dohc v6 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Brackets are done, next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Going to get the bracket taped and faced. You will need a MIN of 6" from the tip of the wheel stud to the inside of the wheel. If you have that much room then these will fit on your car. I am going to measure mine tonight and see what it is, they are 17" rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Just out of curiosity... How do you plan to get them welded on perfectly straight? I would think the slightest variation would cause problems like premature or irregular pad/rotor wear... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z34_nut Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Can I have a complete break down of what the kit includes? Do you replace the whole hub? I'm not to clear on what the package includes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The package includes- $339- New WaterJetted brackets made out of 4140 steel, welded to YOUR housing, machined brackets from GXP $445- New WaterJetted brackets made out of 4140 steel, welded to my housing, machined brackets from GXP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 These are very fair prices. If anyone wants to argue the price, please dont buy, I spent atleast $1000 building this first set, and about 40 hours. RSM was selling theres for $2400, and the brackets are not fully welded, who know what steel they used. So please if you have limited funds, not to be rude, but dont post saying that this is to expensive. Honestly I am just about braking even, so I am not here to make money, I am here to provide others the opportunity to have 13" brakes on there car.

Euro Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 so those prices don't include any other sort of piece of the gxp brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 No, as stated, this is for the brackets, welding, and maching of the GXP bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 just wondering!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Are there any takers? I guess you all want to see them on my car, correct? If thats the case I should have them welded on before the end of the week, but no guarantees. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timg Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm still interested. I would not be able to send in a core (car's in South Dakota and I'm not). Are any spacers required for the wheels or longer studs? What's the minimum wheel size? Will this restrict me to only running 18" wheels and not the stock 16's? In addition to the kit, I would then need to buy the GXP brake rotors, calipers, and pads? And they bolt directly on with no modifications? I have some stainless steel brake lines for my stock calipers. Will these fit, or will I need a new/custom set of brake lines? What sort of payment would you take and how long will it take for a kit to be completed. At some point, will there be a kit for the rear GXP brakes so that you're GXP all around? I am interested in the price of a complete kit, but I am also considering just the brackets. Thanks. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeah, I can send you a set and when i get your cores back, you will get your money back. It might be more money to ship back though. No spacers are requires. There is a minimum of 6.25 inches from the wheel stud. I am going to be running 17" and they will be close, but still work. The stock brake lines should work, I have SS lines on my 94 so i will know if they work when I get them on my car. You will have to buy a gxp set of pads, rotors and calipers, unless you would like to buy a full kit. I am working on a set for the rear, should not take that long as the rear is much easier.
