Re: C900 brake upgrade using 9000 calipers Posted by Saabu [Email] (#1133) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabu) on Mon, 12 Mar 2007 21:59:02 In Reply to: Re: C900 brake upgrade using 9000 calipers, Justin VanAbrahams [Profile/Gallery] , Mon, 12 Mar 2007 20:30:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
there are two thicknesses of rotors for the big brakes too. one is 23.5 and IIRC the other is 25 mm thick. You can't use the 25 mm rotors on the 54mm calipers.
For anyone else reading, if you are doing this upgrade on an -87 car, you'd be well advised to get stainless steel brake lines and adapters as well, for the extra distance from the fenderwell to the top of the caliper.
Those 57 mm brake calipers are very very heavy, by the way. If only they were available in carbon fibre..
I beleive Damien Shulock (performance board) has gotten Wilwood to manufacture calipers to fit 900's, probably a fair amount lighter than the 57's.
