Default correct, but that means that i only have to do 2 more...i just place the two refinished ones

on one side and the regular diamond finish on the other...for now. well, believe it or not, these will be my winter set...with nokian WRs.

Default its been confirmed from the NJ BBS distributor that the 5x100 bolt pattern will not

be on the LM list anymore. that's what i have been told...although the outer barrels will be replaceable with LM-R barrels with the same diamond finish. so theoretically, one should be able to buy just the barrels when they become available in may 2007.

Default with stoptechs, you need at least a 15 to 20mm to clear. i put on my 20mm spacers

when i had the porsche monoblocs on (which measured exactly the same thickness as the stoptechs) and i was out over an inch out of the front fender. that's when i had the porsche calipers on. it was a shame...and by then, i was forced to find replacement calipers that fit.

Default probably the only ones around that i could find...although i bet there's a few floating

around in some warehouse in different parts of the country...i just couldn't track them down.

Default Porsche fitment with adapter/spacers are the key - will fit BBK no problem

and you can run staggered as well. Some don't like the large bolt circle look though.

Default Repair for stuff pertaining to their kit is. My [Spec Stg. 3] clutch went on before their kit did.

APR hasn't exactly moved with a swiftness, but they've been VERY good otherwise, and I can't complain about the customer service.

Default I don't like the idea of running two sets of bolts... Or having to pay a lot of money for 4 spacers.

But the larger bolt circle doesn't bother me at all. ;-P

Default i'm not too crazy about how the center fits on the barrel. always looked odd IMHO.

although, its hard to believe that it works with BBKs. there's hardly any room to work with in the first place because the LM centers are so flat.
