Brembo F40 / Stoptech ST40

[-ichi-go-]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these calipers in fitting to s14s?

I have a pair of Brembo F40s which I believe has the same dimension and identical to Stoptech ST40s.

Now I'm looking to fit these F40s with 355mm rotors and since Stoptech makes both 332mm and 355mm kit, i'm wondering if the radial mount bracket from the kit will work?

I'm lead to believe the offset hat will be different?

So my question really is:
F40 + Stoptech radial mount 355mm + Z34 355mm rotors

Will this work?

Thanks

No reason why it wouldn't be possible, you'll just need to fab up the appropriate caliper bracket to accept the radial mount style caliper to the factory hub.

With that said, IMO it's overkill and will force you to run wheels that look out of place on the car. You'd probably need a 19" or so at the minimum...and 19" sucks as tires are stupidly priced and uncommon...so do you goto a 20"? Either way it looks lame on a 240. I just can't see an 18" fitting...if it does, power to ya.

Fabbing up the caliper bracket is the hard part, not much 3D milling machine shop from where i'm at, hence looking at purchasing off the shelf

You dont really need 19s to fit 355mm rotors, here's F50 clamping on 355mm rotors on 17" TE37

Well true, there are some wheels. I remember seeing SHoes59 shoving a 6 piston wilwood under 16 TE's somehow haha.

I guess to me it's way overkill. Looks cool though.

so you can buy the brackets from stoptech?
