Project Mu 4 piston, 345mm

Hi, does anybody know will 18" wheels clear this BBK? I know it depends on offset and design also, but just want to know in general.

Thanx

an 18" wheel will clear a 13.5" rotor typically. Just depends on the Caliper. The 4Pot Mu caliper is pretty huge. THis is not the system they use when racing. THis is a show/street system from what I have seen of it. Manf process has changed on this model to make it less expensive and easier to sell.

i'd go towards stoptech if you're going to spend that much on a Japanese system. If going Japanese only buy their race proven stuff or do what I did and GO ENDLESS. Do you know if they are floating or fixed rotors?

ok... what size rotors does endless offer? I wanna get something bigger than stock but nothing that needs 19" wheels to fit. I checked endlessusa.com, they only list 323mm, which I think is stock size.

Ya for endless we are not producing a larger rotor than stock. The factory rotor dimensions are plenty large enough for the power and weight of our vehicles. Anything more will just add weight to your unsprung weight.

If you want larger then ED might not be the way to go. I simply did a caliper kit with mine and the difference in pedal modulation and initial response is incredible. not too mention fade resistance, but that can largely be due to pad material.
