which bracket are you making? I ask because in that other thread the "fieroaddiction style" bracket Fieroguru shows was my design. Or at least that's my CAD drawing and I just guessed on those dimensions. I was going to have my buddy make a set for me and see how they fit and adjust the drawing/bracket from there. He hasn't made them yet so i don't know if they will work.

This is my original thread where that CAD drawing came from;

Got the brackets installed and they work great.I have awsome braking power now. I will get some pictures up of the install soon. The only problem is price . You are looking at 250$ for 4 brackets or if I order 5 sets at a time I can get them for 200$ a set. I have never delt with this shop before and did not realize that they was so expensive. My main shop that I normally go to has not had time to make a set yet, But I know they will not be that expensive. Only thing is he is very slow at getting things done. So if you are not in a hurry I could get them cheaper. thanks Lonnie

any way these could be adapted to use 88 calipers on and 87? i know someone used to mak a kit for this but no more.
i was thinking of trying 88 calipers on an 87 or earlier with lebaron rotors (no drilling the holes in the rotors and no hubcentric rings needed).
just a thought and a bump.

Do these include the hub centric rings? If not, do you think you could get them made up as well?

Thanks,

That price seems ALLOT more appealing!

Question: why not make the brackets for the 13" Viper rotors? Seems like the Viper rotors have the proper (or better) off-set and do not interfere w/ the lower A-Arm...

Bump for pixs
and if they are not included you can get them from summitt or jeggs, not a big deal.

Just a few questions for the heck of it.

What year rotors do I look for?

And what is the smallest dia wheel that can be used with everything put together? I take it the 15" 88 lace wheels will no longer fit with these?

Thanks again for having them made!

Your telling me!

I just bought new slotted/drilled/vented stock rotors for my 88gt
Wonder if my 500mile rotors have any value, I would love to go larger to fill my 17" wheel better

BTW, I searched ebay for 88-94 vette rotors, all the ones they had pictures of look thicker then the ones pictured above...

I am using 18 inch wheels. I would not go smaller than a 17 inch wheel. 16 inch wheels would fit ,but it would be a tight fit.
