Nice. Go turn them gold.

And fitted this under my 17" mb battles with no spacers. That was my personal goal to mount these beneath my 17" rims any way possible. Someone else may be able to even use a different combo of rotor and mounting tabs shaved. But that's my basic outline, I don't want to give out to much else until I actually know what really works on the road and such. So there isn't misinformation spread out. I'll keep you guys updated.

Hey Logue, my cars torn apart anyway, i might as well try, edit, ordered one from autozone for $130 will be here tomorrow. Also, What size rotor is woking best for you? 13" ?? I need the diameter that fit for you and the rotor offset, possibly stock offset also. I appreciate it and ill plug away as soon as i order them. i dont have to worry about rims, i have deep 18's

I'm gonna give this a shot with my sparkly evo9 MR SE wheels.

Are you sure it's a good idea to be sizing up backspacing on a full floating caliper without pistons, pads and hairpins? That seems like touchy business there.

Did you get a price on the pistons, pads, seals and hardware yet?

I bought one mockup caliper and am going to autozone or napa to sort through all of thier 5x114.3, 13" rotors, ima grab a couple, try it, return it, and keep doing it.

i have the same rims, so that would be nice to know if they will fit or not lol

They are fixed calipers. They just need to be centered over the rotor.

I wouldn't grind material from the caliper, if I did this I would get longer arp studs and a spacer that fitted between the hub and rotor.

Or use 2-piece rotors from someone like TCE so you can customize the rotor offset to exactly what is needed.

This brings up a question...with the caliper bolted to knuckle unmodified, what is the offset from caliper centerline to the hub?

Someone on the g8 boards checked out the 6-pot 2009 calipers. Its seems the piston diameters are 34mm 31mm and 26mm. Not really worth the swap then.
