[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 9973449, member: 11681"] The R58 haters are people who are sick of the 95R wheels from an appearance vantage point. They are viewed to be an over used played out design. But they are functional, cheap, strong, and for the money fairly light. A 14" Brembo Gran Turismo 4 piston kit will require about a 1/4" spacer to work with this wheel. The Roush/Alcon 14" kit, even converted to GT500 rotors I'm pretty sure still works without a spacer. 17" CCW classics definitely need a spacer. 14" brakes on an SN95 is almost a necessity on anything fast. The GT500 rotors are extremely robust and very affordable, lots of folks have converted other brands of 14" kits through mild shimming or machining to center the calipers over the GT500 hat offset. From what I have read they are holding up really well on track also. I am probably not going to do this now since learning of the new BOSS being released. Guys building [B][I]fast[/I][/B] SN95 based cars are going to wish they had a robust 14" front brake after about one busy season on the 13s, even if they have the Y2KR Brembo caliper and cooling ducts. They are now fairly affordable. [/QUOTE]
