Kinda makes you regret going to 16's

A 6JX15 Factory Fuchs(well half of one), and a 6 piston caliper over a 32mm wide rotor, all with no spacers or adapters of anykind!!!! As you can see I have been spending to much time in my new garage....

Oh ya don't mind that the caliper is on the wrong side of the car(upside down) you get the picture I'm sure. I was doing something else on the otherside...... did you even notice..

Rotor is a 286X32, only 4mm larger then stock, but its the 32mm wide, thick wall, and directional venting of the rotor that’s going to make brake fade a thing of the past. I have 4 piston sets two, but the 6 piston is so nice... Also might be releasing it with a Titanium rotor, but that still up in the air.

Okay, we need to talk.......

I will contact you offline tomorrow about some of this stuff! Looks very cool! I think some of my customers would be very interested in something like this.

Cheers

I'm hoping one day I'll come accross the other half, then I will have a whole one.... I mean with the price on Fuchs now a days, even half a wheel is worth something...... lol

Interesting. This should fit the 16s, right?

Damn Dave! Couldn't reach you, so I went the 993 route, including selling my nice turbo wheels for fikse's (almost a direct trade) and spending close to $1800 on the braking upgrade.

Paul,
I have never seen the Frappr site before! Very cool. I added our Prescott Pelican Posse to the site. What a neat site. We can use this site to communicate with our group and share info with others "around the world"...
Keep swinging those puppies!

Now make the calipers for 3" struts and trailing arms and you will have a gold mine.

I am listening...

Well, he didn't say how much. It might be comparable(sp) $$ but 993 route might still be best $$ wise.

edit: I just saw his website where he is describing the 6 piston caliper.

309BL (1974-89 front struts, 6 Piston) $1959

The $1959 is not for the kit pictured here, pricing has not yet been determined. $1959 is not a bad price for a 6 piston brake kit... Show me one cheeper for the porsche that has a six piston caliper? The four piston setup that fits under all factory Porsche wheel should be about $1750, but limited avalibility for this year. Also Like I said before, We might be doing Titanium rotors for this kit.

That caliper looks like a Wilwood SL-6. They come with heat shields in the pad box; keeps things cooler.

Nope, WEVO is not going to make the brake package.
