Alliance BBK (First Powder-Coated Red)

I don't think that's 370mm rotors on that 370Z. Hat style looks like it's a 345/355mm rotor setup.

Here's a pic of my setup with my 20" reverse lip with Rotora 8pot/15"rotor. I have just a tad more than 0.5" Clearance between the caliper and the wheel. When I shopped for Work wheels with step lips, Work USA Confirmed to me that their 20" step lip (of the Schwert SC1) will not clear the diameter as it's a bit smaller than their regular 19" Reverse lip

I'm not sure if SSR's barrel design is the same.

Nevertheless, I'm super anxious to see that your setup will work. And it's a great feeling to know that your vendor/sponsor is backing you up.

this was done on purpose. the only complaint we've received about the kits was the screw head bolts, and how they look. they are not polished normally, as they are zinc plated, so they are a 'steel gray' color, and people always complained about that detracting from the look of the kits, so these were done so that the screws were colormatched.

I dont have templetes to go off so it like playing the guessing game. Looks like I will be waiting longer to get this kit on. Spacers is not what I need it is a smaller rotor that will be needed but I will find out sat.
**********Stay tuned for the verdict

Justin I completely missed this point when we had our last phone conversation. i was saying the generic size required for 15" rotors is 19" wheels, but did not account for the step lip. We'll have to see, fingers crossed

I don't blame you. I powdercoat on average, 10 sets of calipers per week. When the option is presented, on caliper sets that have the bolts exposed, I always offer the option of coating them assembled rather than apart, because those bolts just get grimy after a short while. At a minimum, if they are a new caliper, I will reassemble after the base coat and then clearcoat them with the bolts installed.
