I think this would be an awesome OEM upgrade if we can find a way to make this work. Would it be possible to make a pair of hubs using 73 C10 hub/rotor assemblies by machining off the rotor portion of the assembly? They're listed for $64 for a pair on RockAuto. That would solve the hub part while allowing you to use stock bearings spindle nut, etc. SRT8 performance PowerStop rotors list for $140/pair on RockAuto while the remanufactured calipers sell for $200/set and brake pads for $68.
Has anyone asked Tobin if he would be interested in making a bracket for this? He lists his other similar brackets at about $100 per pair and brake lines at another $100.

That would put the total costs at:
$64 - 73 Hub/Rotors (not including machining)
$140 - SRT8 Rotors (Rabestos)
$200 - SRT8 Remanufactured Calipers
$68 - SRT8 Brake pads
$100 - Caliper brackets
$100 - SS brake lines

Total Cost = $672 (That's using premium parts from RockAuto, not the economy stuff)

Does anyone have any experience on using machined down heavy duty C10 hub/rotors as hubs? OP, would you be interested in this kit if I could find someone to assist in manufacturing the mounts for the calipers?

Cheers!
