First time I've seen someone do the RalliArt decals. Nice work! I'm sure there will be followers now!

How do you plan on fitting these to a GTS? God knows I tried this, and I couldn't get it to work.

I am designing custom brackets for this exact application. They're almost done, I say in a week they'll be on the car. Just waiting for my rotors to come in for my final measurements. I plan on releasing them to the public

Once again, thanks for the comments

I really do wish you luck with that. I tried two separate sets of Brembo calipers and neither one fit. The mounting arms are WAY too long. I have seen Evo VIII calipers fitted to the front, but then you have to use X rotors. I have my doubts about this working, but I will stay tuned for progress.

P.S. If they don't fit (which I hope that they do, to be completely honest), I will trade you a set of Corvette calipers and X rotors for the front with custom brackets for those calipers. I need some of that in my life.

Did you use Evolution rotors?


EDIT:

Just stay tuned here, I'll post up a pic when they're mounted. I'll keep everyone posted.

I used Evo X rotors. You can also use Corvette Z06 rotors, but the height may be an issue. They also have to be re-drilled (not a complicated process), and you only gain 5MM of overall diameter (hardly worth it). Either way, I am interested to see progress on this.

Impressive Now you need some Girodisc 2-piece rotors with orange or red hats to match

I just purchased both your bailout rotors and the four rebuild kits, I was the guy that emailed you guys about the Canadian order. Ended up shipping to my US address instead, but
