philstireservice Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 will the 14" brembo's fit? No bigger than 13"..like the post said above. Quote
robbodleimages Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 trying to be clear. 14" stoptech's dont clear 17" Cobra R R58's. The Brembo does barely. The problem is that to my knowledge there is not a racing brake kit for the S197 in any 13" config. You have to create it yourself. Quote

The info I stated was from the wheel manufacturer. Quote
Members Al F. Posted September 28, 2010 Members Posted September 28, 2010 FYI web site says 72 or 52 offset, not 48 Quote
Burnett Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 The 10in shows 52 & 72 the 9's show 48 & 63. I think these may be the ticket for S197's. You can space out the 48's to exactly where you wand them if they are not perfect. BTW (Rob) Rehagen DOES have a racing 13in brake kit, big brembos & 72 vane rotors for all of us 17in wheel guys.

Robin See, here's someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to brakes.....thanks Robin ! Quote
robbodleimages Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 yes...he does. i have two sets of brembo calipers. i have 4 spare sets of mounting hats. i have a new set of rotors on the car, a good set of used as spare and a new set in the boxes. i also endurance race where the 14" brakes really come into play. its not quite as simple as buying new brakes so i can buy new wheels....that and I have 3 really good sets of Fikse 18" wheels that ive worked hard to get. but its a good option for someone starting out. no question.

stevepoe Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 trying to be clear. 14" stoptech's dont clear 17" Cobra R R58's. The Brembo does barely get creative "rob" Mill .125 on the radial mount bracket to where it meets the caliper and it will fit. ask me how I know..... Quote
robbodleimages Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 appreciate the input, "steve". if there was a rule, that you have to fabricate your own stuff with your own hands to qualify to club race, it would have saved me a lot of headaches. i dont/cant do things like that. is it a grinder you would use to do that? i dont have one of those or the skills to use it. but...it does make sense to try that when its possible.

nape Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 but...it does make sense to try that when its possible. Easiest/most accurate way would be to put it in a Bridgeport with a DRO. Shouldn't be more then a couple hundred if you can find a small machine shop that will do small jobs. Some cage builders have Bridgeports in the shop for various tasks. Quote
