Ok, most of our members here know that I build the trackbrackets C5 conversion brackets for 4th gen F-bodies. This kit was originally the Bob Bishop conversion kit, but I bought the rights from Bob (who is no longer affiliated with this product) and am building them to his standards at the same shop that perfected this manufacturing process. I would like to do a batch of either 11 or 22 sets. I'll make some phone calls to get a firm price on this batch (I have to verify the cost of aluminum). We sold the last batch for $279 on the GP and $299 after that (shipped to your door). I'll post a firm price as soon as I get it. But it should be close to the last batch.

If you're interested, please post in this thread. Once we get enough buyers lined up, I'll start collecting money and hope to deliver them within 6 weeks (depending on my shop schedule) from that time. Just in time for spring mod season.

Thanks!

Kevin

EDIT: 01-25-06

I've verified the prices with my shop and have the final totals. I've managed to work out a deal that allows me to reduce the price slightly (but the materials, hardware and processes are not changing, they will be identical to the batches that were done before these).

If we sell 11 sets = $279 per set (Plus shipping)
If we sell 22 sets = $269 per set (Plus shipping)

I get a slight discount for a larger order and I'll pass the savings along.

The rotors are larger (bigger heat sinks) and directionally veined for better cooling. There are more choices for brake pads (and they are typically cheaper than the LS1 F-body version of the same pad). The calipers are pressure cast and more durable (less prone to spreading). You can buy replacement rotors from GM for $19.99 each and they have worked very well on track for those who have used them. Also, I believe Steve Brueck measured his stopping distance after installing this kit and it was greatly reduced (I'll see if I can find the post).

So:

More thermal capacity
Stronger/more durable calipers
Increased braking performance
Less expensive pads
Less expensive rotors
