At the request of some of the member I have made custom caliper brackets that will allow you to create your own big brake package. This setup uses porsche/brembo monoblock calipers with 04 subaru sti rotors for an inexpensive option in the brake upgrade department.

What I have to sell are the brackets including all hardware needed. here are some pics of what you get.

I will provide instructions as well as torque specs for everything. The other parts you will need are porsche/brembo monoblock calipers. The calipers to use are from the 98-up 911 carrera front calipers, or from the 2000-up boxster s front calipers. The porsche part number for those calipers are 996.351.425 and 996.351.426. The brake rotors that work with this are from the subaru wrx sti, these are 326x30mm. specifically you would want the rotors from 2004 as this year they were 5x100 bolt pattern, you can get any other year up to current you would just have to drill the 5x100 bolt pattern into them. I will also provide you with the correct hub ring to properly center the subaru rotor in the tc hub.

EDIT You will also need to get the braided lines from stoptech. ANY BRAIDED LINE FOR THE TC WILL WORK.

here is a link to the thread that details more info and pics.

I currently have 3 sets ready to go that use the sti rotor and 1 test set that would use a bmw rotor that is a little smaller which would work if you want to go with smaller 16" wheels. I will sell these first sets on a first come basis but can always make more sets if requested.

Price i am looking at 175 dollars shipped anywhere.
pm me or email gt.four.tc@gmail.com if intersted

 

Bump!

 

I very much want to purchase these buy my eBay auctions are not moving at all... Quite sad indeed.

 

yeah ebay is a tricky place sometimes, let me know when you want a set, as the ones i have are not flying of the shelf. Its all good though.

 

I might buy a set in a week or two if you still have them.

Any way to do a rear set up?

 

I am sure i will still have some in two weeks, also for the rear it is possible to do the same but it becomes more difficult due to the parking brake and in trying to find a rear caliper with smaller pistons so you dont have too much rear brake. The smallest piston sizes for the porsche brembos is 28/30 mm compare this to the stock tc of 35mm .

This would increase your rear brake torque by at least 40 percent way more than you need and most likely dangerous. One interesting and possible bolt on brembo caliper is the rear calipers from a lexus IS-F They are two 36mm piston calipers. you would of course still need to deal with a rotor that can maintain the parking brake and be in the correct position for the caliper. So basically it gets expensive real fast.

 

Wilwood has a rear brake setup for the tC already and it doesn't work right from what I have read. There is no way to keep balance with the additional rears, even the Powerslot using oem calipers was pushing it

 

Just updating, If anyone wants to do a 315mm big brake which you can fit under 17" wheels for sure and some 16" wheels, I can sell them the brackets and rotors for 250 shipped

 

i would say rear BBK is almost just a waist of money although i understand you might want it to all look and have the same brakes all around

 

bump price drop, if anyone wants to try these out 125 shipped,

 

bump

 

Just waiting for my tax refund.

 

sounds as they are ready to go

 

125 shipped for the brackets and rotors!?

 

125 is for the brackets and hardware, and centering rings. I have a set of the bwm rotors i can sell someone with brackets for 250 shipped sorry for the confusion.

 

well everyone i just received some metal work in the mail that i had this guy do and all i can say is WOW, he does awesome work!
he kept me posted every day with pics on what he was doing but it only took like a week and once i sent him payment i received the package in 2 days! incredible as its hard to find people like this these days

no reason to be skeptical here

 

I just emailed you. I have a 08 scion xb and a set of 996TT calipers. Would these work? What would I need for rotors since I am 5x114

 

Where are yall getting cheap porsche calipers? I can't find them for less than 400 a piece; which is what has stalled me from purchasing these now that I have the money for them.

 

ebay will have some from time to time price varries form 200-600 a set. other than that go to car-part.com I bought a mock-up set for 300 shipped, which if you want I will sell them to you for that same price shipped.

 

here are some sets on ebay right now as well
