Yet another attempt for technical discussions toybreaker will be proud. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Started my quest for big brakes a year ago. Found a stealth RT and pulled the stuff. Then realized the calipers would clear my wheels because of the backspacing/offset of the rotors. Well solution new bigger rotors. Found the new durangos have 13.25 rotors oh yea. So I cut some centering rings to discover the depth was to deep and hit the control arm beyond what was fixable so then ended up with wilwood aluminum hats and vented rotors super light. Milled out the new 4 holes for the studs but not enough for the calipers to clear the wheels... DAMN IT
So done some trading and ended up with a set of slotted cobra rotors and camaro calipers with ron's cnc cut brackets. DONE but a new problem arrives after I got them. Did some searching to find that the bias is now over 40% more to the front. This along with the Q45 master I have on the car which has a much larger piston and more bias on the front is going to turn the pedal into an impending lock up controller.
So the solution I'm going to do is one of two things with the deletion of the abs
1 just get an adjustable proportioning valve from a local circle track place or ebay and or
2 source out a rear calipers with a larger bore.
Which leaves me wondering is there a Mitsubishi that comes with an e brake control feature with a larger bore to offset the bias back to normal? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Or just get a set of camaro rears and make brackets but don't know how they're set up.
If so I may leave the abs. I had a problem with the abs light staying on about the time I tore the car down so not sure what the problem really is. I hot wired the abs pump and he relays kicked and it fired up and I also ohm'd out the wheel sensors so it maybe just a bad wire from the fuse block or something.
Post away.... Oh and yes this title was inspired by Aaron and his VR4 video. If your wondering and was under a rock that week. click me
