Forgot to add myself for an ebrake bracket. I'm cool with the original design, but if you resize things that's fine too, I'm in either way.
Are you still shooting for mid-late April to run the GP? I'll be out of the country the first week and a half of April, just don't want to miss the GP

Thanks. Ive been working on some fitment lately.
I think the noise is just new brakes. It seems to be getting better. I think it stops better with the rear disk. Its like it doesnt start fading as fsst. Probably because the rotors are heat soaking as fast as the drums.

lol why didnt this bracket come out BEFORE?!!?!?!?
now i gotta buy this one instead of using jeff's because i already own a brand new set of baer decelarotors for the neon swap hahahaha
but really, no offence to jeff but this one is better. its aluminum for one so its lighter, it allows the use of a readily available rotor you can simply bolt right on instead of having to re-drill AND its a bit larger.
count me @!#$ IN.

Come join us over on the Olds Quad 4 and Twin Cam Facebook group!
The only thing I really like about this over jeffs is the larger rotors.
Told ya it was worth the look!

I'm kinda indifferent about that. His brackets weren't exactly a ton, and drilling isn't a big deal. Now someone has to make a bracket for srt4 front brake swap, so this can be balanced out.

This wouldn't be hard if people are interested. However, I've got other things brewing right now for fronts. They just got slowed up a bit by this project.

Would the fronts that you're working on fit under stock 16's?
^^ Potentially. There will actually be a few options once I get it done. Watch the big brake question thread. I will post there.
Hmm we must speak more Shawn.
Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.
You know where to find me.
lol yup I'll be texting you randomly thru the day.

Brian's are actually 5/8", not 1/2". In order to do less, the bracket needs to have a pocket for the axle plate to fit into, because the adapter can not be safely made any thinner. In order to have enough material to recess the axle plate, the adapter needs to have a larger overall diameter. I'll get the redesign done and get a quote on it hopefully over the weekend. My only concern with this is that it's going to get significantly more expensive due to the increased size of the stock and increased machining needed, but I'll see what I can do to keep that down.
5/8 Works for me also, I got 1/2 eyeballing it from the pics....
But what I'm saying is with or without redesign, I'm in like flynn.
To those that are against or for jeffies over Quick's, both are great IMO, my wifey will be running Jeffie's setup on her cavfire since I'm getting these for my 03 cavy.
I'll do some testing of both, braking distance form low and high speed, opinions on fade, pedal feel, etc with both side by side at some point. A bit down the road obviously, funding 2 rear brake swaps is gonna bust me if I do it at once.
Not to argue the point of which is better, but to compare and contrast exactly how much more or less braking you get with neon rotors versus Saturn's.
I'll do the redesign, but either version will be available. It won't be a problem to do a run of each.
As for performance, aside from what I suspect is a wider variety of performance rotors available for the SRT-4, I doubt there will be a noticable difference between the two swaps. The main thing this gains is a bolt-on rotor. You're still using the same caliper, with the same contact patch on the pads, and the diameter increase isn't significant enough to impact performance much.
Jeff's swap is a great option. This is merely another.
Off topic but what ever happened to using the Corvette calipers and rotors like the Baer kits were back in like 05 06. I know the rotors had to be redrilled but there is probably a readily available rotor that would work.
"Oil Leak ? What oil Leak ? Oh, Thats Just The Sweat From All The HorsePower!!"
whats the thinnest these can be made? Wheel still has to tuck and cant rub the outer fender. 1/2-5/8 is a little much, i dont like mud flaps
And is there an option for steel so this can happen?
Spencer, I can price these out with steel, but they will be considerably more expensive, unless enough people wanted them that I could have the main shape of them cut on a laser or water jet, then just machine the offsets. If they were to be done 100% machined, they would be a lot more than the aluminum, because the machining is more time consuming, and uses up bits relatively quickly. I believe the thinnest feasible for the aluminum will be 3/8", but I'm going to work on that tonight if possible.
