12 inch front brake set up ( fits under 15 drag wheels )

The set up I had on my car for the last couple of years, it`s from baer I think..the hubs are aluminum with 3 inch long 1/2 fine studs, the outer bearing is oversized like the 1LE and the inner is the stock third gen size. The set uses 88-96 corvette front rotors and calipers. The reason I liked them was how light they are, I think they are 36-37 pounds per side compared to the stock ones that were 43-44. The set is in really good shape bearings seals studs caps and all, the consumables ( pads and rotors ) are perfect also. I have a few pictures of them on my car thru the wheel to give you a idea. I can sell these as low as 250 without my spindles (you will need to modify yours to accept the adapter brackets)... or if you want 350 with the spindles. These brakes are already off the car and waiting to go. shipping will be a little bit probably I can get you a good price from fedex or you can use your own choice. I`m only selling these because of the good deal I got on a set of aerospace componets fronts from another member here.

Pic`s as they sit now...I ran everything thru the parts washer at work except the calipers/rotors/pads.







If you look at the left rotor, there is a pad on it`s side, it is nice /thick the dust caps are not in the picture and I`will pick up a new hardware kit for the buyer, (pin`s & springs)

basic componets are from a early 90`s corvette, I believe the kit was an early baer product, it does fit behind 15`s, I think it can be duplicated mostly, the hubs were a special off set but for the most part it is considered a "C4 kit" related to the fourth gen corvettes. A member here ebmiller used to sell them, contact him he still may, I`m not sure if he`ll have the aluminum hubs but it does not hurt to ask.
