    Wanted: 15" Rotors and calipers for my Marauder

    Are there any replacement front rotor/caliper combos that a 15" rim will clear to fit the Marauder? I need to find a set.

    Ok, then time to try thinking outside the box Todd!

    I should get you in touch with my Lightning guys....you all want performance brakes inside a 15" wheel. Just doesn't really work.

    You'd be limited to about 11.75" of rotor and calipers with a requirement for more piston area to make up for the lack of rotor. Net result is a soft pedal and smaller caliper than a vehicle like this really needs.

    If you're willing to accept a loss of brake performance in some manner and some loss of feel and response then I'd say go for it. The net gains are going to be weight reduction and that's about it.

    Ok, now we're getting somewhere! This is for drag racing so I will have some shutdown area and it's not like I'm removing the rear brakes. Over 150mph and I have to have a chute anyway...

    So, what do you have that fits?

    Actually..not a thing. If you want to commission a custom build of some sort perhaps we can work out something but not without some more r&d and a deposit. I'm not even certain we can fit such parts within the spindle mounts.

    That car just keeps getting better and better.

    The suspense is high. We have pics and videos as a tease.

    Please tell us how she runs at the track.

    A video of when you do the burn out showing a Marauder with the widest rear wheels in the world would be awesome!
