Well it turns out I was wrong about the Z33 track rotors offset and made brackets that wouldn't work . The Evo calipers will work with the bracket on page 2-3 with Evo rotors. I'm going to sell the calipers and pads b/c I need money so if anyone is interested, pm me.

anyone know if the bracket will work on an s13? also what are people doing for the master cylinder? I was thinking of going z32 but I don't have abs so I would have a bunch of extra holes.

Okay all you loudmouths, you finally Emailed/PMed and pestered me enough to get off my ass and dig for all my notes on this from 2 years ago, problem is I moved since them and my original specs disapeard in the move, luckily I stummbled across one of the old test brackets I made and remeasured everything and updated the original diagram. Now I need to note here Im not an engineer or in the business to make or sell brake parts, so dont come crying to me if you try to copy a set of these on your own and something falls off your car, Im simply passing along some info on what worked for me
These measurments should be a good stating point, honestly I cant remember if this bracket was the EXACT one that I made that fit the best, luckily these are so easy to make that if you get a metal shop to cut you a dozen legnths of bar stock you should be able to measure/drill 6 sets of these in an afternoon. One more point on these I couldnt realy show in the diagram, when you bolt this bracket to the Brembo caliper you will have to grind down the top edge of the bracket a bit and cut two small notches where you see in the pic, this is to clear a couple ribs cast into the caliper, you will see once you get to it, have a die grinder or bench grinder handy. Anyways sorry for the late follow up, I sold the S14 last year and have moved onto bigger and better wastes of my money/time BTW, now that I got you all hot on finding a set of used brembos for under 1K Im going to drop this on you. You can buy Z06 billet 6-piston calipers BRAND NEW FROM GM FOR $200 EACH!!!! and it looks like it has the same bolt spacing as the brembos, haha no Im not going make brackets for these for you guys, but it would be pretty hot to see someone do it Last edited by Krinkov; 02-28-2007 at 02:27 PM.. |

redrill the rotors and make a similar bracket. it would be no harder than any other swap listed. the only problem might be the center bore, that would require a lathe. i still don't believe the calipers are that cheap. what about rotors?
the question is, is it worth it? |
