Letting the cat out of the bag - 13" OEM Quality Front Brakes for the MA70 Platform

[Doward]

Yes, I can not see these clearing sawblades in any way - though I'm going to test that to verify

That said, if you ARE on sawblades, I think the stock brakes aren't really limiting you just yet. When you need 13" brakes, you'll need the extra meat on the ground

Got my attention! Sounds like what I have been looking for in an upgrade. Just wish the A70's Front breaks were as easy & inexpensive to upgrade as the Lexus SC. Just got a set of 95+ LS400 4-piston calipers, Drilled/Slot Rotors & Hawk pads (Size of MKV TT) for under $400.

Christ, even that kit has the pad overhanging by .020"! Can nobody freaking measure?

Here's the QCad screenshot - notice the pads are 100% on the rotor!



Also, the rotors I'm currently using (and hopefully, will clear everything!) you can pick up for ~$40-$50 apiece at your local parts house (Autozone, Napa, etc)

very interesting......cant wait to see the finished product!

 

[Doward]

Neither can I Next weekend I'm hoping to answer whether the brake kit will clear MK4 TT wheels. I'll also have pics of the calipers mounted up and such!

I can

 

[QWIKSTRIKE]

Nice project there bud.....loving it for sure.

 

[Doward]

I can

BS - you're clearly still slowly slipping into senility

LOL I can does too measure good I can

Maaaaatlock

 

[Doward]

Man, you can take a thread OT faster than I can type

Once I build the prototype brackets next weekend, I'll start tracking down some local shops to see how much it's going to cost to have these pumped out.

As a show of hands, how many people are actually down with this?

Are people wanting just the brackets and rings, or full bolt on kits?

 

[Doward]

Yes, dual posting action!

 

[YotaRob]

I would like to purchase the brackets and rings. Im poor and still rolling 16's anyhoo.:icon_sad:

 

[GC89]

Brackets and rings here, this winters project is a built motor. Its going to be a while till I have cash for brakes.

 

[fstlane88]

I'd be down for the whole kit. Seems like if I do buy an entire ready to bolt on kit, it spends a lot less time sitting in the garage collecting dust, waiting for me to get to it.

 

[s000pra89T]

For that price, I'd be down for a whole kit.

And subscribed... :bigthumb:

Horrible timing Doward, lol.

I'm interested in the custom fab parts though, so that I can finish the kit later.
