Default brembos on a 4x4

Recently started this conversion on my 3 door 4x4 track car, using BMW Brembos, will get to try them out soon, once final brackets are made up. Big thanks to PBS Engineering for all the work they've done so far.

here's a wee pic of them trial fitted.

BTW, are you using cossie 4x4 hubs or XR4x4 hubs? I'm also looking into fitting a set of these calipers, but I'm worried they will touch the wheels due to the low disc offset on the cossie 4x4.

Could you measure how far the calipers stick out relative to the disc surface?

brackets are away to get a slight mod, is only a mock up bracket on it at the moment.

it is bmw e38 callipers. I've got no problems with the calliper hitting the wheel due to the spacers, but will take one off and try the wheel with no spacer and let you know.

it's cosworth 4x4 hubs fitted.

Cheers!

It would be even nicer if you could measure how far the caliper sticks out compared to the discs, as the clearance on my wheels will be different anyway.

What discs are you using? I guess not the Focus RS discs that all the 2wd guys are running...
