Haha, these calipers are freakin monsters! My donors were toast so I decided to bite the bullet. Besides the kit itself, this was the single most expensive purchase lol

Quick question. Will the little big brake kit effect the way the fender stays connect? I would assume not, but wanted to check. Any other issues of mounting these with 15x8 wheels?

I do not know about the figment with fenders yet, theses will fit the 15x8 Holeshots fine (like you have), it's what Exomotive ran on xp-3 or xp-4. I plan to get the black Holeshots as well.

Yep. Same story. Not worth the expense vs the risk of careless damages. Besides, a friend of mine has a place for us to stay down there plus we have a Jeep to deliver down there. Won't be hauling an empty trailer and I'm only paying half the cost of gas.  |

The brakes are mounted closer to the rim side of the hub if anything. You had to drill into the rear hubs to mount your fender mounts didn't you? |

When installing the rear fender stays, the back (rear most), you have to drill two holes through the tab that is sticking out. I did it while they were on the car, would be much easier to do while they are not on the car! Here are some pics I stole from Kevin's build thread showing what we are talking about:    The last picture shows the fender stays bolted onto the tab. This picture only shows the first bolt, the second bolt would go right below it. |

Yeah. Much easier to do with it off the car. Wonder if Kevin can give me the stays when I pick up the chassis.

Yep. Same story. Not worth the expense vs the risk of careless damages. Exactly what I'm doing probably the week after you (#100). I'm not cool with paying a bunch of money to have my chassis show up damaged. Especially with how the animals at the local Dallas UPS depot treated another builders race chases requiring repair 2x from Exomotive. |

I have an early car without the lugs to drill on the rear hubs.
Is there no way to make a bracket from the top and bottom hub bolts to hold the arch support maybe?
