brapp brapp!
I'm not sure if that sort of stopping power is even justified lol! It must be fantastic..
From what ive seen teh k sport 8 pots are very small pistons, say a cm across if that, thought the idea of hydraulic was small supply into large cylinder means looooads of power, small pistons means less power, maybe the reason they are better is becuase they are pressing teh pads against the disc more evenly and from both sides and not relying on sliders on a single piston.
If im talking rubbish correct me lol.
Whats the braking power like?

Minimum 17´´ with offset maximum 20-25. It depends also on the wheels - if they are made for big brakes or not... I have 17x7´´OZ Ultraleggera and 15 mm aluminium spacers.
330mm 8 piston brakes on an N15... by checking the other photos, the car might have about, 190-230 horses? if it's also a turbo, then more of course.
Except if it's instead an SR20VE, where it would have 230+ horses with those parts.
Though, the 3 most basic and 'first to do things' on a project car are brakes, suspension and the chassis, then there's the bearings and bushes, after those would be the engine because everything else is ready for it, though the engine is far cheaper than the stuff done before it (if done in this order)
There's also air conditioning, cooling system, distributor, water pump, gas pump, injectors, MAF, intake, exhaust, clutch and tons of other stuff + all the 'exterior look mods' you want to do.

You're crazy but with relevance, I've noticed that the callipers are showing signs of rust on the inside after a while.
