I suppose I could

Shizles are sold!

What time you guys plan on getting there?

Andrew, check your email.

SOLD

I emailed Phil, so looks like I'll be there. You guys happy? Sheesh.

New or used. I got one, has a crack that can be patched up.

by the way, will these lugs rust over time also?

no, as Pras mentioned, the threaded portion is 27mm.

Then, I'll let you guys select the right parts for me.

If you guys are sourcing 17mm lugs, grab me ten additional lugs for 20mm spacers, and 10 additional lugs for 15mm spacers. My order now comes to this. 5mm spacer + 10 lugs (35mm) 25mm spacer + 10 lugs (30mm) 10 lugs for 20mm spacer (50mm) 10 lugs for 15mm spacer (45mm) OEM lugs length is 30mm (I measured)

I know my 15mm kit came with 19mm (Eibach, through George@Viva), and my 20mm came with 19mm (H&R, through Henry@Options).

Joe, I need stock sized lugs because my stock sized lugs look like stuff. They're all rusty and junk.

Dangit, why did my 20mm spacers come with 19mm lugs, then? 5mm spacer + 10 extended lugs (30mm + 5mm = 35mm) 25mm spacer (include spacer mounting lugs?) + 20 stock sized lugs (30mm)

Yes, thickness is per axle. I wanted 10 so I could space out my winter wheels up front. Ok, I take 5mm and 25mm, I suppose. Keep the track the same when I swap into winter mode by the way, can we purchase stock length lugs from them? Mine are crappy rusty. Finally, doesn't the 5mm use stock length lugs, also?

Yay, I want 1 set of 25mm, and one set of... wait no 10mm??? :(

Nope, but this should do the trick. http://vista.pca.org/sch/tech_articles/cal...per_rebuild.htm

Brake bias is actually on par, as far as I can tell. No bias valve or master cylinder change, yet. I've driven it hard on the road, and stomped to lock up my brakes. From 40 MPH hard stop, my car dives a little bit. It's definitely not as front biased as with OEM rears, but I like the feel of it so far. I would like to compare this setup to the OEM rear setup one day, but swaping out stuff like that is a PITA. For now, I'll leave it as is until I can afford a larger MC and possibly a bias valve for fine tuning.

Well, I just ground down the outer side of the shoes (not the actual braking part) so that it's not "so wide". Worked like a charm. As for making the smaller OD, whenever I did that it didn't bind, but the parking brake didn't bite when pulled up. So, the grinding of the outer side of the shoes did the job. Now, I have four big red calipers on my car :D

Iit's not an issue of the parking brakes being too far out radially (i.e. in the path of them actuating and biting on the drum. It's the shoes are moved too laterally towards the innerface of the rotor. So, the side of the shoes hit the edge of the brake drum. Releasing parking brake, etc. doesn't fix the prob. I'll try again to see if I can adjust the lateral position of the shoes.

I'm having issues installing the S60R rear BBK. I got a hold of the calipers and rotors separately, and bought the brackets from CJ. 1. The bolts that hold the bracket to the spindle are too long. I needed to add 2 washers to each bolt for the bracket to secure properly. 2. There is a LOT of cutting of the backing plate for the caliper to clear. 3. The S60R rotor doesn't seat all the way for me. Everyone who's installed it says the parking brake works like normal. In my situation, the S60R rotor parking drum will hit the side of the parking brake shoes. So, when I secure the rotor with the 10mm rotor pin, the side of the parking brake shoes will be pressed against the drum. Loosen the pin, and the rotor spins freely. What gives?

Sorry, dude. Hope things lighten up for you.

Is it due to the design of the spoke on the inside of the rim? The spoke's backside hits the top of the caliper, doesn't it?
