Anyhoo- to get this back on track.
Any chance in hell of these babies fitting on the 18" stock wheels?
My Long term goal is to run 20's in the summer but keep my stock 18's for winter driving so that's why

I thonk the prices will be in the $1895 per axle. that is seriously lower than the offshore unit that is available.
If you are going to road race, do not get the rotors drilled. just slotted and plated

I noticed you mentioned that before - why is drilled worse? less braking surface? Any pics of said system yet on mike's g8?

The only time I think that drilled rotors are OK is if they are actually cast into the rotors. Drilling them, can concentrate the heat so much, that under the realllllly severe usage such as a 25-30 lap roadrace run, can heat the rotors up so fast, that the venting cannot eliminate the heat fast enough,a dn service cracking can concentrate at the drilled holes.
Now the vehicles yo see road racing with drilled rotors, were actually had the holes cast in them when made

Will you be selling these break kits directly? or through pedder dealers, or where can we get these babies when they're done

I believe the axle set will be 1895. I think Mike Haddad is picking up his G8 tomorrow. So I think they are done.
I just did some checking. As far as I can tell the brake stuff is all done. BAER is doing testing and they ae a few days behind. So they are not ready yet. Sorry
