Re: Big Brakes with OE Rotors and OE Brembo 4 piston calipers
Well this concept went over like a turd in the punch bowl now didn’t it?

Re: Big Brakes with OE Rotors and OE Brembo 4 piston calipers
The concept is good, just need somebody to make (reasonably affordable) bits to convert. Plus, you will need to be ready to shell out for larger wheels & tires to fit over the new brakes. So as much as most people probably would want to do a big brake upgrade, the buy-in to do so will take a lot of budget commitment, and would make it a no-go anyway for those of us that want to retain the stock wheels.

PLUS the cost of machining out the hub bore if you don't get SRT8 parts. PLUS the cost of re-drilling the 5x5 bolt pattern in the rotors if you don't get SRT8 parts. PLUS wheels big enough to clear the new Brembos. PLUS tires for those new wheels. These kits have been out there for a while. KORE3 has similar. CPP has a new spindle that adapts these brakes. Multiple options out there.

Re: Big Brakes with OE Rotors and OE Brembo 4 piston calipers
If anyone is looking into doing this, your first stop should be with CPP and buying there x10 drop spindles/hub setup. That is the best bang for the buck.

Using a modified GM truck spindle w/a machined truck hub + an adapter bracket can be a good thing as you can maintain or replace your bearings as needed for much less.

My plan is to run first gen SRT8 Cherokee rotors and Chevy style Brembos. I already have everything, just waiting for time.

Re: Big Brakes with OE Rotors and OE Brembo 4 piston calipers
Yep Z06 rotor. 18" wheels just clear calipers.
Tobin will sell you just the hubs if you want to go your own way in truck or pass car bolt pattern. http://www.kore3.com/products.php?cat=14 |

Re: Big Brakes with OE Rotors and OE Brembo 4 piston calipers
Ok , so I've been fooling around with this idea for all this year, so I tried it. I got the cpp modular drop spindles, and kor3 billet hubs, I got 4 brembo piston calipers off a 15 camaro ss. Rotors of a 18- up grand cherokee srt8 380mm rotors, had the inside of rotor milled out to fit the kor3 hubs, measured and made brackets like 5 - 6 damn times. And here it is
