*if he didnt read it

 

Brakes off a ae1XX and similar levin GTZ with the superstrut suspension will bolt onto the ae92 hub, as for discs st185 rotors turned down to 260mm and re-drilled to 4x100 will see a worthwhile upgrade as they are twin piston calipers with a much larger pad.

 

 

series 2 ae92 calipers and discs are larger than the series one.. also worthwhile

 

 

If its not too late to say so i have a pair of the superstrut calipers and st185 discs which are brand new I'm looking to sell.

 

 

/my 2cents :P

What wheels do the AE1xx calipers, diameter and offset, fit under ?

For that particular upgrade you need 15" wheels minimum.

[Guest Casey-G]

Yeah with common fwd offset wheels 15" is pretty much a minimum but with epic dished wheels and some spacers, although illegal for road use would fit under 14"s in some cases

Carbon boy, I'll read your pm after work today

Okay I stand corrected :y: they can fit under 14" rims but you need aftermarket with massive dish/offset or spacers, which are illegal for road use so I ignored that option.
