The bracket is for the rear, right? (in order to run 350mm rotors instead of 330mm ones)

Do they have a bracket or spacer for people to run 380mm setup? (just curious..)

I think PCCB calipers at the rear can be fitted with 350mm rotors without the radial spacers. There is a spacer kit for 380mm at the front for PCCB calipers; I think the guy with Homer Simpson as his avatar have them.

I'll do more research and will post now that I got the part numbers for the disc assemblies...

bracket on the rear -- correct
the rear rotor size increases so the bracket is to facilitate that

as to running 380 up front... I never found the 350 to be lacking... but more is better I suppose

...except there is already a lot of bias up front in the 6-GT3. Now if we had an adjustable proportioning valve....

brakes on any GT3 are MORE than adequate. if you need bigger rotors, you need to learn how to brake. in fact, you can go down a size and still have more than you need in braking power.

I was just curious on how it is done (since someone here did it).. I have no plan on changing anything until I learn how to drive... so no worry.. !

To bring the thread back on topic - congrats on the car to 007DT! Certainly helps to buy a car from a fellow Rennlist member as the car has all the right parts!!

>> • Cup shift cables

These are the cables with rod ends replacing the rubber ball/socket ends correct? How were these modified to attach to the selector linkage on gearbox ? Did you drill out the ball ends and replace with studs? Any gear noise in the interior as a result?
