Justin, wow that's a very fair price for a full custom performance brake package. Hope you get some takers on this - like the autox crowd - so they can start handing the competition some lower places on the finish roster.

 

[Justinreed7]

The price is basically at cost after material and machine costs. Just paying 2 hours of my labor assembling the rotors.

Too late, already ordered them. Thanks Justin for including us in your engineering developments.
10-12 lbs of unsprung weight at each wheel is huge...
Is that even possible? So I found a rear rotor and caliper and put them on the scale. 18.8 pounds.

The front rotor and caliper will be significantly heavier with the vented disk and dual piston caliper.
So, yeah, I guess it is possible... aluminum hats are much lighter than cast iron.
The superior pedal feel and heat dissipation will be great too, although I've never had the opportunity to try floating discs on a car,

Front LSJ rotors are 16lbs and front calipers are 14.5 dressed. floating rotors are 9.5lbs and afco calipers are 5lbs. It adds up!

darn you @Justinreed7 just as I thought I was done buying things here you are with this, go ahead and put me down for a full set

 

[Justinreed7]

First batch is sold out with 5 kits rolling out in the coming weeks!
These are still available, although future batches may be just rotors only and I’ll supply a detailed part list to complete the kit and not waste money on shipping. I’ll adjust pricing accordingly for future kits soon.

 

[Justinreed7]

first series of shipments have arrived! 20 rotors, check!

I have an odd question. I don't think it would be necessary, but I like the look of gigantic brake discs. Do you think it would be possible for 17in rims to adjust the design and get larger discs?

The base model brakes will out brake the grip you can generate with 90% of the setups here, the main benefits here are weight and cooling gains, it is likely feasible to do bigger rotors but would require at a minimum different caliper standoffs and likely a different hat set to accommodate a less common larger diameter rotor

The Cobalt SS Brembo brakes fit inside some 17 inch rims - depends upon backspacing. These should bolt onto the DF front hub uprights (caliper may need some shiming) and is a readily available 'big brake' package that should meet the look you want. The brakes that Justin put together are more specific to fitting inside a 15 inch rim for the track crowd.

Awesome, I will keep my eyes open for them.

larger discs would lock up way too easy. I see no benefit other than looks

There was a 77 pound box left here, with some special parts inside. I have more playing to do!

Looks like it will be a fun install. I should be seeing mine in the near future and can't wait to get the aluminum bits anodized, installed and setup.

 

[Ross]

My install fun is here. I modified my hub a little, then the caliper hat a bit. Still need to install the new brake line, and bleed the system.

 

[mike_sno]

Since I just updated my brakes with the proportional valve. How big is the difference between the standard brakes and the full floating? How much do you notice the reduced weight, better brake feeling,...?
