Re: Budget big brake how to

now is it possible to do this brake upgrade and still use my stock ex 10.3 or whatever rotor?
I can get a pair of S2000 calipers for basically free from my friend.
I wanna be able to do this and keep my slotted rotors without spending extra money for new sloted rotors.
plus I am in Germany where I have to switch to winter tires every year starting november or else I pay a fine for not having them. my winter tires are mounted on stock 14" rims.
I don't care much for bigger rotors since I somethimes use slicks mounted on 13" rims.

can I run the s2000 or similar calipers without changing the rotors?

i might have missed something but why do you have to use the DA spindels if your going to machine the calipers for clearance-stock spindles dont line up at all?
really intrested in doing this at work....so much free time to dick around its not even funny
