    I may be interested in some rear spacers for 315mm rotors if you got some proof that they would be safe and reliable if you know what I mean.

    sorry as yet i wont be doing anything with the rear end as there are issues there i would like to sort out before i try a set up on the rear im doing this as a personal project and if it works i will be getting it done properly by an engineer so its safe and may sell them on a larger scale

    Yeah but it's just a bit of laser cut steel. Well I have genuine Group A calipers and that's all HSV supplied back in VN days. Just for every bodies interest - check out a set of PBR heavy duty calipers from a 1989 Corvette from USA. Very cheap and you can buy them new

    I'm not against it personally, as I have manufactured many a part to make something fit, but what will happen if a bracket that this guy has supplied breaks? I'm just saying there's more to just cutting a bit of steel and selling it when it comes to vehicle modifications and upgrades. The red tape is harder to cut through than the steel most times.
