New Brakes!!

[CompOrangeSN95]

Just got a set of brembo's off of an 08 GT500, looks like I'm going to need some wheel spacers if I want them to fit behind my 17" cobra R wheels.
something tells me going from the stock 10.8" rotor and single piston caliper to 14" rotors and 4 piston brembos should bring it to a hault a lot faster.
I'll post pictures of them on the car as soon as i get them mounted, may take me a few weeks, I need to make brackets to mount the new calipers

good luck

That is beast. It already is a night and day difference from what I heard with the twin piston calipers. I can't even imagine 4 piston.

yeah, I plan on taking the 10.8's from the front and moving them to the back, and then putting a brake bias controller in it. Should be a fun project.

X2.. The factory rear calipers on our cars have an internal parking brake. If you switched the fronts to the rears, you could always
carry around a few bricks to chalk your wheels... :dontknow:

It is strictly a track car, I don't even have it registered or insured, I hadn't thought about the parking brake untill you mentioned it, but I won't be using it any way haha

kick ass, thanks for the link, I'm hoping to make the brackets myself, but if that fails i'll just bite the bullet and buy this kit

Javi beat me to it, I plan on using their Cobra brake kit on the 67. Good luck man!

Nice man Can't wait to see it. It's going to be a tight fit on 17's i think. Have you seen the new 16" brake upgrade stillen has for the new Camaro

haha that just might have to happen

 

[Javi]

youd might be limited on wheels due to the off set nor use spacers :dontknow:

honestly, I work in a machine shop, Im going to buy a set of studs and make myself a set of spacers, I test fit the brakes in my wheel and it clears, but just barely, any deflection on the track and i'm screwed, 1" spacers should take care of the problem.
