Need to flare the brake lines, pick up an S-10 T-block mount, and make brackets for the stainless lines w/ clips.

Should be able to really hunker down and stop with 13" discs in the front and 12" discs in the back!

About what you saw. We'll see if there is enough room for it when the suspension travels. I have no worries of it's strength. If I had $160 to dump I'd have gotten the Currie one but it seems rather goofy to go that route without trying one myself first.

Just need relocation brackets and a sway bar mount but I'll go drive without both and see how it goes. Since it's the rear sway bar it shouldn't matter much on the temporary... especially in a straight line :O)

Are you sure those are front disks? They look pretty thin. Also, where is the ebrake going to be if those are front calipers? Just gonna use a wood block? It looks sweet though.

Those rotors look thin enough that you could try using one of those wilwood mechanical calipers in addition.

Those are Front C4 Calipers with Rear C4 Rotors. I plan on the Wilwood mini e-Brake caliper deals.

Tony: C4 calipers (HD and Non HD) are made by PBR.

The C4 rotors are 12".
The C4 HD Rotors are 13".


My fronts are HD my rears will be the std C4. Should stop like a crazy bitch!
