Big Reds on cb dropped BJ spindles

Finally got my setup installed on the passengers side, will do the drivers side this weekend.

I've used cb dropped BJ spindles, bearing spacers, 87 944T hubs, 322x32mm 993TT rotors with adapter hats and custom caliper adapters I designed and had machined by www.vdubcustoms.com.

Wilwood 25.4mm MC (f) and 22.22mm MC (r) with bias bar and remote bias adjuster complete the package.

The setup looks KILLER ! I have one minor problem though ... the crossover tube on the caliper "slightly" rubs up against the lower balljoint. It looks like I just have to flip this tube and I will have enough clearance. Will determine on the weekend though.

Pics to follow.

Now just need to get some brake pads, install the pad retainer springs, and get the fenders and bumpers painted and this bug is on the road. :agree:

Very nice set-up you got there. :agree:


I keep telling myself that all I need is some single pot 944 calipers but it's so hard to resist the big reds...

The third picture is a little deceiving. I fitted the pads and the rotor is about 1mm above the top of the pads, so I have full pad contact.

Hey quick question.

What type of calipers are you using? I know that they are big reds but for what year and type of Porsche are they for? Did you get them from the dealership as well as the other parts or did you do the e-bay route? Thanks for the info!

Clint

master cylinder for 996t calipers

my brackets are done and I have to get a master cylinder. I looked at wilwoods site but am not sure about exactly which mc to use, a part number would be great. is a 1 inch piston the best for these 4 piston claipers

master cylinder

still can't find the master cylinder you guys are talking about. I found one that is 1 1/16 inch that looks like it would work. some photos of your master setup would be great. I would share pics of my stuff

That is a lovely setup Sandeep. Lovely indeed. What grade material is this aluminium?

Would be nice to see a pic of the bias valve adjuster and the rear brake setup.


Thanks for sharing.
