Just a question of 'how much interest' right now, but...

What if there were an aluminum "Grand-Am" hub on the market.
It would be machined from a solid block (no welds).
Would come with bearings pre-installed, and a grease seal.
New studs, preinstalled.
The center on the outside would properly match the ID of a grand-am rotor's hub.
It would have the face of it 'stepped in' the extra thickness of the rotor.
It would come anodized in a variety of colors.

What do you feel would be a good price on something like this?

Would it be something you'd like to have?

How soon would you want it?

Is there anything else you'd like to see added/changed/deleted?

Thanks for your input!

The first thing that pops into my head is "strength". Am I gonna snap a hub In a hard corner.

I'd love to buy a pair. Kinda offset the extra weight for unsprung weight by adding heavier vented rotors. Depends on price of course and how about caliper brackets as an option?

I'll try to address questions as we go.

Strength: Not going to be a problem. They'll be made from a solid billet, it'll be heat treated material, and if you see in the drawings, there's MUCH more material than in the stock setup.

Weight: Estimated at 3lbs each BEFORE machining! They'll be far less after.

Firm cost is unknown at this point, but around the $350us mark for the pair (with bearings, studs, and seals).

Caliper brackets could be an option. They'd have to be stock units that were modified (send in your old set as 'cores' along with payment for the calipers - you get back a bolt on setup type idea - maybe even a complete package with calipers & pads too - or different option levels).

RCC sells them with their brake kits:

And I designed the ones that Street Dreams is using, although those won't work with stock knuckles:

yeah for 595 USD you get aluminum hubs and bigger brakes. I could see paying 200 canadian for them. otherwise i dont see why i would fork out close to 500 bucks canadian for aluminum hubs.

Street Dreams stuff is going to be in the $800+ range for knuckles and hubs, without a brake kit.
