I saw it mentioned on LS1Tech that H3's use 4 piston fixed calipers and they can be had quite cheap (~$150/pair). Does anyone have any info on these? I did a quick search and didn't see anything come up. I wonder if these could be a possible swap?

 

Interesting. Any more info, piston size? Rotor thickness? Rotor diameter stock?

 

Rotor thickness: 28mm / 1.10"

Rotor diameter: 315mm

Rotor height: 70.2mm

Caliper bore: (accurate?) 45.5mm

port: (not sure what this is) 10x1.5mm

pad: (not sure what this is) 10x.11190

pad size: 134mm x 73.5mm x 16.9mm

caliper mounting bolts are 5" center to center


I haven't been able to find any real solid info on the calipers yet.

That all looks fair enough. I really don't see any advantage though compared to other options. What are you are thinking about with these?

Calipers seem roughly the same price as CTS-V / Camaro SS.

It looks like they may be easier to mount.

 

I've seen the calipers as low at $62 each. I'm a tech for a GM/Subaru dealership so I can get parts for a pretty good discount too. They sparked my interest simply because they could be another option, they're possibly cheaper, and easier to mount.

 

Well I would be happy to play with one if you wanted to send one to me. Heck if you could get one to me for $62, I might even buy one.

I just found that the piston outside diameter is 2.75" which is approximately 70 mm each.

 

That can't be right. That would be way to large.

Is the caliper aluminum or cast iron? Hard to tell in the pix I saw.

 

It sure looks cast iron in some of the pictures, but apparently it is aluminum.

 

Where can i find those calipers cheap?
