They look beautiful after they are finished! Is it just the mounting bracket that is different from the 2g 2pots? "Old Blue" 91 Talon TSi AWD "Super Enthusiast" 91 Talon TSi AWD Checkout DSMFAQ.com!

To be honest, the boots seem fine and probably not much harm was done to them. Bryan - yes I think the outlander bracket sits the caliper 10% further away from the centre giving you more rotor to use. So outlander rotors are needed aswell. Alex - totally agree with you, especially when I got all winter to just putter at stuff. There's also lots of sweet shows on the velocity channel that give me motivation. PHP: 1

What size rims do you have Kyle, and what are you upgrading from. I am debating on doing this but I run 16s so just want to make sure it would fit.

Must have gotten 10% stuck in my head lol Bryan my spyder had the single piston stock brake set up and I run 18s and there's still lots of room left for rotors. I could be wrong but I think outlander came stock with 16" rims right? PHP: 1

Bryan Lawrence Senior Member, with Far TOO Much Time on Their Hands Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 9,968 Caledon, Ontario, Canada	I guess I just need to check to see if I have more than 10mm on between the caliper and the rim and that should give me a good idea. I went from 1 pots to 2pots like you, just did the 2g ones though. Makes a huge difference and I am sure you will notice an even bigger difference!
