I had them on my MZ4 Coupe...
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=828344 The caliper rubbed the OEM 18" wheels, which is what I use for track days. Will require a 12mm spacer to clear.

It's like never having to buy new rotors again. It's weird. If I didn't track the car I think the rotors would have lasted at least 10 years/100,000 miles.

No. But I may when the new batch of calipers are powder coated from RB.

Plus the gains in the ability to precisely modulate the brakes in each and every brake zone means what I give up in turn-in response will be more than offset. While it's not the ideal solution, I think ultimately the gain will out weigh the negative.

what i mean is that the spacers and the camber shim do the same effect not the opposite to cancel out each other. Can you please explain a bit ? |

Diagram attached shows how camber shims (middle picture) and spacers combined will increase positive scrub radius. So adding spacers may exacerbate problems, assuming our cars come from factory with positive scrub radius. Now that I have camber plates in I may choose to remove the shims and use the camber plates specifically to adjust camber, if I need to run spacers.
