    this might be a silly question andrew... but with all these bigger caliper setups.. is the factory brake booster going to be sufficient for them?

    NFI, I haven't measured the piston size on the FPV calipers.

    The brakes were not happy at the motorkhana yesterday and I am looking at upgrade options.
    They didn't fit under my volk 17's as per avatar, but they were slightly dished at the front.

    Will require low offset, non dished rims to clear.

    Thanks dood,

    I just got back from Cruzida's house and confirmed that 17" Volk AV's (17x9.5 +19) don't fit, not even close LOL. (Looks like similar rims to your avatar)

    forget about 17's,

    You can clear a 330 disc with 17's however not the 355

    Most 17's won't have a chance, but there will be some out there that will fit.

    Likewise some 18's will be too small, but most *should* be ok.

    Late reply but the four pots would majorly foul on 99.99% of wheels looking at the pics of fitment of the 2 pots. Its a struggle to fit any decent rims ie any with dish on a BA-BF falcon let alone looking at the lack of clearance you already have with the 2 pots.
    If in doubt power out
