UAS big brake upgrade... and by jesus they are freakin huge. Beer in pic to show relative size of the rotor. Also get a few bucks off if you mention you are a club member...
And yes, before you ask... I painted them up properly before taking the pic
Anyone want a DIY for how to install them?

These are the 330mm rotors? Crikey...
UAS are the cheapest around when it comes to brake components.. can't seem to find anyone who can match their pricing on the DBA rotors.
/browses catalogue. They have a fairly cheap rotor upgrade for the soap box. If only I could afford a 6-pot setup

hmmm 330mm means gotta run 17"
I got the 276mm now and thinking whether to try putting the 294mm ones or not as I'll then be forced to run 16" wheels as a minimum
16" is the largest rims I'll ever put on the car so these are definately out of the question

Why don't you wanna put on anything over 16"? Worried about your cars ride not being as smooth?

good rims, good tyres and decent suspension and my 18s run pretty good.
stock is smoother for sure...but where is the fun in that?

Im running 18's but Im looking to go down to 17s. Just too little tyre wall for track use on the 18s.

No just want better acceleration, braking and handling
I drive a Lancer not FTO anyway. 17s are ok on FTO
Also I am planning on running semi slicks on street and 17s get too expensive
Besides that, I reckon small wheels with high profile tyres look tough as

why would u run Semis on the road? I assume your looking at track work...if your only using stockies then just but a set of 16" for your semis. Thats what the rest of the world does.
My new rims for my semis are some Work CR Kai's hmmm hot stuff.

No I don't particularly plan to track it (often at least anyway, if at all)
Just semi's nowdays are fairly cheap and for a tiny bit more than your average performance tyres, why not go semi's instead?
I drive a friends 06 STi and that goes good on semi's just for street. I realise completely different cars, but the back tyres on mine wont need changing often at all, and the front ones at $200ish a tyre is not a problem to change every few months

Good luck though and let us know how they go!
