new goodies on the site and more on the way

Where did you get the cooling hose for your calipers?

From a local shop Discovery Parts. Pretty sure it's on Amazon too.

Would love to see a source or photo of a porsche brembo caliper that is two piece.

quick pull there are more. Maybe not as common as the one piece ones

**modern Porsche lol

But I still stand corrected..

Are you using the CM Buildz rotor shrouds also?

 

[mindmaster]

definitely we need more info about this product. More photos, etc.

Just ordered the GFB DV+ diverter valve! If it comes by this weekend, I’m going to be busy installing it plus an oil change and installing new wheels/tires.

A long-reach hex set like this one helps a lot (even though you'll only need one of them)! https://www.harborfreight.com/7-pc-38-in-drive-metric-long-reach-hex-bit-socket-set-67890.html

Or just a 1/4” extender with a proper hex socket.

Yeah, I didn't have any fancy tools...and while taking the third bolt out, my kids heard words they'd never heard of before...I saw it as a valuable life lesson to ensure they use the correct tools for the job.

Generally, I use extenders, but I found that there wasn't enough clearance for the head of a "normal" hex socket on at least one of the bolts. It can work, but you'd need to angle it and that made me uncomfortable. $14 bucks was well worth it to me.

Yeah, I did this with the passenger wheel still on the car, and am quite content that my kids were fully grown and gone, so that they could not hear words that would make the proverbial sailor blush, in reference to that bolt.

 

[KnockOff]

I did it from the bottom with the passenger tire still on. Took me about 20 minutes with a jack and stands.

The car will definitely be on jacks and with wheels off with all that stuff coming. Probably the best time to give it a go.

Will the New brake kit Fit under Stock OEM Wheels without spacers?

 

[Rocketst]

Ron, would you be willing to make us a svt replica rear brake kit with a 4 piston caliper and matching rotors? There's so few matching rear caliper and rotor sets.. I'm honestly waiting on one other than willwood to come out to buy an upgrade. I hear willwood doesn't come with dust boots and their pistons lock up due to brake dust getting caked in them. Plus I think they look cheap.

hey guys
caliper piston size on our BBK is 38mm
and the calipers are made by the same company that makes other BBK options on our site
rotor replacements will be available through whoosh and brake pad size is fairly common (P41S)
there are a few people that already took a leap of faith on them
I'll have some 330mm in Yellow, 285mm in silver with red logo and 300mm in black with white logo here very soon
custom colors are also available (within reason) upon request

38mm pistons is good news. For anyone who cares, looking at the 285mm rotor size option (since that what I care about) that puts clamping force within 1% of OEM calipers (good news!) and brake torque within 2% of OEM (since rotor is slightly larger). This means with the SVT rear rotors you can get a nice brake balance since you don't add a ton of front bias like some other kits.

I am still a bit curious as to the manufacturer though

Can you give us ballpark pricing on replacement rotors (complete and friction material only?). Would you say it will be easy to get replacement parts for rebuilds (pistons, seals, stainless hard lines, etc)?

Do the calipers have dust boots?

Can you link an example of a P41S brake pad (couldn't find anything with a quick google search)? I'd like to compare friction surface to OEM as well as pad options.

Are the caliper brackets aluminum or steel alloy?

Sorry for all the questions; I am excited. Thanks!!!

Edit: Any chance for a fitment template in the near future? If not, for a discount, I can CAD model them after fitment and create a template for you (hehe lol).

right around $400 for replacement discs slotted or drilled
replacement parts are no problem
yes the calipers have dust boots
the brake pad can be looked up using D46 as the size
brackets are 6065 aluminum

no templates available at this time
