Sweet update man, what kind of bracket did you have to get to get the calipers to fit?

It looks like it's coming along nicely. I like seeing the progression on your s13, unlike myself who is working backwards. My car is on jack stands due to the fact that I have no wheels.

Just the factory bracket from the J30. From what I've read the J30 and Q45 front brakes would have been a factory upgrade if requested, no definite confirmation on that though. The only obstacle I encountered was the dust shield having a lip on it that had to be removed. I've definitely got to figure an easy way to smooth the edges out, I almost lost a finger.
Are you picking up some new wheels?

Making some progress I see, can't wait till this thing is done. The wait will be worth it! Keep up the good work

Well I was planning on going 5 lug and was in a little slump financially so I decided to sell them sooner than later. I still haven't collected everything for my brake upgrade and 5 lug so now my car is stuck on jack stands lol.

Was at a junkyard today and scooped up this fatty, tbd if it is a real A'PEXi. It needs some elbow grease and a good welder to get it on the car.

LMK if you find a good set of them somewhere mine are getting tired and all I can find is less than half of them anywhere.
5 Lug FTW some many more wheel options. Where you going to use a J30 or Q45 rear end or some thing like that?
More fire
