Thise look great! This is definitely on my to do list... Cars getting faster, I need some better stopping power
Bogwon, if you ever find yourself passing through Tri cities area, I'd love to see if my wheel clear the calipers. They are the "mesh" type but do have a higher +22 offset so I'm hoping they do.
That'd be a bad deal ordering everything to find out they don't quite clear.

Speed bleeders PN I found that work on these front calipers.
12705 - M8-1.25 X 28mm
I have a 2nd set of calipers for sale if anyone wants a set they can just bolt up
In for sale section here.
Includes an already machined centering ring to the same height as the rotor hat thickness.

Unfortunately I don't ever make it around the tri cities area but if I get a wild hair and wanna make a road trip I'll try to get a hold of you first.
are these the right calipers?

So I scored a set of caliper by accident this morning. Tried them and found out they do not fit under my Starion wheels
It fits under the wheel just fine, but it hits the face. If it had about 5mm of spacer it would probably fit but they already stick out under the fenders too much, so looks like I'm in the market for some new wheels

we need to make a google doc with a excel sheet on what wheels fit and what doesn't, how much spacer, etc...

This is mine with the Starion wheels, the fronts had about an inch of spacers, but the backs did not. Just some very slight camber. Do you have spacers on yours at all? From your IG photos, yours seem to sit out much more than mine.
I should also note that the front fenders have been rolled, there are some eyelashes on the pass side that gave that away, have you considered rolling them?

Mine are rears all around
While looking for rotors today I came across this:
http://stoptech.com/products/big-brake-kits/replacement-parts/bbk-repl-aero-rotors
They make 2 piece rotors in 332x32mm size, would that be to big? Has anybody found any two piece rotor options? they also make a 328x28mm but I think that may be too narrow. If you paired a set up with the hats for the 350Z would that space them out perfect AND center them without having to use centering rings?

at $240 per disc I'm not sure that's gonna happen lol. and that's without hats. if I could find rotors without the hats already drilled out for the lug/hub pattern I would go that route, but 2piece rotors just look so good lol.
Agreed the 2 piece rotors are quite appealing as far as aesthetics and weight savings.
Find any that are 330mm OD and 32mm thick?
I might have some custom hats made at some point if there are any discs that size available.
Would help cut some serious weight off the front MB 330mm upgrade brakes I installed.

not that ive found, they have a corvette option that's 325X32 but I don't think that would work.
no luck finding undrilled rotors either, the hope was to find one without the lug/hub drilled out already and avoid having to use a centering ring, then have them cryo dipped, slotted, and anodized on my own. but I think I'm SOL on that front.
Yeah 325 won't work, the pad surface is already just about to the edge of the rotor.
Aluminum centering rings are pretty easy to come by.
Just need a bit of machining to shorten the height a bit for use with the rotor instead of a wheel.
Though if you make a custom top hat to bolt to the rotor you can just make the center ID correct for the Supra application.

Someone who's got these on should make a template and scan it in so people can print it and test fit it inside their wheels.
Like this.
You just basically cut a piece of cardboard till it fits tight around the caliper and flat on the rotor hub face (wheels spacers OFF), then trace it on another piece of cardboard to make an inverse template.
Then scan it and make a PDF so everyone can print it the right scale.
