When you try to buy Brembo or StopTech for instance, they're all specialized for certain vehicles. Same with rims/wheels but I understand that to a degree because there are different bolt patterns.
Ok so for brakes, it just seems like simple logic. Make sure the brake callipers fit on the rotors and the rotors fit on the wheel hub then make sure they clear the wheel diameter. Voila!
Reality is quite different. No Brembo for our car, no StopTech. I see VW GTIs put on aftermarket Brembos, STI come standard with Brembo, hell, even GTI guys are running Porsche 911 brakes.
What the hell? Why can't we do that?
