Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Is that spindle modification something that we will be able to do on our own, or will we have to buy the spindles from them? Can you get some pics of how that bracket bolts to the spindle?

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
So what does this "kit" come with? The hubs and bracket? I assume the rotor and caliper/pads are off the shelf type stuff?
BTW... THANK YOU for doing this for us. Maybe they should be called SCOTI brakes!

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Sweet! Any idea about compatibility w/ a drop spindle? Also, why the blacked-out caliper? Hiding the "K word"? Does it use the stock dust shield holes?

Yes.... the 'blackout' is to limit exposure until they wish to promote the product line themselves. They are attached to the spindle like most aftermarket kits (no need to reinvent the wheel there).

What did that 'kit' set you back if I might inquire? I would also like to know what was included in their 'kit' (what specs rotors/calipers, hub, etc....?). PM if you don't wish to announce it to the world. Quote:

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
scoti, so you are going to be buying all these aftermarket spindles and cutting off the ears?
What's the deal with the rotors studs? Are those threaded in the pic? |

Yes on the studs...... They're threaded ARP fasteners.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
I assume that these won't clear a 15" wheel correct?
That just means I'll have to wait until I get my wheels before I get the brakes, cause it's just a roller in the garage now on pos 15" stockers. |

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
This looks to me like the only things you absolutely need from this kit. The other stuff may be able to be sourced elsewhere cheaper. They even give you the option on their website of ordering as many or as few parts as you like...
