Chikara big brake adapters
If anybody here has been wanting to do a big brake upgrade but has been on the fence, I have 8 pairs of Chikara Motorsports BBK adapters for sale. They will work on any 90-05 Miata, some parts will have to be bought from Chikara, or custom made.
I need them off my shelf so I will sell them for $250/pair shipped. New bolts come with each pair for attaching the Wilwood calipers to the brackets, basic instructions can be supplied (but they aren't really needed), and a list of what Wilwood calipers can be used with these. The best part about these brackets is that they retain the factory caliper position. You can use any OE sport size style rotor instead of using a VW offset. PM me for more info. |
$250 for all 8 sets?

250 a set? ouch.
|
you can get a complete 1.8 swap for less and still run 15's.
|
$250 for a set of brackets, and then I will still need to fab up additional parts??
|
What brake lines fit these Wilwood calipers?
|
Saw this same add on ebay a couple of weeks ago. I am interested in a set if the price was better than 250 for just brackets. I am sure if you lower the price a bit they will be gone in minutes. I don't remember which guys on here were trying to fab up a bracket to use different calipers, but why not pick up a set of these and just have these brackets copied and made cheaper for people to buy on here???

The calipers & lines can all be purchased through Summit Racing,FM or Goodwin Racing or any Wilwood dealer for cheap. |

250 for a bracket?
well, rusman said he can get us brand new everything, including bigger carrado rotors, brake pads, calipers, SS lines, bracket all fab up for 700 or UNDER. Chikara: 250 for brackets 320 for calipers 100 for SS lines 50 for rotors 50 for pads thats way over the price rusman is offering, AND it uses the bigger rotor which will allow more friction surface area not to mention, youll be paying extra shipping prices from companies to get some parts piece by piece. rusman will ship the whole deal. if someone (like mkluak) said he could fab something up for less than a 100 for wilwoods, then we save ourselves 150 bucks. |
Tough crowd, when did this place become as brutal as miata.net? Thanks spike for covering the q&a for me. Check Chikara's site for pricing, not a huge bargain going on here but it is a deal non the less. The price has also dropped since they were introduced due to the dollar's changing on each side of the border.
The reason I'm selling these without lines/calipers/pads/lines/etc is because most people bitch about the price of a full kit and try to source out cheaper alternatives for the other parts. As spike said, Summit Racing is a great source for most of what's needed, if you have a hookup somewhere cheaper, then you're free to go that route instead. |
badboy88000,you have a point about price......but none of the other alternatives(Rusman & Mkulak)have yet to materialize,so right now your choices are,(a)buy brackets that are already available,(b)spend your time & research and make your own brackets and hope they work,or(c)be a cheap fuck and not do any of the above.

These are aluminum if I recall... are they anodized or bare?

Billet steel is alot stronger and more rigid than the other caliper brackets currently available,which are made from billet aluminum. |
Al is lighter though.
Sorry, just wanted to add something negative myself. This sounds like a pretty good deal though, I'd certainly would have entertained this offer when I was shopping around. If they were any cheaper I'd redo my brakes just to be able to run wil's |
