
