Stoptech st-40 bigger rotors

Max rotor size is 332 which is a joke nowadays. Sure would be nice if someone made a caliper bracket to extend it to run 365mm or so sized rotors.
Anyone else interested?

I'm interested. You'd need either a spacer + longer studs for the caliper bracket, or a new caliper bracket, and new hats for the 355x32mm rotor.

I'd definitely be keen on a bigger setup. Need to take mind off for a rebuild and powder coat soon anyway.

Being radial mounts it would just be spacers on the caliper that you can get from summit but what would be actually needed would be custom rotor hats to run the bigger 355 rotor bolt pattern .... anyone know if any of the stoptech part #'s might mix and match work or would it be custom?

What spacers are you talking about from Summit? The brackets have studs on them, not bolts, so if you just added a spacer the studs won't be long enough.

I looked through most of the ST catalog and didn't see a 355 hat that would work. The rx7 hats are deeper than most, and it has to be an exact measurement.

Hmm I could be wrong then and this may require both hats and a bracket solution....
