I'm still waiting for someone just to make them. - Jason



Jason probably thinks we've let him down. We're preparing to machine up brackets and centering rings and make them available. Jason has agreed to help us test fit the designs till we get them right.

We'll make them available in "sets", and you'll be able to get Fronts and Rears separate.

We've had a bit of a delay since we've had a mill down, and have been swamped at the start of the year. I think now we're just a couple of weeks away from doing the first prototype pieces.

Hang in there guys.

Hello,

I am trying to install the rear rotors but it is touching as you can see at the photo.





Is this the right rotor? From what I see in the photos the rotor should have a cone and not a cylinder shape like mine. Does anyone has a port number please?

thanks

Rear Rotor is wrong. It should be WITHOUT heavy duty brakes.
Kostarossa FEB 28, 06:48 AM
Can you please supply me with the right part number. I am in Greece and there is none in stock here to try them out.

thx

A bump for you.

I have an '88 GT.

I know that the 88s are not exactly the same as the '84-87s. Could some one tell me that the differences are between the '88 and the '84-'87 Fieros with regards to the brakes? I have a nice set of forged 16" wheel, (that I want to keep) on the car.
I would really like to put a set of 12" C5 rotors & calipers up front and a set of 12" C4 calipers and rotors on the back. I don't know if this is possible or if it has been done before. Any information or assistance on putting 12" vette brakes on an '88 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

~~Bob
