don't trick us with big brake kit title. I thought it was a real bbk expecting some endless calipers or something...

Something like that will never happen here in the SC forums.

Does my 14” Stoptech constitute a “real” BBK?

Anything is better than stock. Good Job 2jznat.

Don't know why you need big brakes??? Why would you have to stop quickly??? Oh, that's right...you remembered to put your oil plug in... But, Oh Crap!!! your axle is laying on the road 10 feet back...

You know I love you, sometimes...

I am having a lot of trouble deciding what offset I should get for the wheels I am ordering. I want them to be able to clear the LS of TT brake calipers. The wheel sizes are 18 by 8.5 and 18 by 9.5. They are available in 20, 35 and 45 mm offsets. Does a lower offset mean there is more or less clearance? That is really the question I want to know. Thanks ahead of time!
