The Skinny on Brake Upgrades

[pikespeakgtx]

Right on. Lets say it's undisclosed. If you want to lookup prices be my guess, but I've thrown way too much $$$ at this project and it's the last thing I want to be reminded of.

If you look at what similar 4 piston brake setups go for, I think you'll find them in the $4000 range for all 4 corners.

Thats 4 rotors,4 sets of brembo floating drive pins, 4 custom hats, 4 custom brackets, 4 calipers, 2 sets of brake pads, bias adjuster, MC, booster,Braided lines, high temp brake fluid, paint, coating, and anodizing.

Just heard back from him, his conversion involved fwd hubs, saab 9000 rotors, Wilwoods in front and rx7 calipers in back, a lathe, and a milling machine.

Here's pics of the setup JVL made for Derrick Bottles old car. He uses those saab rotors front and rear. He made concentric rings in the lathe and pressed them into the rotors so you don't loose the concentric hub feature like you do with the gaylant upgrade. He's using old wilwood superlites up front and RX-7's out back.

Here's a pic of the bracket you'll need to fit the RX-7 calipers. Notice the spindle must be modified.
