Brembo teaser...

[98mark8lsc]

So, I've had these 2000 Cobra R Brembo calipers for my 98 LSC for a few months now, but have had so much crap going on lately that I haven't even been able drive the 98, let alone work on it.

I had a little bit of time today, so I took the chance to fit them up on the car, just to make sure they'll work with my wheels.

They JUST barely fit. There's about a 1/16th of an inch of space at the spot closest to the center, and gradually gets a little bigger the farther out you go.

Here's some pics...I know this caliper is on the wrong side (the bleeders should be pointing upward), but it doesn't matter for fitment purposes. Both sides are identical...

wow. they look great! That tight of a clearance would have me pretty nervous though.

Comparing the photos, I think I have a shade more clearance. It's probably closer to 1/8" on mine, which is exactly the brembo clearance on a GT500 setup.

Nice Jay! That's the setup I'd like to be running someday...

Brings back fond memories from my build back in the day... Enjoy the Brembo's, they are totally worth it! :thumbsup:

Some of those look really tight, that would worry me a bit. I've got nearly 1/2" using '98 Cobra wheels.
