[QUOTE="03'Darin, post: 16438898, member: 6164"] All about functionality and cost... Those calipers can be bought new for $170 a pair with no core charge. We made a template and had an adapter machined to fit those calipers to our spindles with a 14" GT500 rotor. All of this fits under 17" wheels (cheaper tires than 18's). We run NAPA brand rotors that are $40 a piece. You're never going to believe me when I tell you this but the current rotors probably have 40 hours on them, and they're still good. Heat cracked like normal but still good. The pads which have the 4 hour qualifying race and probably 8 hours of sundays race are still in good shape and will get us through practice and qualifying at the next race. At that point they won't be shot but won't be good enough for an 8 hour race. So they'll get put away for another practice/qualifying day. We run a Wilwood manual brake setup in the car. Dual master cylinders for the brakes with an adjustable balance bar. Now that we have the master cylinder bore sizes sorted out and the proper compound pads front and rear this car stops as good as and car in our class and even as good as most of the cars in the next fastest group. That's with us weighing 3,400 #'s I just put this same front brake setup on my 97' Cobra while we were closed for the quarantine. [ATTACH=full]1646724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1646725[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
