I'm sofa-building my next project while the knee heals. The theme of the next project is a lightweight narrowbody outlaw. I am going for a tasteful sprinkling of modern upgrades with old-school originality. Singer stole my idea.
I have become curious about brake options. I have cars with VCI/Big Reds, Early S, A and M calipers but no experience with non-oem options.
I see some very interesting ads in Racecar Engineering and other mags and sites showing FEA-focussed designs and exotic materials. They look very light and interesting.
There are threads on some options;
C12
73T - C12 Big Brakes
AP Racing
Stoptech
Wilwood
These have 3.5" lugspacing.
Wilwood High-Performance Disc Brakes - Billet Calipers Superlite 4 Lug Mount
Performance Friction
Its probably not perceptible on its own, but I'll take any weight savings. Perhaps there are some options out there with a lower profile to allow a bigger rotor if desired without needing to bump up wheel sizes with the associated rim and tire weight?
Does anyone want to share their non-OEM calipers and rotors?
Thanks!
