Re: Who makes bigger front discs?

All right guys..... Who's up for CrBBFT..... Cheap(er) Big Brakes For Trucks?

I've seen the billet hubs that are available & seem to remember one that was offered for late Impalas. It's possible they required a wheel pattern change but maybe they were still 5x5. Of course, as was mentioned one could always machine a 1pc. rotor for the hub & use a slip on rotor/hat.

Maybe we would need to search for something offered on the last of the full size caddys (post 2000, not pre-). Anyone remember any type of full size Caddy using PBR calipers w/the hub & hat configuration?

Like I said, I like the looks of the SSBC set-up over the Baer, but 'morphing' the 2 together (SSBC's 1pc. rotor w/the PBR caliper) would work for me. The trick would be to find the source for the SSBC rotor . If we could do that, there wouldn't be a need for the hubs.

This thread is generating some good input! Thanks everyone.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Reckon how much the rotor is from ssbc? My buddy might be a dealer for them but I will have to ask. I would think you could buy just the rotors since they wear out but I am sure they are high dollar.
