Clay Perrine's solution
Being discussed on the Bird board now. He's prepared to make up 50 sets of the brackets if he can find buyers. The caliper is an off-the-shelf Wilwood part. |

I ask the same question:
Why do you *think* you need vented rotors in the rear ?? Until somebody shows me real live test results from them overcooking their stock rear solid rotors.... NO need. I have NEVER even seen a 914 racer use a temp probe to check rotor temp.. cant imagine ANY street car needing anything more than a solid rear rotor. 450hp/450lbft of torque STOCK Vipers had solid rear rotors with Reliant K car rear calipers on the rear.. (the car has nearly 50/50 weight distribution) granted they went to vented rears when the power went up to 500hp. B |
