The stock caiper, it is more then enough with the larger rotor. Braking is cut in almost half, if the braking was any stronger you'd roll the car, ok not really but it really makes a large difference!!!! The rear brackets? The package comes with them "4 inner rings, 2 left and 2 right side support brackets, and 4 rotors".

Just to let everyone know today I upgraded my U.P.S. account so shipping will be easier for all of us. I will most likely be shipping 2 day ground instead of next day to save money, we will also most likely be shipping sometime just after Christmas if thing continue at this rate so the holidays should not slow things down for us?
Again, this is me just keeping you all updated.
Bobby

I am writing you with some updated news, I have run into my first problem. I talked with many different places, around 14 places trying to get a good deal on good rotors. I then had them all narrowed down to 5 places. (1) The first place I tried to make the final deal with started to plat some BS games with me such as adding extra money to the shipping cost and would not allow me to use someone other than there shipper. They also told me they wold be zinc coated and then later tried to add that as an extra charge, so I desided not to use them. (2) I worked out a final deal with a second place. They sent me a set of cross drilled rotors to look over. They are junk, it looked as if they took a standard rotor and just hand drilled it out to make it cross drilled, it was ruff looking. Also, even though I was told they were zinc plated it did not appear to be. I sent them back! (3) The last 3 places I have been talking to are in California, I though I was going to pay about $200 for shipping them to my location here in N.W. Indiana but due to the weight of 30 lbs. each I am looking at $552 for shipping, and that freight not UPS. UPS will only ship a package under 150 lbs. so I would have had to shipped many smaller packages and we would have been looking at close to $1000 just to get the rotors here. If I continue at the price I posted I am going to be losing money per person. I am sorry to say I can not do that. (4) I did find a local company near me late last week, they are the supplier for all the midwest Napa auto parts stores "as far as performance brake rotors go", they also deal with some other area performance shops near me. They are sending me a pair of rotors to look over and they should be here Monday, Tuesday at the latest. After I look them over and if I deside they are good enough to use they will need to order more to be made. That will take about 2 weeks I am told, they just don't have an extra 72 rotors for our order and for them to supply there other accounts. There price is more then what I was hoping to send, infact they are about $18.00 more then the others, but then again they are alot less than most. But I am a strong believer in you get what you pay for, and this warehouse has a great reputation for selling high quility high performance parts. I will again let you know what I have found after I look them over.

U.S. made, I don't really trust imported parts for american cars! I have heard guys buying replacement hoods and fenders from across seas and they just don't line up right. Really don't want to have to worry about that when it comes to brakes!
Thats also why I have had some trouble finding just what I really want to use with a good price. At first I thought I would have to settle for one or the other. But I have worked out that problem.

Here are the rotors I have made final. This picture is the rotor, but I did not take it. I do not think this rotor pictured is coated? They are US made and looked great, a pair were brought me down to me today for me to look them over. They looked great and the order should be here in 2 weeks, he said maybe 3 weeks with it getting close to Christmas but that would be a safe guess. They are coated and have the best clean cut to them! They will have a 90 day warranty on cracking and worping.
The standard rotor will look just like this one to a T other than having the holes and slots of caurse.

I gather that this is something that you're going to keep offering, for a while?
I am interested in a set (and maybe another, further down the road) with the standard rotors, but it's not going to be something I can do anytime in the next couple of months. I've put myself temporarily into debt buying some other stuff, and Christmas is coming up, too.

I am going to try to pay out to have a few extras made and then a little down the road we can try to do it again, but with a smaller order it will cost more, how much more we'll see. Again, I am just doing this as a way to help everyone and if its needed down the road I have done all the leg work and al of the shopping around so it would be easier next time around!

Ok, I have an 87 GT and already have the 12" brake hardware. I would like to know the price for a set of 88 front and rear vette rotors, that are cross drilled, slotted, zinc plated and still have the stock 5x115 bolt pattern. I plan on using HD 6000 uprights, s10 outer axles and wheel bearings, and the modded front corvair bearing hubs. Please let me know. Either PM me or Patrickmcp@hotmail.com

Just curious about your choice of drilled rotors why not use slotted instead of drilled because over time these fail and develops cracks between the holes,a few years ago the NSX had problems where the rotors exploded and tore the front ends upon the calipers clamping the rotors not trying to interfere with your orders but just pointing out a safety issue also read the lower section of this ebay ads .
Master Tuner Akimoto, I did talk to a few of the guys on Ebay selling rotors, most want to much even with a bulk order, a few other are selling really junk rotors!!!!!!!!! Most are in California or Canada which is going to cost me $400 to $600 just to have them shipped here. I found a local place that has some really nice rotors and there is no shipping, just tax on them. And they have gave me a good deal on a bulk order.

The first bulk order of rotors were ordered earlier this week and should be here in 2 weeks, well depending on the Christmas rush. When they get here the machine shop is going to start making the brackets, rings and redrilling the rotors. I am hoping that shouldn't be more or at least much more than a week. So the first order should be ready to be shipped in about 3 weeks from now. The second bulk order of rotors will be ordered in 2 or 3 weeks from now, all the brackets and rings will all be made the first time so the second wave of orders will only have to wait for the rotors to be shipped and redrilled so they should be ready a week or 2 after the first order or should I just say 4 to 5 weeks from now. Again, to be fair I am shipping them in the order I got the money from each person unless they do not have there second half. However, alot of the first orders I did get, they paid in full so they will get them in the first come first shipped order, again just to be fair. No really new big news just passing along some info. to keep you guys updated.
I am still taking orders for the second bulk order of rotors.
At this point to just be safe, please start to e-mail me at 219customs@verizon.net Bobby
