big brake kit
I am about to buy the Brembo Gran Turismo kit(4 piston big brake kit). Does anyone have a pic of this setup on their ride? Plus, I have 19s, so fitment should not be problem, however does anyone know how much wider the calipers are? wondering if I am going to need larger spacers.

Here is my setup... I put them on two years ago.
I can't seem to find a current pic that shows the brakes. But the performance is fabulous.
FWIW I had to use 25mm spacers to get my ET35 wheels to clear them. I have the single piece rotors, the tophat on the two piece rotors is taller so the spacer thickness is less.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/XLR8TT/audi_photos/padi_tt_mods/brembo_brakes/">My Fotki</a></li></ul>
