I want to upgrade my front brakes.

i was leaning towards the brembo "r" kit. Does it clear our 17" 03 wheels?

If I wanted to go to a bigger rotor than the R's size say a 14" but use the
R calipers, are there caliper relocation kits to do this? Who makes them & will they fit inside 18" afs wheels?

thanks in advance

Advice:

Don't try to mix and match, buy components specifically designed to work together. IMHO

The 2K Cobra R Brembo kit includes calipers, rotors, brakelines, and pads. It will clear the stock 17" wheels. It is one of the best kits you can buy for the money (you can find it for under $900). It has excellent stopping power, you won't need anything else (except consumables) unless you are a real hard core O/T racer.

You can buy 14" rotors, but I would also get the calipers to match. Roush does make a bigger kit.

thanks....where are they for $900.00?

Thats a good price for a complete brembo kit.

Thanks for the 2 cents...I posed the question...but
in reality mixing & matching parts on something as
important as brakes is not the safest option.
