Thread: Big Brakes on a not-so-big Budget? YEP

  1. #346
    And many of these brands guys are simply 'branded' items form Centric who is the true importer. And ultimately the producer of them. Centric sells under a variety of labels. Anyone who think that there are truly 6-10 companies "making rotors" is foolish. On the other hand...probably 10-15 of them making them look pretty and boxing them up for consumption by the public! lol

    Your one stop...for Wilwood brakes.

    I don't think any of the 20 bracket buyers have even installed this yet.

    Nope. And won't until next spring, unfortunately.

    Wait for after this upcoming weekend for Logizyme's review. He should be installing his brakes today or tomorrow, then autocrossing his Marauder on Sunday

    Very shiney! Looks good, I'll be installing tomorrow. I'll take some pics and try to write up an install guide.

    Its like this:

    Open up the bore on the GT500 rotor, grind spindle until bracket clears, bolt everything on.

    Done.

    For some of us shade tree mechanics, can you post a pic of the area of the rotor that needs to be opened up? I guess if I was in the process of installing this setup it would be more clear. Don't flame me too bad.
