Ap Sc400

Thanks Tyler!
How is the clearence on these calipers. Are they similar to the C5/6 where they need the .78 clearance?

You don't think making a bracket for a bracket will cause any unwanted flexing?

You mention this caliper line. Is there a 4 piston line that has c5-c6
capatability?

Do you think I should just follow everyone else and go c5/c6 2 pistion calipers?

I believe my freinds SK Mod runs these I can steal some for mock up.....

I would think that the 4 piston AP caliper would need more clearance than a standard C5 caliper will by quite a bit.

Think of it this way- Most 4/6/8 piston calipers are radial mounted which in turn bolt to the brake bracket that is either bolted to the spindle (as it will be in a stock F body spindle application) or to the integral brake bracket like it is on a C5 or AFX spindle. The mount for the caliper should be plenty stiff and shouldn't flex at all if made correctly.

The only 4 piston caliper from AP that is off the shelf for a C5 is the rear kit with the 1600 series of calipers. The front is a 6 piston version, but is also $3600 all said and done. Well worth the money though.

Do I think you should follow the herd? Not really. Think for yourself and decide if you have the skills to make your idea a reality. If nobody ever pushed the envelope, we wouldn't have cool new parts to drool over.
