Is that with the spacer, and milling the knuckle? It seems like a lot of money. I half tempest to use ga axles and get the wheel bearings redrilled
Yeah let me know what I have to do?
If you are doing all that work you should have used 2000+ then you can run 2010 camaro ss/ctsv/z06 4 piston calipers and gt500 15in ceramic rotors
. Spindles are the same just different caliper mounts.

huh? honestly i didnt realize 2000+ was different but that being the case its not hard to source some and have them machined like this if i choose to do larger brakes down the road.
but really, i am only going to run the n-body brakes. they are a bit larger than the stock j-body brakes and utilize aluminum calipers. reason being because i have 15" bogart racing wheels that need to be used.

If you dont have calipers yet, I would try to get camaro dual piston calipers as they use less brake fluid and give you way better pedal.

It's the caliper everyone uses with the swap

No, brad, what I mean was it was my understanding that you use n-body rotors with f calipers

Incorrect. N-body rotors are 11" while the F-body is 12".
Sooo.... when can I buy a set????

i JUST now found this thread. I think I will crawl back under my rock until I get enough money for this. Very nice Brad, Very nice.
Roofy- when brad first had these made up I contacted Mark at O.E.M. and iirc he said he'd charge 450 or 500 to do another set and that was us supplying the knuckles and sipping them to him. I planned on trying a celica rotor and an n body caliper with this on. My car when time came around to upgrade brakes.
Brad, did you ever get the net weight reduction from this? You compared the machined spindle without the adapter and hardware, but you never posted it assembled.

How much for just the adapter plates to bolt the j body bearings to N body hubs?

^450 or 500, he machine's the knuckles and makes the adaptors........I'll still prob spend time in hopes of finding an alternative....
yea i dont think he would make just the adapter plates. the machining needs to be precise so i think he wants to keep all that in house to make sure its perfect.
and shawn, sorry man aint had a chance to weigh one yet. im assuming its still going to be close to 6 pounds though. maybe 5?
