And as I mentioned previously, the change to 5×114 had a domino effect that resulted in my revising everything in the brake system. The new front setup borrows the 309x32mm rotors from StopTech’s NC BBK, and uses the StopTech C43 caliper in nickel finish with SS noses and piston sizes chosen for this car’s brake setup and targets. But the critical caliper bracket to fit these parts to an NA/NB doesn’t exist, and that’s precisely why I invested in a vertical mill this year.

Final brackets finished, anodized, and studs installed:
Full package for one side:
Test fit. Naturally, miles of room inside this big 18×11:
