ive been searching and looking and cant find any nice big brake kit for the FC talking about a bolt in package... i do see FD bolt in packages for about $1400 a little less what holds you back from bolting up FD setup in the FC??
Thanks

i know fd calipers are essentially the same as fc. slightly different but FD front calipers bolt up to FC hubs and FDs and FCs both use the same front brake pads (probably rear too but im not positive)

I know that the offset of the wheels are different between the two.
Not sure if the rotors will swap over.

You can always just make your own kit out of wilwood parts and make a custom caliper mounting bracket.
wilwood has calipers, rotors, floating hats in all diff offsets/sizes/flavors

You could make your own kit for the same you mentioned if not less. Brake kits are generally overpriced

They have different diameter stock discs, so the mounting plates for the kit would be different, and would have to be fabbed. Once youve done that you could have pretty much started with any caliper/rotor combo,..

AFAIK the rotors have a different offset as well, so it won't work.

Precision brakes has/had an FC kit for about $1300 IIRC, but their site changed and I can't see the kit any more.

You don't need big brakes, it's a waste of money unless you're constantly fading them at the track and have exhausted all other options.

the calipers SHOULD be a direct swap, the FD and FC calipers are practically identical. the offset on the rotors is what wont line up right.

take a look at this one
