ST205 Brake upgrade completed !, ST205 brakes on AT200 / ST204 Options

[Culpable04]

Details will follow later, hopeful;ly later today. I still need to work some more on the car but not the brakes, I have an issue with my driver side control arm that needs to be fixed, but brake-wise I'm done.




quick teaser

15 mm spacers was needed to clear MY wheels
calipers HAVE to be grind off and spacer was used to push the rotor OUT 3 mm in order to clear ball joint.
Rotor is based on a Cadillac Catera 2001
and I used Stanless steel brake lines and were just perfect, not too long and not short at all


I'll go over the whole thing later.


BTW, I did install the rotors backwards I was tired and overlooked that, but I'll fix that sometime during the week.

Hmm Lubu hasn't been on since August, the things I dont like are the spacers between the calipers & the grinding down of the caliper. The other thing I haven't checked is would I be able to get a LLVTA cert (In NZ you have to get certain mods certified like: adjustable suspension, + Turbo, + engine cc/ + cylinders, roll cages etc)

with the ST205 rotors you will still need to grind the caliper down. the reason why I needed a 3 mm on the back of the rotor is because the disc would touch the ball joint without it.

if you are not in a rush, let me look and see if there is other rotor that you can use without the spacer on the back. but you will definately need to grind the caliper bracket, no way around that unless you do a SS III suspension conversion, the offset needed for the rotor to be center with the caliper is too deep and will hit the ball joint when driving.
