Nolan, yours must have ended up on the rubber band-powered plane. I just received a phone call from my wife, letting me know that our brackets arrived today. 5 days in transit, including a weekend.

Thanks Bob!

WOW !!!!!!! That was really quick! Must have been a fire under someone's but, or the border patrol was on the look-out for those dastardly brake brackets.

Yup, it always seems to be the one I get However, Ontario is a little closer to PA than Calgary is.

You forgot about the dog-sled team they needed to finish the end of the trip!

twfcars........any luck yet?

RJblaze, I still havent received my brackets. When did you send them again? Thanks Tommy

Tom,
I am soooooooo sorry!!!! I thought I had sent all the sets out and with the moving of stuff due to my wife's grandmother passing away and getting ready for my much-needed vacation, I over-looked your set. It was sent out this morning 2-3 day priority....you should get them by wednesday or thursday. Again, my sincere apologies for this! I feel like such a jerk. Please accept my apology.

Soooo.... Anyone install a 5* set yet? I thought I had a set with my car, but turned out to be the old (old) style brackets with the hockey-stick E-brake bracket. I'm in for a set of these, just need to figure out if the 5* ones work out as suspected...

I do believe that someone had posted something at the end of Will's original thread about this. If I remember correctly, there was still a small issue with trimming the inboard pad and something about the wear indicator.
That's all I can remember.

RJBlaze, It is ok man I understand. i am sorry to heard about your wife's grandmother. If it wasnt for you we would still be waiting on someone else to make us a set. Take all the time you need my friend! I greatly appreciate it and appalud your generosity.

Sincerely, Tommy

RJBlaze I received mine today. A+ for you my friend for the excellent service!

If you check the quote above, it LOOKS like we have our requests to bring us to the minimum 10-set order.
There are several (those with ?) that I have not gotten a PM from stating their full commitment to order and which rear offset bracket (5 or 10 degree) they want. I will not / cannot place the order without this full commitment and rear bracket choice. Once I have a full 10 people committed, I will begin requesting payments (PayPal best - DON'T SEND YET PLEASE!) and will place the order after all payments are received. I have done this for the other three orders to ensure someone does not leave me with extra sets at the last minute (sorry, I can't afford to be out this money) and everything has gone quite smoothly without any complaints. I hope you all understand my concerns.
Thanks

Bob

whats the diff 5* 10* ?

quote Originally posted by slinger: whats the diff 5* 10* ?

Look for a post from Will, near the bottom of page 6 of this thread. I strongly encourage you to read the whole thread, actually. This is a group buy thread--Will's original is where all the tech goodies are.

if it helps to get the ball rolling i will take two sets. if some one steps up at the last min. they can have it if not i will take two sets i can always jut get two of every thing and make a kit to sell later


I dont know if this is covered but i know the caddy setup up you can use the front for the rears but can you put the rears on he front? if i have to have one it would be nice to have a use for it. this fiero will be drag car and i think that would still get me to pass inspection.

chrisGTP......I am a little confused.....rears on front?......front on rears?......are you talking calipers, brackets, or rotors?

I would also direct you to Will's original thread as posted above and many times in this thread.

sorry i was talking about the calipers if i put the rears (the ones with the ebreak) i could use it as a line lock for burn outs

Just a bump for the commitment of the last five people...I really need to know which sets (5 or 10 degree) you want.
I edited the quote to contain the newest commitments.

edit again: I will PM you shortly with my decision as to 5 or 10, and commitment to buy.

OK......7 sets confirmed, just need to hear from Torquewench, fierodriver (Wudman), tony (? from e-mail), and chuck 278.

BTW, to clear something up. The complete 4 piece sets are $92.00 / set set shipped within the USA. If you are from outside the USA, please contact me for shipping.

Sweet....

I had the price wrong, but I'm still not complaining. Still count me in at $92. Not a problem. Let me know when you need us to start sending the money.

Darren

ok my money is sent i only need the one set i was just helping everyone else out with the extra one

Bob, you have a PM.

money sent.

i can feel the improved braking already.

Also, here is a quick breakdown of the stuff people will need for the conversion. Another forum member passed this on to me, I pretty much just updated the prices; a lot stayed the same, some stuff went up. Also you can find hawk pads and what not for the brake pads. Honestly, this is going to be such a great improvement over the stock system, that I am not inclined to go crazy on brake pads. i am not used to a big brake system w/o ABS, so i will slide myself gently into it.

edit: nothing ever lines up on the forum. i spent 30minutes making it pretty and it still looked like crap, haha. anyhow i have the breakdown with part numbers and stores, if anybody wants it. total including these brackets is something like $455 before tax. not too shabby considering the price of your average brake kit.

[This message has been edited by JMunilla87GT (edited 08-28-2007).]

chrisGTP......Paypal received

Lambo.....PM sent back

JMunilla......Paypal received

Here are some Cadillac calipers I have for sale. These may be of use to you 11.25" brake upgrade folks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...em=200146502307&rd=1

[This message has been edited by AnimalGT (edited 08-28-2007).]

Dang I just transferred $150 out of my Paypal account to my bank account. LOL Should have just left it in there. I knew I was forgetting something. Ah well, $ sent! I put a note in with my work address if shipping by UPS / FedEx.. USPS I can pick up a package easily, but UPS / FedEx are like 20 miles away and closed after work.. Can't wait!

still working on making this page 7

keep trying! LOL

That list is thanx to JMunilla87GT, not me. Hope I am not stepping on any toes by posting it.

Really just trying to stretch to that page 7...

Bob

I sent the PM for the 5 degree brackets. I wanted to get all the parts modeled in Solidworks to see if I could eliminate the pad trimming then have some cut on the waterjet at work. Well I just found out there is 25 or 26 hours s day scheduled for the waterjet. Obviously I will not be getting any personal projects in there anytime soon. I have had the rotors and pads and modified a spare set of fiero rotors several years ago so I may as well just by a set.
