Well Stazi used to have my 18's, so if you find those you can use your imagination and subtract 1/2" on each side.

im curious to know where they broke

Just doing a little searching, and I think I've come up with the best/cheapest solution. I'd rather not rely on a junkyard sending me rotors and pads in like-new condition, but I wouldn't mind them sending me some calipers for cheap. So I think I'll just go with some calipers from car-parts.com, and order brand new rotors and pads from BAT for $139.00 for the front set!! Makes me want to put the car away for storage early, as I'm not going to worry about this until winter.

Awesome pic! Thanks Golden! That gives us a good idea of what they'll look like, as most of the people running aftermarket wheels are going 17". You can tell that a 16" will also clear it pretty well. I can't wait to do this upgrade!
Anyone know if any other kits will work for the rear? I know TCE has a big rotor upgrade, but is that our only option?

The FSVT brakes totally fill the stock E1's. There is very little gap between the calipers and the wheels... a good fit.
