Befor I get my self into problems
OK Guys I need to know if there is anything I should know before I do the big brake upgrade for the front only from REspeed??
I have everything from a 91 FC now I just need to purchase the kit from REspeed but this is my concern I have 15X7 Enkies That I like Alot and will hate to replace but at the same time I know A new world of available wheels will be open to me if I keep it 5X114, But my Idea is to keep the rear axes the 4X110 pattern and get that same bolt pattern drill in the front FC rotors. I hope you guys understand what am trying to say.
It is possible?? or Am thinking to much??Please Help.
Will I be able to keep my stainless steel lines from my 85 GSL and use them on the FC calipers??I know it sounds dome asking all this ?? but I never done something like this but Not Afraid to do so.

I hear you and thats the same reason why I havent upgraded. I dont feel like spending anymore $$$ on rims since I have already invested over $4K on old school rims alone. For me, upgrading is pointless unless you have outrageous HP.
at any rate, PM JesusCookies. He has upgraded his duece. The company that made his kit is able to make any bolt pattern.

a quality set of pads and rotors is more than adequate for our cars. until you get into any form of racing where you're getting brake fade then it's time to upgrade. you will have endless wheel choices and something different, but a little less pedal pressure to stop. whats it worth is up to you.

just so you know, respeed it about to introduce a kit where you can do the upgrade and have any 4 lug pattern you want. 114.3, 110, etc. so, i suggest waiting till it is released. i guarentee itll be worth it and youll get to keep your enkies.
wacky-- i know, you should feel so bad for wasting all that money on those wheels. you know what will make you feel better? sending me a set of 4x110 wheels to make my DD look better
as gavin has stated above, due to the weigh of our cars, SE brakes should be more than enough in most cases. i went with the respeed kit though
