    EVO 8/9 on their Brembo setups use a 12.5" rotor
    EVO 10s on their Brembo setups use a 13.8" rotor

    I am using a Cobra Mustang rotor which is a 13" rotor.
    Yes, I am now making up rotor diameters. I got it straight now.

    Check the forums. People part them all the time for cheap. Sti one's can be found as cheap. Check NASIOC. I sold these brembo's for $350 on ebay and was trying to get $500

    Craigslist buddy!
    Turns out the seller was about 5 blocks from me.

    He had upgraded his brakes and therefore no longer needed his "stockers".

    Well I ordered my brackets from Madparts and let's just say so far I'm having a hard time recommending them… Got my shipping notification with tracking on the 8th. According to tracking it still hasn't actually been shipped. Emailed them yesterday about it and they said they are having issues printing a shipping label. If the parts aren't shipped tomorrow I'm canceling the order and ordering from another vendor.

    Thats really weird! I bought mine on a Saturday evening and he shipped on the next Monday. I had them in hand by Thursday.
    You should call him and ask whats going on.

    Turns out the brackets are/were on back order. Would have been nice to know when I ordered them, I wouldn't have been worrying about what the hell is going on lol.

    Eh, that sucks man.
    Is the ETA acceptable or is it too far out?

    Well they issued me another tracking number today, still hasn't shipped lol. Though he did say they should be here in 2-3 days so fingers crossed.
