Roy,
I've been trying to get ahold of you. I've got $1200 worth the Torq Thurster IIs that will not fit over my current brake set up :cry:

. I need to change the front brake set up to either 4 or 6 piston set up :twisted:

. Looking at the Stoptech setup for $2000. Can you please call me at home. I sent you an e-mail to your AKO and T-online account. Do you know anybody that might be interested in the set up that I have now :roll:

????

Thanks
Val

Even w/ a spacer they won't clear?! Man that sucks! Good reason for Movit's

Jack, currently running the LG G-Stop setup, 13in rotors all that stuff. Ordering the StopTech kit tonight!!!! the G-Stop kit will be up for sale.

John, the problem wasn't clearence from the caliper to the "spoke" side of the rim but to the inner diameter if the rims. The fins on the the caliper are whats rubbing on the rims.

How old is that setup, and how much do you want for it?

Firechicken · **Posted:** Fri Aug 06, 2004 9:35 am

Jack about a 1 1/2 years old(10,000 miles on it). Remember that 15 months of that was spent in Iraq, wife put 1100miles on it in that time. Make me an offer I can't refuse. I paid $650 for the set up.

It's just lines, rotors and pads, right?

Firechicken · **Posted:** Fri Aug 06, 2004 7:55 pm

Lines, rotors, pads, & billet brackets (to relocate the caliper).

What size are your Smoothies?

Why won't they fit? Is it the offset?

Firechicken · **Posted:** Mon Aug 09, 2004 10:51 am

Jack,
Didn't have anything to do with the offset. The stock wheel fit perfect with that package. The G-2 wheels needed a spacer (5/16in). The TTIIs it was hitting the cooling fins on the caliper. A grinder took care of that, no more issues. Too late as I already ordered the StopTech brake kit for the fronts. They gave me $500 off the total price for being in Iraq!!!! The G-Stop brake kit is up for sale and will work with any stock wheel.

Name your price- that is, the lowest you'll go.
