None that I know of. It would be nice if someone fabricates one

i can make some no problem. all i need is some is350 calipers, i have an extra front and rear spindle and hub assembly so i can mock it up on the bench. as far as rotors i dont know on the size but you might be able to upgrade to bigger one off a different car. a lot of 240 guys run 300zx calipers with 350z track rotors. those are about 13" in diameter. some people also use mustang cobra rotors that are huge too.

if someone local gives me even one is350 caliper i can have it made. im at school right now so starting mid may i can have it done within a few days no problem. my dad rents space at a machine shop for his business so i can have those guys make the brackets as well based on the prototype. i wouldnt even charge anyone for the "R&D fees". just whatever the machine shop will charge for materials and their labor.

i like doing this kind of stuff but you will have to consider the benefits first. someone measure the piston size and rotor size, as well as the weight for both rotor and caliper. based on that we can figure out, mathematically of course, if its a worthwhile upgrade. it probably will provide better stopping power but you also have to consider things such as brake bias.

If you can pull it off, throw these bad boys on



Based on the Group Buys on CL, they are priced very competitively against other BBK options
