The one with 5 is for a Cobra iirc. Should be a nice setup with some work :cool:

Correct. The front is Cobra(13") and the rear is focus SVT front(12")

The cobra rotors are easily re-drilled on a drill press, common practice. As for the Focus SVT rotors on the rear, I don't think that's been done before, but this setup will provide a brake balance almost identical to stock....with far more stopping power. :drool:

The track car will now be receiving my black 17's, I'm in the market for 18s for BLKOUT2, she's getting a makeover next year and restored to her former glory and beyond. :)
 
Just make sure you indicate them in and make sure you on center.....you could have some huge balance issues. Personally find someone with a bridgeport so they can be indicated in O.C. and then drilled precise Just my .02 I don't want to see good rotors go to waste.
What are you going to use for calipers? Stockers? or did you get some cobra calipers?

I don't believe the rotors are actually centered by the lug holes. They're drilled a little sloppy so i don't think they'd have to be that precise.

The rotor is centered by the hub on the center of the rotor, that's what the rings from Baer fare for. They convert the Cobra ID to the Contour hub od.
 
New rear end link parts came in today....Who needs bushings when you can go double rod end? :laugh::drool:

One of the guys at work is machining the otehr parts needed to build my rear arms and i'll have them in time for the holiday weekend when i plan to get the arms done with the exception of the bushings.

I'm expecting the calipers tomorrow, and the rings from bear Friday.

Not seeing any spice rack!

Looks good though. How are you mounting the bottom end of the link?

I understand that. And I know he has the hub rings. But I'd still indicate thos rotors in and use a bridgeport to lay out the holes. I wouldn't want to see the drill walk and ruin a good set of rotors. Josh isn't made of money so I understand his position. he could also pull the studs out of a hub and use trnsfer screws to layout the bolt pattern on to the rotors. And then carefully use the drill press with center drills etc. Just my .02

Already have the studs knocked out of a hub ready to go tony. :cool:
 
wow, you guys like to do things the hard way.
Josh, just weld the 5ht hole shut and push one of the others into the right location!

see, simple!
