We're talking about brakes here. Ill gladly wait a few months to ensure that the bracketry is 100% perfect (in material and production). I dont need my rear calipers breaking off. Take your time fellas!

What car is that off of? Actually, it is similar but that control arm setup, strut/spindle have more clearance in areas where it counts than the stock contour front end components. That would have been an easier kit to design whereas the contour fronts required that I take some different approaches.

Oh yeah, I forgot to comment on the hardware.
I don't like how those appear to be standard grade hardware and spacers. IDK if that is a prototype but I used much higher grade materials.

Any idea on IF you'll be producing this kit? Seems like you're up in the air on whether or not you'll be selling these. Wasn't sure if it was a liability issue, or something else. This is exactly what I've been waiting for, for our cars! Hopefully we'll know more before mid summer, as that's about the time that I'd like to do this.  Mark

I wouldn't be too concerned about liability but our society sucks. Just needs an off-road use only sticker. I don't care about the fronts. It's the rear bracket I want. If something happens to the rears who cares. Only does 25% of the breaking anywho.

Shut it. Least I don't do it on purpose because I don't know any better like most of the young CEGers.

Then I'm assuming you have the FSVT brakes up front already? Or another big brake kit? If the front mounting hardware alone is cheaper than 2 FSVT calipers(can't see how it wouldn't be), then I'd say this will be a huge benefit! If I'm picking up the front kit, I might as well do the rears as well!
