Congratulations!

I too have Recaro baby car seats. I have 2.They are great and the material is very durable after various washes.

Finally got my clutch and flywheel.

 

[pot]

Is that an SBC Stage 2?

 

[jeverts]

Its the SSX pressure plate with the ceramic disk. I dont know what stage that is. The flywheel is just a standard comp clutch lightweight steel flywheel.

 

[jeverts]

Found the Front Calipers that I am going with. They are 4 pot brembo calipers off of an 05 CTS-V. I would say that is a good price on calipers.

 

[iceman69510]

Let us know about the appearance when you get them. I don't believe that Rock Auto powdercoats the rebuilds on Brembo calipers.

 

[marvinmadman]

Doesn't look like rebuilt calipers.

 

[jeverts]

Yeah they have remans on there for $30 cheaper. Had a guy buy these for his truck and they came in looking brand new.

 

[iceman69510]

Powdercoated as from the factory or not?

 

[marvinmadman]

They are AC Delco

 

[jeverts]

Yeah they were coated with what GM coats them with. Also had the "V" with the checker flag on them.

 

[jeverts]

This is what they look like

Granted that says rear and the picture is a front.

I assume you're making your own brackets?

 

[jeverts]

Yeah I will mock up the caliper and rotor to the knuckle and faro arm it to make some mounts.

 

[turbohf]

wow. that's a great price on calipers. cheaper than used EVO calipers. I might be interested in brackets if they fit under EVO wheels /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[transparentdsm]

yes i might be as well, also depending on the rotor that needs to be used.

 

[jeverts]

I was planning on using evo rotors and I have evo 8 enkies that I plan to have them fit into.

[KiNgMaRtY]

Will you be using the 14" rotors with them? It appears 18" rims would be required for them to fit.

 

[jeverts]

14" EVO rotor with the 17in Evo 8 enkei wheels. It will fit, the calipers are identical to the evo brembos.

 

[ApexHunter]

^ I had a feeling that was the case. I assume the front pads are FMSI # 1001?

That price is extremely reasonable. Almost seems too good to be true. Shoot, i might look into replacing the Brownbos on my 2003 Evo with a set of those.
