I have a 17X7.5 wheel, +35 offset.

Will the 3/8" one be ok? I need it to not rub for racing.

OK guys, before I run a full GP, I'm looking for 2 guinea pigs for the new design. PM me or email me if interested. I'll give a discount, but keep in mind this is a beta test of sorts. I have no vehicle with which to test these for myself. Although I have run some simulated testing on the computer, nothing beats a real-world testing. Once a couple of people have installed and driven on these (I would prefer someone to put them through a bit of abuse), I will open up the GP to all.

Any chance of starting up the GP for at least the 5/8 ones since this was suppose to be available a while ago?

I can start the GP if there are enough people who want the 5/8" sets.

Who wants the thicker ones? Please list youselves.

Give me a few days to get it posted up.

Absolutely. Shipping would obviously be a bit more (I think about $15, but I have to check), but I have no problem shipping there.



Update time:

Finally got the whole thing test fit. Everything lines up great. I'm making a very slight tweak to the design in the name of strength, but otherwise, it's done.

Here are a couple of shots assembled. I'm making a set over the next few days, and it will be put through the paces.

Also, I got my hands on a donut spare, and it does NOT clear the caliper. I'm thinking an SRT-4 spare might, so I'm going to see if I can get my hands on one to try it out.
Stay tuned for updates, and for the GP to start running (I will start making the full thickness (5/8") ones available immediately, as I know how they work.

GP is up: http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=sales&i=40921&t=40921

I will let everyone know as soon as the 3/8" brackets are officially available. I'm running a test set which will be going on Dave's car. Once he has given the input, and I'm satisfied with the real-world test, I'll start officially taking the orders. For now, the 5/8" ones are available.

So 03+ will need to swap to 95-02 ebrake cables to make this work? The ebrake brackets you offer won't work with the 03+ cables? If so, what's the difference in the 03+ cables? just longer?
Just making sure I'm reading everything right.

The e-brake bracket I offer is just a replication of the factory one, because a lot of calipers don't come with them. I don't have access to an 03-05 to compare, but making a bracket for them may be possiblehopefully someone who knows the exact difference will chime in and give the exact details.

I was able to use the Saturn swap with my 03+ brake cables and I detailed it in my Saturn Swap thread. Its fairly simple, just involves relocating the brackets from the caliper to the trailing arm.

I have these for my winter rims....
I can not answer this. I know that Brian tried his with a set of 15's and they cleared, but not all rims are the same.
