Re: How much should a custom brake kit cost...
I mean I know those will go on our hubs... I guess the thing I was wondering (which I don't know forsure, and therefore will question) is if the offset from the pads is accurate... I think you know that I mean there, but for anyone who doesn't I'm talking about the inner and outter pads. My questioning is if the rotor sits perfectly in the middle of the caliper... THEN it is just a question of if the brake pads are contacting the rotor where they are meant to contact at... (ie. not too far out and chewing on the edges of the rotor or too far in)... I don't know, it's hard to describe exactly without pictures to assist me... Anyway, I guess I'll just wait and see if it works since I am pretty broke and won't be doing this anytime soon...

Re: How much should a custom brake kit cost...
These are Sti brembo calipers and rotors bolted to an SVX hub... Yes they align perfectly in the sense of offset Tom |

Re: How much should a custom brake kit cost...
So we need to simply move that caliper in 1/2" towards the hub center.....

The wilwoods are 2-piece... Caliper and Bracket are seperate. So a new bracket that will allow the caliper to sit ~.5" toward the hub center= WIN! Tom (wishes he had $ to spend on new brakes) |

1pc vs 2pc.... why does that matter?

Re: How much should a custom brake kit cost...
1 piece means that the caliper and the mounting points are all on unit... If it need to be pushed off the hub that would be possible with an extra bracket. But since it needs to come in, the whole assembly would need to be modified. Since the Wilwoods are 2 piece... You can scrap that bracket they give you and use a custom one you have machined... Thus solving the fitment issue

Re: How much should a custom brake kit cost...
OK.... Why not use the kit Dayle sells though? Would the option you are looking at cost less than $2200?
