Thats what I was wondering. With that size I would consider something in the 19mm-20mm range. I think that the T3 master would make the brakes too quick and would lock up real fast. I think a proportioning valve will be key too. You gotta keep that rear end from swinging around on you.

I was really hoping to use these rotors but I might not be able to go with 5x130. These rotors are 13.5" by 31mm and the bolt pattern is 5x113. they are friggin HUGE!


actually mercedes is 5x112

there is a whole lot more wheel options with 5x112, i might just go that route.

FFN- i'm on 4 lug type 3 rear drum (swing axle) right now, is that what your asking. I know type 1 guys like to upgrade their rear brakes to type 3 drums.

yup, they have the sweet chromoly hubs, 944 rear rotors, and they are using Wilwood 4 pot calipers with ebrakes. I'm looking for a OEM rear caliper solution...i.e. cheap, wilwoods are too rich for my blood.
