Who wants 11" brakes?

[Riley McDowall <roog@home.com>]

Hey guys, first things first, I'm plugging a product that's being
manufactured and sold by some friends of mine.  So I apologize for
potentially abusing the list and wasting bandwidth.... but I think it's
worth it.  :)

The product in question is a hardware kit that will let you bolt G60 or
early VR6 calipers to your stock hubs.  You'll have to use 11" rotors, of
course.  Why would you want 11" front brakes?  We had quite the little
discussion about this in the spring (check the archives!), and the
consensus among people who had done the conversion was that the bigger
brakes improve feel/modulation, resist fade better, and generally stop your
car faster.  The only downside is the price - you put slotted 10.1" rotors
and Ferodos on your car, and you'll probably be stopping fast enough, for
less money.  Well, here's what the 11" conversion will cost: $89US for ALL
the hardware you'll need, plus whatever the calipers and rotors cost.  This
is the least expensive conversion kit on the market, BTW.  As you know, you
can find pretty cheap Brembos or ATEs from Potter/EM sport/whereever, and
you can pull your own calipers from a yard or find them used on the net.
And if you've got a 16v, don't forget your 10.1 stuff is worth something to
an 8v or Rabbit driver....

I've been abusing this kit for almost 10 months now, and aside from the
better braking, I dont' even know it's there.  The design is solid, and the
parts are bulletproof.  The kit was designed by the guys at Momentum
Motors, by the way, so their reputation should tell you something about the
kit's quality; check their website to see some of the cars they've built in
the last few months - http://www.momentummotor.com .

So yeah, these guys are friends of mine, but they wouldn't be if they sold
me shitty brake parts.  I'm a happy customer, first and foremost...

Oh, one more thing - the big rotors look the BOMB, if you know what I mean
:)  However, you'll need 15" rims to clear the calipers!  If you've got any
questions, you can either call them at 604-552-9707 or send me an email...

Thanks for your time!
