Contemporary front brake help

summerfunk · #1 (**permalink**) 03-22-2003, 02:39 PM

I have the coil over set up with pin drives. I have Wilwood superlite four pot calipers and wonder if anyone has a six pot set up. Also one of my discs looks to have a hairline stress crack in it and I would like to replace it. Does anyone know where I can get new replacement discs. The ones I have are 11 inch vented I think they are Brembo. Are cross drilled ones available? If you have a coil over set up with a different brake system that you feel really works well I would appreciate the details.

If they are stock discs they should be for a Jag XJ series ~11." I may still have a set of unused rotors arround. I ended up developing a 14" brembo rotor setup before I finished the car. Pictures of my new setup should still be on this board.

Gary ,

Nice work on the fronts ,I'm still with the series 1, could you provide a couple details of what you did? and does that setup fit behind 15" wheels?

thanks Karl

Details:
- selected light weight Brembo 14" rotor
- designed custom aluminium top hat that would locate the rotor in the best spot and fit the XJ bolt pattern, etc.
- design and build a custom Cr Moly Steel bracket to locate the caliper in the correct spot relative to the rotor.
- upgraded to all aircraft quality hardware to hold on rotor and for caliper and bracket.

Will only work on 17" and larger wheels (may for 16" but I doubt it).

Yet another reason to turn your Trigo's into a coffee table.
