it appears like my cobra/z32 setup isnt gonna clear my wheels so im down to the choice of either using q45/cobras or z32/04s. i know the 12.6+z32s will fit tho. ive seen them with my exact rims. i have all the parts for both including relocation brackets and ss lines. which would u guys use? larger rotors(barely) or quad vs dual piston caliper.


i have brembo cobra rotors and frozen 04 rotors, both blanks

currently hawk hp+ z32 pads and havent bought q45 pads. prob do hp+s if i decide to use them

my rear setup will be brembo blanks with hawk hp+s and ss lines. also removed gaurd(it got bent a while back so i ended up removing it.

im currentyl running the 12.6s with matts brackets with axxis pads and stock calipers.

rims are enkie rp-01s 17-8 with i believe a 38mm offset. blakcbirdvq's old rims.hence why i know 12.6/z32s will fit.

other rims are enkie rsv's 17-7.5 but i havent even picked them up yet so i dont know about theyre fitment. from what i was told by the old owner theyll fit the same setup the rp-01s will.

thanks for ur input everyone

It must be close if matt's kit works and mine don't. Use a spacer? ie.. 5mm?

I'm not sure on the clamping force of a Z32 VS Q45 caliper but I'll "guess" that a 13" rotor would offer more braking force than a 12.6" rotor would. BUT a 4 piston caliper will probably offer more fade resistance than a 2 piston. These are in very general terms though. As fade is also a component of the rotor's thickness. Which I think the Cobra is a tad thicker.
