Re: New Brake Project

nice...what wheels do you plan to run??

fyi 18" minimum wheels will be required. also not many 18" wheels will clear the calipers.

gm spaced the caliper out more, because of the 6 piston calipers.

Re: New Brake Project

How are you securing that to the nuckle? Is it one of CBR's kits?
If you run into an issue like I did, call these guys:

The 1991 corvette wheels I had didn't have enough back spacing and I had to use 1/2" spacer from those guys. Get the one with the hub centric lip on it. Hopefully you won't need anything.

I have a bracket from an old 13" baer setup. I am also ordering the CBR kit. Hopefuly they will work with one, but if not I will make a bracket for it. I know the rears will be a PITA.

I Know the rears I will need spacers..thanks for the link.

Re: New Brake Project

Just out of curiosity, is .2" differences in OD too much, or okay?

Re: New Brake Project

Brembo recommends 3mm clearance from anything that moves.

3mm=.120" or a little less than 1/8". So you should be fine as long as everything is mounted securely.

I will have to be very careful and double check clearances when the wheels get mounted.

He should be fine with that. I'm prolly running more than that right now what with worn fronts from a bad alignment (fixed) and good rears.

The tire combo will put me at .99% difference. I should be fine. But just incase I'll do do one hell of a burn out before i put in the front prop shaft. lol
