Default Re: Re: I forgot this was for SC's

Actually, this kit is for the SC3/4's and GS3/4's. However, only one other SC owner (excluding me) has shown an intrest in the upgrade so its mostly GS owners who waNT IT I GUESS.

It's been several weeks and there is absolutely no progress toward this groupbuy.

Neither am I interested in this groupbuy anymore.

I AIM MyLexus couple times (and another just 5 min ago). He never responded. Guess he's too busy with his business. Kind of disappointed but that's too bad.

Hello their buddy,

I can get the Billit Dynalite 4 piston calipers for a good price. I would just need to get the adapters and hoses machined which would not be an issue.

These are the only Wilwoods that would fit the stock GS17" rims.

The Billet Superlite would be too wide.



The machinist is the $$$ part, but...I have a GOOD one available.

I do not want to run the heavy TT calipers on the car so this may be an alternative especially since I have the stock 17" wheels.

PM me Dennis with your number, I'm sure I have it on my cel, but just in case.

Will is also interested.

I'm going to do the 4 piston version Billet Dynalite first.

It will utilize the stock 17" rims and rotors.
This setup should result in reduced thermal shock on the rotor, longer life, and a firmer brake pedal than the p iss poor 2 piece floating OEM calipers. This "should" relate to better overall braking-but the pudding will be in the testing.

I need to speak to my fabricater on the hoses.

The 6 piston will not fit the stock wheel offset so different wheels would be in order. Too bad since those calipers are really sexy.
