Nah, maybe 160ATW. It's only a Gen2 GT engine so I cant push the tune too hard. Al thought it might see 180ATW.
I do have a closed deck block I want to start working on soon however, with an increase in capacity.

What sort of block is it Frank? I'm going to use a OD EJ22. Because I have it, so why not.

I thought I'd post up some pictures of the quality of the Brembo's that I recieved from Import Monster.
They have only probably been used from the factory to the holding yard then to the dealer at which point they were removed. Brand f**king new.

I love the Import Monster.
The Brembo's are lighter than the 4 pot WRX callipers as well, which I couldn't believe until I weighed them.
4 pots with 10% pad remaining weighed 5.4kg. The Goldy's weighed 4.95kg with 100% new pads.

Farking score Frank! With the Brembo's, is the pad surface larger? Are the pistons larger? In regard to the 4pots.

Yep, I put the 4 pot and Brembo pads together and there is quite a difference although not huge. I'll post up some comparison pics later.
Pistons are a little larger. The exact dimensions are in that Brakes thread, in that x-cell file I provided.
However the 2 pot rears have larger pistons than the Brembo rears.
What I can't get over is the fact the Brembo's are actually physically lighter.
Dog bones need a small mod to fit over the rear callipers. I was aware of this as this issue has been discussed on a few forums so it's not a big deal. They are alloy so it will be easy to file a little away.
