VTTR Big Brake Kit Installed

taiyei · 06-18-2007, 11:14 PM

Got my hands on a VTTR big brake kit and was finally able to get it installed a few days ago. These are VTTR's 6 pot two piece rotor kit that is originally made to fit the DC5. I'm not sure if anyone knows, but after some research, I found that the brakes for the DC5 and FG2 are exactly the same. The brackets from the kit fits perfectly with the FG2, direct bolt-on with only a minor modification. Only needing to bend back the heat shield in order for the bracket to fit on to the mounts. The only major problem was getting the Si rims to fit over the brakes, the offset wasn't right which caused some rubbing issues. To solve this, spacers needed to be used. I'm riding on 20mm spacers in order to fit these rims, at least it's not rubbing though. Now I just need a nice set of rims to get rid of those spacers.

Very clean looking car man, I like everything you have done to it so far. Just out of curiosity what are you dropped on?

inyong1988 · 06-19-2007, 12:46 AM

jmillz · 06-19-2007, 12:51 AM

how much did the kit run

taiyei · 06-19-2007, 01:22 AM

Yup they are 6-piston, cost me about $2200 cdn.

I'm not sure if they make a rear kit but I don't really mind the difference between the front and the rear, they stop like a dime though!

inyong1988 · 06-19-2007, 01:23 AM

2200 CDN for just the front 2?

taiyei · 06-19-2007, 01:27 AM

yeah for the front set

inyong1988 · 06-19-2007, 01:27 AM

taiyei · 06-19-2007, 01:39 AM

Haha, no I'm not! that was the cash to get myself a new set of rims and exhuast! I wanted these really bad though, now I gotta save up again

StLVtec · 06-19-2007, 11:14 AM

bluetroll · 06-19-2007, 11:25 AM

sick, get some lightweight wheels and some sticky rubber... nevermind stopping on a dime, it'll be stopping on a needle!

jay3151 · 06-19-2007, 11:34 AM
