Im entering week two with the brakes. Theyre still holding together and stopping well. The brake sound seems to have disappeared.
Overall Im very satisfied. Im still a little iffy on the spacing but we'll cross that bridge one I get the front wheels on.
i'm a little concerened with spacing because my rears are 17X7.5, +35 offset. Sundown, you think that will fit ok?
Well if you like how mine fit youll like how yours fit Id imagine. I wish I was a little lower to be honest but I did cut a tire the other day and Im only on a Sportline drop.

FYI guys, I got the redesign done, and I'm just waiting on a quote, plus a prototype that I can fit and check. As soon as I have it, I'll let you know. It's not going to be quite as big as I initially thought, and I'm doing it in a way that should keep the extra machining to a minimum, so hopefully the price for these won't be that much more. However, the original design will still be available for guys who either don't care about the spacing, or want the thicker brackets to increase wheel spacing. You'll have the option.
Ooooohhhhh, options, yes I dig that.^

^^ I'm redesigning to reduce the wheel spacing on it, per the request of many in this thread.
As for the spare, Brian is going to check tonight, as he forgot to before. I no longer have a 5x100 spare, so I wasn't able to check it out myself.
5/8" would be perfect for my setup, I went ahead and added the size

Any update on the spare? WANT THIS KIT OUT ALREADY!!!
also, any chance you could check if 14 steelies fit on it?

and maybe 7 inch steelies? lol.
But to be honest... I want to see the redesign... and once my car is fixed... then I might splurge for these bad boys, lol.
I will hopefully have one of the redesigned brackets in my hands any day now. As soon as I do, I'll test fit it, post pics, and let you know what the pricing will be.
We should be able to get this GP rolling very soon.
Stay tuned!
Sad that I missed out on these last time. (money issues) I am gonna watch this thread and hope nothing comes up this time around.
I miss my Cavalier, even if it made 100 hp on a cold day and had more suspension then it deserved.

Ok guys, Im just throwing this out there. I want a set of these, but right now I have the SSBC rears.
I will trade somebody straight up if they pay for shipping. I require the parking brake bracket and would prefer the wider spacer. PM me if you wanna do this.
Not yet. I need to call the shop today. I haven't talked to him much because both of us have been very busy. I'll see if he made the redesign prototype for me yet. If not, I'll prod him a bit.

My factory 14s would not clear. The face hits the caliper.
Ill get the spare on guys. As long as the weather holds Ill try it tomorrow morning. Im free of work for a few days since hours got cut.

Brain, any chance of clearancing the caliper? or are we talking like 1/4" or so?
