I posted this in another thread but i thought i would share it with the rest of you as well.


Here are the specs:

13 x 1.25 2 piece directional vaned U.S made rotor (X drilled and Slotted,CAD plated AND Cryo frozen)
6 piston radial mount caliper
Anodized hats and brackets
EBC Greenstuff pads
Goodridge Stainless lines
Aircraft quality hardware

2 things that are unique about this set up are the weight reduction in unsprung weight and the cryo freezing. The kit drops about 6 pounds of unsprung weight off each front wheel which is instantly felt!! Much better steering feel. The cryo freezing doubles the life expectancy of the rotor while creating a flatter outer surface which in turn creates a larger contact patch with the pad.

BTW, those are 19" TE37s

Doc,

What's the weight of the caliper? How about the rotor?

lets see the whole car

Well, to my surprise, i was being very conservative in terms of the weight reduction. I just weighed everything out and was amazed at how heavy the factory components were. Here is the breakdown between the two set ups. Wilwood 6 piston and OEM SC430 brakes.

Factory Rotor: 16lbs. vs 13 x 1.25 2 Piece Rotor: 11lbs.+2lbs. for the rotor hat and hardware = 13lbs.

Oem caliper, bracket and pads is a whopping 14lbs vs. Wilwood 6 piston caliper,pads, and bracker = 7lbs

In all, you drop 10 pounds of unsprung weight of each front wheel!!!! Anyone that is into racing knows that one of the best way to increase handling, acceleration, and over all performance is to reduce unsprung weight.

These weight differences hold true for the SC, GS, and LS.

The car was filthy when i took those pics, as soon as she is clean again I ll post the entire ride

D..nice..mind sharing with us the price and location where you got them from?
alos what are the rotor sizes and brands?

DocofMind

Price for the entire front kit is right around $1750. As soon as everything with sponsorship works out, there will be a group buy. As of now, I am not allowed to disclose anymore info in regards to purchasing. Stay tuned though, wont be long now

Rotor diamater is 13" and is 1.25" thick. They are directionally vaned, heavy duty rotors manufactured here in the U.S. by Coleman Engineering. They are heat treated, CAD plated, and cryogenically frozen.

In the meantime, if you have any other specific questions or concerns about the set up, let me know.

or is that a damn good price for that kit???? I know the pricing for AP, Brembo, SupraTT, Stop tech, etc., etc., and that is far better.....
