AW: [DML] Ventilated Cross Drilled brakes available?

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

John,

you can get those 4 piston calipers at any better tuning
shop that is specialized on old Ford stuff. European Ford.
The front calipers - even the original calipers are available
with spacers AND larger brake pads as Ford used them on their
verhicles with more hp.
Ventilated rotors are available from a dutch vendor and a german
shop sells them, too. I even know a car here that has Brembos
installed because the guy wan't aware of the fact, that there is
an internet and a search function. He spent 2000$ for brakes that
he could have fixed/replaced for less than 500$. (Afterwards he
had better brakes but sold the car because he wanted a 5 speed...)

And I really wonder what insurance companies care in the states ?
At least in Cali the brake check was ridiculous - they just looked
for leaks - no brake check itself was performed. Here we have to
get our cars checked every two years - smog check and brakes included.
And about 50% of the right rear parking brakes are worse than the left
side because of the way how they routed the line around the tranny.
I never read about that problem on this list ?!?

These guys sell the 4 piston calipers:

#1. There are no calipers that use 4 pistons that I'm aware of.
#2. I do have cross drilled solid rotors that will keep the rotors about 250
degrees cooler than original. Most companies will do the specials if you
want to buy quantity, but not 2 or 4.
#3.As far as vented rotors, the calipers have to enlarged and to do that
spacers have to be made and fitted. You can them overseas but in the US the
insurance companies rule.
We have to consider Liability insurance.
Hope this helps.
