    How much do those weigh?

    About 25 pounds each. Noticeably heavier than stock. You can really blast your quads with these.

    You either have the wrong pads, wrong rotors or the wrong caliper bracket.

    Yup, rock auto sent me the wrong bracket. the left is a full inch to the bolt hole, the right is half an inch.


    Big thanks Zack, you da man! lji372 says your comment is what reminded him about it, which got me to check it out.

    time to deal with rock auto now...

    Once the bracket thing was sorted out (thanks again jerry) everything went on fine:



    Look at those wheel weights just make it!
    Dust shield was left on the back. No problems there.
    Everything was well thought out, well engineered and the clearances for everything is perfect. Thanks for the hard work guys!

    On a scale of Enterprise to Next Gen I give this mod a solid Picard.

    I tried weighing everything going on and off. These are rough numbers of me just standing on a scale holding the part:

    The stock calipers with pads and SS lines: 35 pounds
    Stock rotors: 40 pounds

    this kit:
    pads: 4.7
    brackets: 3.2
    calipers: 16
    rotors: 50
    lines: forgot. my bad.

    so the kit is 235.25 vs the stock 232.2. Heavier rotors offset by the aluminum calipers. Ymmv, it wasn't exactly a scientific test

    Btw where rock auto failed him cardone covered us.

    I fronted him the bracket and my kid powder coated it black (even though he wasn't my customer on those parts). He would have had to pay his powder coated and waited again because customer service and happy marauder owners are my goal.

    Next time maybe the fatbastid will just buy from a member.

    Damn. No way they'll fit 17s. I guess I'm on my own hunt to find calipers that have race pads available that fit 17s.

    ...or buy a set of 18s on Craigslist, I mean Mustang wheels are dirt cheap anymore...








    I just scored Jolly Roger's old, non-engraved Vette calipers. I guess I should put rotors, pads, lines, and brackets on my Christmas list...

    Not all 18" rims have the same ID. Measure first
