Once I am sure of the supplier and fitting, I would definitely be willing to get a group buy together. Some background though. I have tried to get the 300 MM rotor and caliper to fit behind stock 16s. It can work with the later ( 2002+) wheels. What is needed is a wheel that has spokes straight to the rim. If the rim has curved "spokes" it won't fit. ( You can use a narrow mount caliper but you lose pad thickness, not a problem if if you don't mind replaceing the pads often) My set has 330 mm rotors will fit 16s but need a thicker maybe 10mm or more spacer ( some behind the rotor maybe 2 mm and some between the rotor and the wheel) Not an optimum set-up.
for the 9-5 the biggest problem is getting the rotor inward enough without hittimg the lower control arm while leaving enough space between the wheel and caliper. I am not sure of the NG 900 9-3 we would need to measure
If someone can let me know what year hubs are interchngeable for the 9-5 and 9-3 and I can get someone to lend me a set to make the measurments.
