Offset FTL!
Seriously tho, the offset is neither E series or B series, unless you pick the option that puts the offset at +28mm, which reads as tho it's another 28mm on E series offset, so that is what, about 34 or 35 offset? 8 inch wide wheels are going to have lots of trouble... Cheers ToranaGuy

mr spares have been doing those kits for a few years now..
but its either au offset or in between.. otherwise add about another $1000 and the race brakes kit is e series offset. the down side not many people are willing or can afford to spend more on a brake upgrade than there car is worth.. |

Pitty that someone can't come up with an affordable way to bolt on BA rotors & calipers on the front of our E series, even just the stock pov pack stuff, that's a good upgrade from stock E series.
Cheers ToranaGuy

insteed of trying to look for a total upgrade you could allways just use dba and get cros drilled rotors and then look up green stuff or red struff brake pads this will give u a nice upgrade and is not good enuf you could allways look to trya nd fit a ba brake booster and custom make brake lines thsi would = a higher pressure = quicker stop

Slotted & drilled rotors are an upgrade, but your still limited to how much heat the brake rotor can dissipate due to it's size. I've got slotted & drilled on one of the Xr8's, and it's a nice improvement over stock brakes, but still I don't feel they are quite as good as my mates stock BF Xr6 brakes. His are only the stock BF brakes, same as a pov pack.
How about bolt on BA rotors that are slotted? That would be a great upgrade. Cheers ToranaGuy

custom spindal uprights would be the way to go..
but the costs would still out weight the ease of just buying the race brakes kit.... |

Cheers ToranaGuy correct.. what uprights do race brakes use? just a modified E series upright? what if we found a lower control arm (from another make/model) to match E series front end to BA upright? whats the problem with the rack position? cheers |

I'm sure 1600 dollars isn't just to justify the custom uprights, most will be happy with second hand calipers over new etc.
