the question i have is that, for such a light car.... Are thesy sized for the car or just the biggest brakes that fit in the wheel?

Do they need to be so big, i mean it takes alot of rubber to keep from locking those up everytime you get a little jumpy on the brakes....?

front rims are 8x18, car will have serious power, yes its light but we need to stop on the circuit as late as possable.

Nice Brake, any detailed pictures of the caliper bracket available? BTW the brake disc on the picture should be on the left side ;)

For sure... but not always, from our supplyers we get only left or only right rotors at times. Sure is annoying, but somtimes you just have to deal with it.
You wont notice any performance difference with a "drilled" rotor... a sloted rotor you may.

Very clean looking project, i think those stopers will be fine assuming you have all your ratios worked out well.

there is a diferent, but only when you are realy using the brakes on the limit(getting the disks hot) there sided because it uses the vented part of the disk as a fan to pass air thruogh the disk to keep it cool. If there both left disks the disk that on the right side of the car will fade first!
