Brackets will be CNC 7075 aircraft aluminum. | | | 04-10-2012, 11:59 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: branford, CT Posts: 89 | Also working on a ti rear brakes set up with wilwood cross drilled vented rotor keeping the hand brake. | | | 04-11-2012, 05:13 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 | Most of what you are doing is already available, and the demand is very very low. You just don't need more than what the later model year vented rotors provide in terms of stopping performance. Even with a swap, I think the vented rotors are more than adequate. | | | 04-11-2012, 08:26 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by mohaughn Most of what you are doing is already available, and the demand is very very low.

Pretty sure those are 993 calipers, no? Looks like the 351426 part number is for that model span of 911. I think they look great, and I'm sure they are very good calipers, but the market for this kind of thing is rather small, that's all I was saying. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
