Sneak peak.. this is the new rotor.. that is a 16" 7th gen rim.
 Stock Rotor w/ rim installed Stock GT Rotor no rim New rotor no rim Probably be 2 versions of the brake kit. One would be a 318mm rotor designed for use on 16" or larger rims. The other would be a 323mm rotor which will only fit 17" or larger rims. Both using the same 4 pot caliper. Personally I'll be using 318mm rotor.. The price difference between the two will be pretty small.. The 318mm kit will actually be the more expensive one.. between 30-40 dollars more. Btw, these are camera phone pictures... I never thought I'd see the day when cam phone pics looked this good... -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

I don't want people to have to upgrade to a 17 or larger if they already have 16's... -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer.

Yes, they could come slotted. Not certain about price yet, I want to keep it around a grand though...
Just from my testing so far... most people unless you have an offset of probably around +30 to +25... are going to need to use a rim spacer to fit these calipers. With my 7th gen rims, I can fit the smaller brake kit if I use a 15mm spacer.. I'll be making and selling spacers to go along with the kits.. using ARP wheel studs.. The spacers will be hubcentric.

Not to destory your sales, but no one one this forum actually needs a big brake kit. It's mostly a fashion statement unless you're roas coursing all the time. A lot of these guy could get by great with a SS lines, a Hawk/EBC pad, fresh rotors and some nice fuild. That would be perfect for the daily driver and weekend autocrosser.
It worked out great on my old 6gc, paired with the Eagle F1 gsd3's. For only about $300 or less, I saved my car from many a deer -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

^i doubt SERIOUSLY doubt that anyone on this forum will make good use of a Big brake kit...except for show reasons....
a "BBK" will NOT help braking on the street or on a drag strip. (having a 3s doesn't constitute the need either) This post has been edited by playr158: Jul 22, 2007 - 11:08 PM |
