This is good stuff. Is the conversion just a matter of changing the rotors, and calibers, along with the stand/adapter, Seems simple enough. Just might have to do this!! Keep the updates coming.

What is a caliber hat?

Will you need to upgrade your brake lines with this conversion?

And that's to all of you on the tread for lowering!!!!!

 

The hat is the part of the rotor that bolts onto the wheel studs...
With a Wilwood rotor the hat is a seperate piece unlike stock rotors. Look at the earlier posts of Litneon's pics and you can see the black part of the rotor is bolted to it, thats the "hat"

As for the brake lines, Litneon went to braided stainless, but if you can get the existing lines to reach they will fit. I am planning on keeping mine at this point. Unless I can find a set of stainless for a decent price.


PS I ordered the caliper stands yesterday, supposedly I will get them in 2-3 weeks.
6 pairs and 3 are committed. So if you want in let me know. I expect a $25 deposit to hold a pair for you.

 

it looks like in the picture he is using a wheel spacer or am i just seeing wrong?

i mean i would imagine you would def. need a spacer seeing as the caliper is pretty close to the beginning of where the stud bolts start already. i guess it depends on your wheel style.

i would love to see more finished results. by far one of the best pricing for a brake upgrade.

 

would this fit with 17" rims?

 

I have emailed you for more info. I'm in!

 

Any update? What's the eta? I also made the deposit.

Thanks
Ray

 

Design was submitted early last week... I was told 15 days to get them. The company is local to me so they should ship fast... I will let you know when I have them.

 

Update

According to my machinist the parts will be done on the 17th...

 

Nice. Cant wait to see the result.

 

Any updates?

Thanks and will be waiting for your response.

 

very interest! so what do i need to do this swap cuz i got 18s and my stock brakes arent that good for the stopping them also my calipers are sticking. so time for the upgrade.

 

The hats are now 82 a piece... DAMMM!!!

 

do you still have any of these stands?

 

can anyone tell me if this pushes the face of your wheel out further? Also can this be done to a truck that has a high postive offset wheel? I am running a 40mm offset 20 and want to make sure everything will clear
