... I'm interested! This looks bad @ss

 

Hahahaha just got that

 

I am very interested in this brake kit my mom lives on a very steep hill and every time I go visit her I hate making my e-brake go all the way to the limit just to make sure my box doesn’t roll down the hill hopefully with this kit I wont have to do that anymore I hate making my e-brake go all the way to the limit I like my e-brake to stay low.

 

well hate to break it to ya but in e-brake / parking brake situations drums hold better than discs do.

 

hahah about time.

 

Ok then the drums stay But then again I do have that lead foot problem I guess I wont see my mom as much and enjoy the rear disc brakes instead:

 

Update! I have one more machine shop quoting the parts. Then I can figure out what the final kit price will be and when they will be available. I also need to know if you all are willing to modify your rear hubs, or if you would like modded hubs included in another kit price as a core charge for the stock ones to get shipped back to me. The the core would be returned, when the stock hubs are in hand and checked. I may start a list on who is wanting this conversion. As soon as I get the final pricing I will start collecting deposits for the first run, which will be about 20 conversions, as it looks from the emails, an PM's I've been getting. I also think I have the rusting issue figured out. I'm trying to get a couple local sign shops to supply me with masking dounuts, that will cover the pad surface of the rotor on both sides so they can be painted before installing them. This will make it alot easier than tryin to mask it by hand. I'm still tryin to get that done, so thats not 100% yet! So as of right now, I just wait for the last quote and I'll keep you all posted with any more info I have!

 

Rock on, this just keeps moving along. I can't wait for a price, so I can figure out what parts I need to sell to get them LOL

Modify Hubs? I thought there was a bolt-on bracket/hub spacer, right?

 

Yes, earlier in this post I asked if you all would rather modify the wheel hub, or the rotor. Most said the wheel hub they could do at home. So the conversion was made on modified hubs. Not a huge mod, but still has to be done. I'll see if I can find some pictures of what I'm talking about!

 

Oh yeah, the corners need to be clearanced, right? I was thinking about something completely different (and much more difficult)

 

Yes, thats what I was talking about.

 

I have 18'' rims they wouldnt pose a problem with spacing and what not would it.....

 

I'm running 17 X 7 with a 38mm backspace and it clears fine. I've also mounted up the stock 15" steelies, and have had no problems with those either.

 

very excited, want to do this swap asap, at least I would mod my hubs myself. CAN'T WAIT!

 

great news lol

 

this really happening..excellent!!!!!!!!!

 

i have a question ? do you have to make any modification to the brake booster e.i master cylinder??????

 

No! No mods to the booster/master cylinder.

Man, these quotes seam like they are taking as long as the conversion. NOT! But anyways, I'm almost done with the quotes. I did order some new flexlines for the kit, because the ones I put on were some I bought for the first caliper and they are way to long and they bind up. It looks like I will be sending rotor masks with the kits so the hat and un-used portion of the rotor can be painted before installing them. This will eliminate having to hand mask everything. All you have to do is clean the rotor of dust, grease and or oil. Apply the mask dounuts on the rotors inside and outside and Paint! Remove the mask and have a rust free rotor when the install is done! This is something I should have done before I installed mine, but wasn't thinking about it when I did it. As soon as I get a final price worked up, I will let you all know! Looks to be under $800.00. But should know for sure in a few days.

 

awsome !!!!=)
