Reply to "Upgrading brakes"

I think you guys are arguing semantics here, 0.3" is nothing on a car where tolerances are generally measured in weeks

. Most play is usually in the axles themselves and did you all add new a-arms with heim joints not rubber or poly bushings etc. Don't most have aluminum wheels to go with those Al hats, but wheels don't suffer heat expansion?

Hey, you can always go the Corvette style route with inboard brakes on the transaxle side and remove the unsprung weight altogether, Ted Mitchell sells a system.

Yes it's imprtant to make sure any new brake system is compatible with the wheels you are using and caliper to wheel clearance can easily be overlooked.

Agreed that the vendors Al caliper brackets are one up from useless.
