    i would have to disagree and say u got alot more chance fitting the brembos...

    The FPV 2 pots are massive though. Much much bigger than the caliper on an MA70 Supra.

    Caliper would be approx 30% larger than stock caliper and weighs noticeably less.

    In relation to the calipers, there is plenty of clearance to the rim face (2cm or so) so there wouldnt be an issue with 4 pots for example.

    HOWEVER, these rims would definetly not fit brembos due to the taper inside the lip. A diferent design of 18 rim will easily fit these brakes.

    In relation to 17's, you will need to find a pretty special set to strech over and not foul the caliper, but im sure not impossible.

    The photo below should demonstrate the clearance to the rotor face.

    Nothing planned yet. Will test the setup first, see if there are any bias issues etc then make a call.

    Caliper pistons are 2x 40mm, didnt measure the single piston size when i pulled them off. But suffice to say there will be a noticeable increase in piston volume.

    I measured what I could of the piston before sending them back to you.
    Assuming they aren't like the skyline 4 pots, and the piston is the same diameter the whole way down, then they are identical in size to the stock ones (fluid capacity wise).

    I'd say its a fairly common size for most non massif calipers.
