[Special_K]

those evo 9 kits look sick too but what about the rear brakes?

Will R35 brakes clear my wedssports SA55M 18x10 rims?

That's funny considering they're faster for less money and in mos events that both compete, the evo's are almost always faster if not 1st place. Sure 20-25 years ago skylines were fast but that time has gone.

Thanks, man! You are too kind. We're talking about brakes here not what car is what. Tap yourself on the back for that generous comment.

Evo 9 uses a Brembo front calipers with 2x40mm and 2x46mm pistons. Also the kit I opted for utiliZes 350x32mm brake rotor off Evo 10. Here's the link to their website. http://www.ao-ps.com/brakes.php
Some pics of fitment. . Running Rota Grid 18x9.5 to clear the caliper.

How thick is the caliper mounting bracket? From the picture it looks thin?

This was my rear brake solution:

A steel ring pressed in and bolted for security. Works well no issues. One day when funds permit will get a alloy rear bell made up with the steel ring for weight saving.

Could you expand on the BM cylinder you mentioned in the first part of your thread? Where did you source it? Is it a direct fit to the oem booster?
Thanks!

Where in London are you?

Well the BMC is what is known as BM57 same as what is used in an R34 GTR. Fitment is direct only thing needed to mod is the brake fluid warning light connector, but that is simple to do. Bought it from a tuner who was breaking a R32. You can still buy them new from Nissan.

The BMC will benefit you to benefit further from the R35 Setup.

BTW if anyone wants a set of these brackets they are still available.
