Coilovers - Only coilovers as fas as I know that come with NVH upper camber plates to help in noise reduction and vibration. Fully height adjustable with 12 level spring damping and 9k front & 10k rear spring rates. On the softest setting both front and rear the ride is still comfortable, front is slightly stiffer than Eibach and the rear is slightly softer but the response is very good especially on bumpy surfaces while turning, feels very planted. Comes with canceller and strut thickness both for the front and rear is thicker than the OEM, due to this my front 20x9 +37 was touching the strut, added 5mm spacer so my final offset is 20x9 +32. It is still very close to the strut so I actually do not recommend to go more than 20x8.5 for the front if you are planning to go with this coilovers.

BBK - 6 piston 380x34 front, 4 piston 370x28 rear, both 2 piece with aluminum hat. I cannot express how much better this performs over the stock Brembo brakes, not a single vibration or noise even from very high speeds (100mph+). Feels super secure and adds a lot more confidence when driving. Caliper and aluminum hat color was custom and required some additional time to be arranged but well worth the wait.

The below weight comparison is including the required dog bones for the calipers,

Front Calipers - OEM 5.5 kg - Neotech 7.9 kg
Rear Calipers - OEM 3.1 kg - Neotech 3.9 kg
Total - OEM 8.6 kg - Neotech 11.8 kg

Front Rotors - OEM 11.4 - Neotech 11.3
Rear Rotors - OEM 9.2 - Neotech 9.4
Total - OEM 20.6 - Neotech 20.7

Considering the rotor size and thickness difference the added rotational mass is almost nothing (0.1kg), thanks to the aluminum hats for that. The added caliper weight is as expected as the material is the same but the caliper and pads are significantly bigger, plus the dog bones are very heavy.

Highly recommend Neotech, very good quality and service.

Your are looking at $4,100 for both the back and front, price is without shipping. Similar specification kits by Brembo, Stoptech etc will cost the same or more just for the front.

Great job! Finally a well thought out and executed setup

I did get some rubbing in the outer part of the wheel well liner after having some passengers in the back, hit it with a heat gun and bent the liner and so far it is okay.
 
That's cool :thumbup:
Will you consider to sell the extra brembo brake kit(4 of them with rotor) ?
I'm interested in it

I'm interested to see how these rotors and brakes last over the next 5000km in your area. If they don't show the same wear and tear as stock then I will purchase them as well.
 
What's the minimum clearance for those front calipers? I went with 18" Enkeis as "have some track fun" wheels, but it seems like they wouldn't clear these calipers, unfortunately..
