front brakes on rear, to clear a few things up Options

[b1gr3d]

i was talking about fabricating or modifying the BRACKET for the caliper, not the disk or the lugs. i was looking for a cheap alternative to buying a brake kit for $700. i wanted the bigger disks for 75%looks as this is a daily driver. so thanks for the input. maybe i will try this mod when i get more money....but then i could probably buy a kit
by the way 99 and up pontiac grand ams are 5x100 and i know that for a FACT because i put my 17's on one

and why did you make an entirely new post? this isn't allowed by the "rules"

Sadly, the other got locked before it was settled. I want to settle it. I'm talking directly to you plyer. I didn't mean to irritate you so much. I would probably cost me more than $150 to make a big brake kit. But what I'm trying to say is that it might not. There could be a brake system out there that wouldn't be that hard to fabricate and make work. I didn't mean to attack you personally with my posts. At least I shouldn't have, although it seems pretty clear that I did. I would have said it no matter who posted it, so it was nothing against you. I just have a problem with people thinking you have to spend a lot of money. Look at urbandorks write up on the Accords intake modified to fit into a Celica. That's a lot cheaper than a Injen, and it most likely works better. There are things that you have to buy, but I just want more people to know what it's like to work with their hands and make things. I figured you would understand that with all the custom work you've done. There's nothing like the feeling you get when you make a part work, or make anything work. If we always leave it up to the Professionals, it keeps the innovations out of our hands. Again, I am sorry for the attack. I wanted to make it public so everyone could know what I was trying to say. I'll continue to try to not lash out and attack people. I was doing so well too.
