Brake kit question

[Rogue_Wulff]

I know you had a Mark II brake kit that used the 4 piston calipers, and new hubs that you made, along with an off the shelf Brembo rotor. All this and the ability to retain the 4x110 bolt pattern.
I can't seem to find any info about this kit on the website. Is it still available? Pricing info?

We do offer the MarkII kit. We do not stock it we only run them with GB. If you can drum up some interest we will certainly open a GB for them.

What's the pricing like when you do run a GB on them? And the number of sales that need to reached, before they can be had?

FYI, SCCA autox Street Prepared rules recently started allowing for brake swaps, provided the rotors are same/larger diameter, and calipers have same/greater number of pistons, and a funtional park brake is retained.

Any chance of a rear kit that will retain the 4x110?

Wow those are neat rules. Guess it keeps some from running WAY less brake to cut down on unsprung and rotating weight. I know that's what I would have tried if they had missed the re-write

This was the post from the last GB. Only change would be the pricing. Material prices have changed a bit since then. We can go with $424.99 and $399.00 price points this time.

Fair pricing. Not quite in my budget at this time. Perhaps down the road.



Yeah, they used forward thinking when adding the brake upgrade allowances. Previously, the only brake swaps allowed were drum to disc, and then the rotors had to have same/larger OD than the drums.
This rule change is only about 1 year old, but most didn't see it existed until the 2009 rulebook was published.
