Fieroguru Performance will be closed for the remainder of 2015 and most likely 2016, so its probably better to consider it closed indefinitely.

fieroguru 13” Brake Kits for 88’s – May Moving Sale - $100 off!

These only fit the 88 fieros (rear could be used on an 88 cradle swap) - I do not offer a brake kit for the 84-87's.

This kit requires 17" and larger wheels. It will not fit on the 15's, they might fit on some 16's - but I know they won't fit on some - so 17+ is the safe range to ensure proper fitment.

I have made an offer on a house and will be moving (7 miles) between June 8th and June 30th. My inventory of 13” brake hardware kits will need boxed up and moved, so I would rather box them up and sell them vs. moving them.

10 brake kits (hardware only or full kit with rotors) will be set aside and offered at this special sale price for May.

The hardware only kits will be $250 shipped - anywhere.


Full kits with drilled/slotted/zinc coated rotors will be $540 shipped to the lower 48. Shipping a full kit to Canada is an additional $75.


The drilled/Slotted/Zinc rotors cost just under $250 for a full car set. The plain ones can be had for less $$.

My goal in developing this kit was a clean sheet approach to find the best fitting rotor for the 88’s that will maximize braking force through increasing the diameter of the rotor while keeping the rest of the brake system stock to ensure proper brake bias and parking brake function. The rotors used for my kit are from a 2008+ model year application and quite common, so this rotor will be available and fairly inexpensive for many years to come. Some of the key benefits of this kit are:
• Use of stock calipers, brake hoses and parking brake cables keeps cost to a minimum.
• Stock brake bias and parking brake function retained.
• 25% increase in brake rotor diameter for improved visual impact behind 17+” wheels.
• 29% increase in brake system mechanical advantage due to caliper being further from wheel center.
• 20% increase in rotor/pad surface area to reduce potential for brake fade.
• Available in Drilled/Slotted w/Zinc coating to minimize additional weight and improve appearance.
• No interference issues between the rotor/caliper and the front suspension a-arms when used with stock ball joints. NOTE: When installed with Rodneys 1" lowering ball joints and lowering springs, there have been reports of slight rubbing. If installing these combination of parts, it would be best to clearance the lower a-arm nose slightly to avoid any clearance issues.
• Lowest price of any 13” brake kit on the market today.


I prefer Paypal, but also accept money orders.

This must be the Fiero gods at work again because I just posted a thread asking people to show me their brake upgrades. I am super interested in a full set. Is the $540 including the $100 off?

9.5 of the 10 kits offered at the reduced price have been purchased, so I will be offering another 5 sets at the $100 off rate - all hardware is in stock ready to ship, but rotors are ordered at time of purchase.

I have already started ordering all hardware needed to do the 3rd run of this kit. The 3rd run will be 25 full car kits, just like the 2nd run.

Many thanks to all my customers for their support of my products.

Parts received, The quality looks fantastic, thanks for the help.

Joe

Mine showed up saturday they look fantastic.

Bump - 11 days left to get these kits at $100 off.

Fieroguru, Have you tried the larger disc setup with a larger booster?

I haven't tested this combo myself, but FieroMaster88 is running my 13" kit with the S10 booster so you might want to PM him to get his feedback.

Thanks for the lead.

Free bump.
Posting in the thread so I can leave feedback when I get my brakes.
Madess and I saw Paul's setup over the weekend and it is top notch. Nobody should be worried if they buy this setup.

Bump! Last week for $100 off sale and I still have several sets.

What's the cost w/o the Zinc coated rotors?

quote Originally posted by madcurl: What's the cost w/o the Zinc coated rotors?

The hardware only kits are $250 shipped.

How much was the kit with the zinc cross drilled rotors? Are they pre-drilled?

quote Originally posted by FieroGTRwideboby: How much was the kit with the zinc cross drilled rotors? Are they pre-drilled?

$540 for the complete kit with the drilled/slotted/zinc rotors. If I supply the rotors, they will be drilled with the 5 x 100 mm pattern.

Starting June 1st, the kits return to their normal price of $350 shipped for hardware only and $640 shipped on the full kit with the drilled/slotted/zinc rotors (Canada shipping is an additional $75 on the full kit).

1 1/2 days left of the sale and still have some brake kits left on the shelf.

Been experimenting with different rotor vendors and have 2 full sets of rotors in stock ready to ship (as soon as I drill them).
Here is the style of the first set:


Here is the style of the 2nd set:


Only downside to these rotors is delivery time.
Brakemotive gets me their rotors in about 3-4 days and these two vendors were 6 and 7 days from time of purchase to delivery. Granted there was a holiday in there, but it still takes longer to get them (both are from California vs. Chicago).

Got mine today and I am very happy. The only issue is don't be in a hurry to get them out and play with them. Paul has these guys packed up nice. It was in a box, in a box, rotors labeled and taped together with the backets and instructions in between (brakets and hardware were wrapped in towels and cardboard). Don't believe me? I wouldn't either... So I took pictures... Paul packs these to make it anywhere! A++

Guru, might wanna fix that link, it just directs back to the same page.

Good catch! Link has been fixed.

In the beginning, I was a little bit hesitant to order this kit, as it uses the original 88 calipers. I received it Thursday and just installed today, and I could not believe the difference. There is significant improvement in braking and looks AWSOME.

Now, I realized the spare tire will not fit. So here is a question for everyone: Which spare tire (car model and year) can I get to use with the 13" brake set up?

Thanks.

Glad you like the kit!

Here is a thread where they talk about larger spares. WCF sells one, or you can mix/match spares and tires to get one that fits.

got mine today after it was sitting at the PO for a week, stupid PO forgot to put the notice that i had a package waiting for me.
