What is the design like, are they the FD discs or FC turbo vented discs? Or are they a completely new design?

They have a single piston rear caliper, twist style piston, so there's no retarded inner e-brake drum to take away from swept area. It is similar to an FC setup(I've never played with an FD so I don't know). It is vented.

i can look, i think they are bigger than the fc/fd. the fronts are a lot larger than the fc/fd

it has larger brakes than the FD? Can someone post a good pic of them...possibly with a size reference in the pic.

Black8 05-14-2005 07:10 AM

vosko 05-14-2005 10:32 AM

Those are the front brakes...obviously the rotor is an aftermarket rotor, but that's the OE caliper.....
