Yes it is!! cause before that I install the wheels spacers there were almost scratching the wheel, so as I install the 3mm spacers they have for sure more than 3mm of clearance

When I change the suspension setup I mist OEM brake setup and balance , so now should work perfect if my calculations are correct.

Ok here we go again Im intalling the gt500 rear brakes to compensate the evo 10 ones at front Acording to my calculation this should solve the problem of the brake balance Im intalling the rotors and calipers
I think that the Mustang gt500 that the brakes came from is 2011

By the way
The evo x brakes works in a superb way
At 100mph it brakes with no efford
Best upgrade ever
So here we go for the rear ones

looks great man. also for ls1 camaro guys run 4 piston ctsv brembos under 17inch wheels. but you have to grind the top of the calipers to squeeze them under. and they dont fit under most 17'' wheels

Ok
Test drive 1
Simce like the pedal teavel is way to much
I think that probably i need to change the master cilinder
Witch is the 929 one that fit perfectly?
