You are NUTS[:u]
Nothing like over brakeing a car that weighs just over a tonne.
Using brakes from something that weighs 2.5 tonnes.

I love it...

The final front brake spec has been reached...360x32mm Chrysler 300C SRT8 rotors/Porsche Cayenne 6 piston Brembo Calipers[:p]. The wheels will be Simmons FR18x8's. After several different combinations were tested,the FR17's just wouldn't fit over the 6 piston Brembo's[V]. The only thing to do now is repaint the calipers and suspension parts...this will happen when the car gets resprayed[;^)]

Cheers Guys[:p]

The weight isnt to bad,the rotors are the heaviest part. The calipers weigh similar to hilux 4 spots,possibly a bit less. Once DBA release a 5000 series rotor with the alloy bell for the 300C SRT8 I will change to that, although most of the weight is in the actual disc rather than the bell.
