Well, I decided to get rid of my Mazda calipers and Wilwood rotors/hats and go back to factory parts for the brakes.....the only variation from stock will be the billet hubs so that I can run 911 vented rotors and calipers (bolt on) and that I'm going to add 911 vented rotors in the back along with Eric Sheas V-caliper kit. (all bolt on as well)

Selling the other stuff for a few reasons:

.....getting conflicting stories on whether or not my car will pass the mandatory* brake and light inspection with totally obvious non-stock brakes..

with the current 12" rotors, I can only run my 17" rims, which means if I get a flat in the front I'm swapping for a 17" tire in the rear and putting spare in the back..(no big deal in the grand scheme of things).....

if I ever want to run a dedicated set of rims and tires, it would be cost prohibitive to have to buy special 16" or 17" rims along with the tires...at least with 15" rims I have a decent choice of economical rims to choose from.


*salvage title

I'm trying to talk Felix into running big brakes on his neo9146 and the hats and rotors would fit fine for his application....I'm recommened a new Wilwood caliper for him...hopefully he bites and take me up on the offer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Since everyone should have at least one driver car, I say being smart. Save R&D for a project car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

currently the rotor is 12.19" X .81 (cost less than $40 each new)
hat was more...but a 1 time purchase compared to rotors

Wilwood has a 13" X 1.25" rotor that will bolt onto the hub, however, it cost's about $150 each

Calipers range from $125 to $300 each....

Has anyone sucessfully done 4-lug rotors that are vented?

Possibly get some vented 5-lug rotors, weld in the center from a 4-lug rotor so you could use the wheel-bearings? Maybe with Eric Shea's kit for the calipers it could be done?

I think it's a smart thing to do. The stock stuff is well decent if well maintained. I would stick with it if I wasn't about to have 250HP.

It's not giving up - you designed a really cool setup - it's just impractical for a couple of reasons. It ought to be on someone's racecar (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Inspection for a salvage title? They do it on the initial registration, and never again. I can ask the B&L guy next door what the rules are. Remind me tomorrow after 9AM. The Cap'n

no welding or cutting..use the billet hubs in "the store", install /4 wheel bearings, bolt on factory 911 vented rotors, bolt on factory 911 M calipers and there you go (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Bernies is the 1st one with Volvo calipers unless John Rogers has them on his race car as well....
