Enjoy and ask away with questions.

The calipers are $350 each and the rotors are $200. Plus all the lines and pads and what not. The brackets I would sell for $125 with the bolts needed.

Few questions:

 

1: there really is no chance a 16 inch wheel could clear those is there?

 

2: are there any full on pictures of that car with those centerlines, I love those wheels and would love to see a good picture of a z34 with them on it

 

3: I have 96' front knuckles, would I need to swap back to the early ones to fit these?

That's not the same caliper bracket you made up previously is it Mark? I looks like its on a stock spindle... 96+ I assume?

Posted

These are stock knuckles, not modified at all. They more than likely wont fit under a 16" wheel. They might though. I know UI have seen 13" brakes under fat 16" wheels before. These are the 10.9 rotors knuckles.

so old style knuckle.

 

If you can get it, what is the distance from the center of the axle to the farthest out point of the caliper?

Posted

Hmmm those would work well behind my 18" MCSS wheels

Best looking Z ever

 

Wait till you see the turbo z. You can spot it in one of the pics on the website :)

looks fantastic. I wonder why the caliper wasnt designed to sit deeper onto the rotor, that would make for a larger contact patch.

Posted

There rated at 13" and they are sitting perfect on the rotor. I think wilwood did that cause of the length of the pad. These pads are huge.

SO-

calipers are $350 each

rotors are $200 each

brackets are $125 with the bolts needed

 

They will fit 93 and older stock spindles.

 

Can a bracket be made to use the mounting for a 97+.

 

Then, monte, f/bird, vett and etc all become possible.

I dont see why not, i just need the spindle to use. But yes you are correct.

What specific model of caliper/ pad did you use?

 

what gauge is the adapter plate you have made? any better pictures of the mounting hardware?

 

can you get a measurement of the center of the axle to the furthest edge of the caliper?

The calipers are Wilwood dynapro's. The bracket we made is 3/8 steel. I can tell you that a 17" wheel with a 42mm offset has about 1/8" of clearance. Thanks for the feeback rating too ;).

Thanks for the useless camcover!

 

1/8th... are you talking caliper to face of the wheel clearance or caliper to inside of the wheel clearance?
