project; what!??

Talk to Deuce from Phattys


The pics on his site are for his upcomming B series kit. If you look close you can see the stock Mazda spindle he used to portotype them. They look sick and if you look at my profile you will see the kit he made for my truck. 13.2 inch Wilwood disks and 4 piston calipers. They do stop!

That would be perfect!!! One thing i was thinking about is the bearings with a 24" wheel up front i havnt looked on the mazda but i cant imagine they are very big? Might get pertty hot?

Mine is running a toyota spindle and the bearings are close to the same size as the ones on my Monte Carlo. Unless you are planning on going land speed racing, I think you will be fine.

the bearing on the front looked to be a good size. not to make a price war or anything. how much did you spend on your front setup? id loke like a 14 or 15 inch disk! if they even make that big of a disk that is.

Good point like i said i havnt looked at them yet i just know those 24s are heavy then upgrade to a bigger rotor wich adds more weight. Somthing to not overlook. Now that i think about it the 4x4 guys run big ass tires with em and dont seem to have many problems...

14 or 15 inch rotors holy shit haha. Bigger than stock mazda rims. The only rotors Ive seen bigger than 13 inch are made of carbon fiber and kevlar and on race cars with 8 piston liquid cooled calipers.

whoa! maybe not that big lol! i thought ssbc had a hd brake kit that had like a 14 inch rotor. i may be mistaken thow. what kind of master should i pair it with? there is no room for a booster so it will be 100% no power brakes.

I would look at the tilton or the willwood like 1" bore or 7/8

Mine is a one off, but his kits are like 1300.
I think there are prices on his site. If you have someone who is a capable machinist, You could order Willwood Hats and rotors and use your hubs. The only machining would be to adapt the caliper to your stock mounting points. It deff. can get pricy, The rotors are 100-200 dollars each, the hats are 50-100 dollars each and the calipers are 150 up. The prices depend on size, bigger equals more money. Just the parts will cost minimum 300 per wheel and then you have to figure out how to mount them. In comparison, the kits are engineered to bolt on.The way I look at it tho' you spend around 2000 on air ride, and another 2000+ on wheels, don't skimp on saftey. These trucks wern't meant to have larger rollers and this is the price of admission....

You would be correct. Must be a relatively new kit they came out with. Says it even comes with 10 piston calipers . For the master cylinder maybe you could mount it under the dash so you could keep the booster. Or you could use a 60's corvette master cylinder.
