Or you can do the Gold Coast Automotive kit... unbelievable difference just with 323mm Centric rotors and OEM calipers

Aware of this kit, however the concenus is that it only fits on 17"s at the moment and also requires drilling rotors.

I thought some 16s would also fit? The drilling is only if you don’t buy the rotors from Gold Coast. I’m honestly shocked at how well the car stops and how strong the brakes are now. Car stops better, with more immediacy, and with less front end dive.

I will say though that those Whoosh brackets are very nice and light looking. I wonder how big the fronts on this kit is?

To clarify, I have both front and back BBK from Gold Coast. The calipers don’t full every bit of the bigger rotors though so I recommend some high temp caliper paint on the first half to inch of the rotors so that you don’t get a strip of rust over the the inner diameter of the rotor.

I've only heard silence on this as well- maybe he's holding out for a big reveal?
