actually, i asked mike about the idea of doing it because i saw that he had put the brembo HUGEbk on his evo. then he immediately offered his to me and thought it would be a really neat idea.

i have the solution for you! it's called the p11/b15 tranny . no but really, i have mine shotpeened and cryotreated and it has taken 350whp all day every day like a champ. but we'll see how it holds up to 550whp

absolutely did not take this as a downer. i really appreciate your input. i'm 18 and i need argument and advocacy in one way or another to keep me in line . the brakes would be really neat to have, but as people stated it seems that there are many things i overlooked in my original design theory. and that is exactly why i posted this thread to begin with; peoples input so i know exactly what the project would need before i set off doing it.

i don't think it would take too much to engineer. provided it could be fitted without any drastic measures, i would most likely use the fastbrakes bracket for my base measurements and design something on solid works for the right dimensions after that, then send it to a machine shop to have it made. i would anticipate the first set and MAYBE the second would be off just a tad so the cost would lie in having to redo it.
you all have contributed greatly to the clutter in my head (not in a bad way) and once i sort it out, i will let you guys know whether i decided to go forward with it or not.
