Um. Who else has big brakes?

Just curious about those with the 12.2" Wilwood kit, the 12.9" Brembo, and the 12.9" AP kits.

just wanted to gauge the "interest" for those who want a cheaper big brake kit. i.e. $1100 for calipers, lines, pads. hat, brackets and rotors that fit with no washers....

c thats the thing. bigger the rotors. nicer the hat. more the money.

12" for $1100 is easy
13" for $1300 is easy
but if you want annodized hats with laser cut brackets on T7 7071 aluminum, that will be $$$..

Precision Brakes here I come... hahahahahaha

J/K Build it and they will come, I am sure people would rather spend the money with you than some faceless company... just make a good product. Good luck, let me know when your 13" kit needs a test fitter

all my CAD & Solidworks designs are done.

ive been on/off searching for a CNC place locally. but if you know anyone that has a CNC machine willing to do it. then by all means let me know and i'll give you the brackets/hat as compensation (just just buy the caliper and rotor)


i tried locally but everyone is kinda expensive, i'm only using 6061, which is by far exceeds the criteria for safety (expecially with our design for the bracket that actually fits into the steering knuckle with no major grinding what so ever.

Wow, Cheston, i thought you were an EE, how did you learn CAD and CNC stuff? Or did you have it done. I'm an ME and just starting to learn that stuff and man, is it confusing...
