Rear Brake Upgrade
Hello,
Just curious if anybody has done any type of rear brake upgrade? I an putting vented disks on the car and am having a hard time with the offset. I am using Wilwood 2 piece rotors and Jag calipers. If anybody has any pics of their Arntz with anything more than standard brakes, can you post them? Thanks! |
I think I have a bracket for that, I'd be interested to see what you have.

I am still getting the parts together. I have a set of calipers that I split in 2 pieces and am drawing up a spacer to have machined. The rotors are a bit harder as the offset is really small on the factory versions. I am trying to keep the inside of the rotor in the same position so something close to the factory mount can be used..or something very close. I originally had planned on taking a Wilwood hat, machining it down a bit, then mounting it on the inside of the rotor instead of the outside. This will work, but is a really expensive way to do it. I have now resorted to just making the hat myself.
Cato sent me pictures of his set-up from Mike Boncroft and I tried repeatedly to contact him for the rotor he used, but he never replied back, so I am winging it. I was hoping somebody had gone down this route on their Arntz as so many have done other upgrades to the front. |
