14" brake kits for the FD?

So far I've only seen KSport and Megan Racing offering 14" or larger brake kits for the FD. Are there any other kits out there? Anyone try them out?

Also, is there anyone that makes backing plates for the FD?

Thanks,

Maybe he wants to fit 20s on the FD and need big brakes to finish the look. LOL

Best to call a brake company and see what a custom set will cost. Maybe look into SUV brake systems from Bear. It would need custom brake hats and caliper mounts.

Let's say you have a car with 550 RWHP and would like to run a brake kit on the track without ducts. Like the one in my sig. For example.

AtomicRex also does brake kits that are HiSpec rebrands... not sure if he offers different configs than HiSpec themselves.

Have a look at my thread;

Atomic rex can provide bigger kits if required.
