want big brakes? something to ponder

ok...there are people who have run Aerostar rotors on Mazda's....Aerostar's and 94/older Ranger's use the same rotors as Aerostar's....

ok, the kicker....

people have been machineing Ranger rotors down to just a hub and using Mustang Cobra SVT rotors......

this could also be done on a Mazda using the ranger hubs....

wouldn't be cheap, but it would be 13" rotors on a mazda....

just have to make caliper adaptors....

have to run at least 17" wheels and probably FWD offset.....

Why? Unless u r heavily modded engine wise u r stopping a 2800 pound truck with an 85 hp engine.Good slotted /slotted and drilled rotors are available with good ceramic pads.What else do u need-no mods required.BJ

well, i am about to buy a mazda and am planning on dropping a built up Probe/MX-6 turbo engine in it.....will be shooting for 200-225 RWHP....

Try using a toyota spindle, they are already 5 on 4.5 and I belive there are numerous big brake kits out there...

As well you could probably use a set of customs spindles fron BIOKUSTUMZ they would not be cheap but I'm sure he can make a set that will set the wheel at the right place, and use whatever hub assembly you want....perhaps a colorado because they have a bolt on hub...and they have 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern so there are more wheels.

colorados are a wierd 6 lug pattern

I thought only the 4bys had a six lug....

whatever the case they have bolt on hubs and ssbc makes a huge 14" brake kit for them.....

Make everyone a deal here....if I can get a stock spindle, bearings rotor and caliper from someone....in working order, I will draw up in CAD, a new hub design that will use lets say a 5 bolt mustang brake setup...and I will either give the design to everyone for free or produce the hubs and sell them at my cost....

this will be a wolt on, using stock bearings, castle nut and everything....And if wanted I will design a bracket to mount the calipers.....if anyone would be interested let me know.

i'd be interested as hell if it were for the 13" rotors and calipers.....

I guess the real deal is who wants to send me some stock parts so I can model them.....
