Hey,
Never seen the kit so can't help there. I would ask them what the min size wheel you can run, 300mm with caliper on would need a bit of clearance, maybe even 16's? Ask for a brake pad part number too (DB***) so you can check if someone other than them sells that pad and check that you can get different compound pads at a reasonable price. The kit must come with some sort of a mounting bracket, I would ask if this is machined from one piece or just bits welded together, especially if for race use!
Dan.

btw, 300mm rotors can usually run 15"s

if you want the cheaper option, bmw e30 rotors (new) are like 80 bucks which match perfectly to the turbo series rx7 calipers. Tony does the brackets I think. It's what I'll be doing. Toyota levin setup is perfect for rear too.

You shouldn't need to, simply get your standard one main jet resized. I was running a 4wheel disc setup on my gemini with the standard master cyl it wasn't great but it worked. Tony said we could take it to get resized internally. I don't know the exact details but I could ask.

Above is true and correct as I believe, could also have a stainless sleeve put in when you have it rebored and then apprently it will last for a long long time before needing a rebuild.
If you're going to do that you may like to look at a slightly better designed one than a chevette master though, I'm using a Piazza master, because I want to use the remote resevoir from a Piazza/Gemini one to give me more space for the airbox that I may one day fit. I just made up a crude 'adaptor' plate from the old Chevette booster, which I have removed. Currently its running Piazza floating calipers with vented disks (small) and standards at the back, so not a big step up from standard but I find its fantastic on the track. I'd fancy my chances against alot of the other street driven cars out there in a practical braking test.
