    so regardless, the SR20 brakes will require less clearance.

    advantage of the SR20 discs is they dont need to be re-drilled also

    how we going for time with the brackets ect?

    Single piston calipers will always require less clearance.

    I haven't touched the brackets since starting this thread.

    A) I haven't had time
    B) I'm waiting on about a dozen parts from my machinist for my car. And so I'm not going to give him any more work until I get all my stuff.

    If someone wants to come up with $300 or so to get a working prototype made I can do it.

    But I'm doing too much at the moment to fork the money out myself.

    just to add for the 4 spot vs single.. there is little weight saving.. and often weight GAIN to be had going from 4 spot to singles.. as the singles are cast iron, vs alloy
    same for the discs.. the 280x30 and 280x26 are only 100grams difference.

    only benefit is rim spoke clearance.. and even then, not that much difference (but some)

    are these still availbable and would you ship stateside? need rings, front and rear brackets. not too worried about the rear spacer since i different offset wheels. should make up the difference

    thanks!
