Re: Brake options for Corvette C4 85-87 Hubs

Can't help on any 'vette stuff, but I am using Brembo monobloc calipers and porsche GT3 380x32mm steel disks on an Audi, and they fit under 18" wheels [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
The offset is the thing to watch, as the clearance to the wheel spokes is very tight.

The disks are bolted to alloy bells using porsche T nuts and bolts, so presumably you could simply get the bells machined locally to fit your bolt pattern and desired offset.

For the Audi guys, these come from a company called 'Movit' in Germany. They are somehow affiliated to Porsche & Audi, not quite sure how though.

I have the part numbers for the disks, T nuts, bolts, and calipers somewhere if your interested.

Also, other Audi owners are now using the 6 pot calipers with 360mm disks, which Movit claim are just as good.

Cheers,
John.
