Disc Brake Conversions Using OEM Components

FMJ's and all the other donor cars are great for obtaining parts for sure. As for GM calibers and Toyota rotors. Well I think the calibers are made by kelsey hayes brakes. They are made for GM not by GM. And before anyone gets their panties all in a bunch I do not care a bit for GM and not standing up for them. Hayes has made brakes for all companies. And for Japan vehicles whether you like them or not they just work and have very few problems with hundreds of thousand of miles on their cars. After reading several sites about scarebird I find that their innovative ideas they are doing just makes since. If you are looking to do an upgrade of brakes only, why would you want to go through all the trouble of looking for a donor. Then you have to disassemble that one, either on your terms or the salvage yard. If they have done the work for you then great, but if not well you have a lot of time, fuel and whatever it cost even maybe loosing a tool here or there and then stopping somewhere to have things cleaned up or buy double the cleaner from the store. "because you still have your car to clean" Then the trouble hoping everything works okay. Buying a whole driver car for 450.00 makes since if you need more than just the front end. Then you have to get rid of it after all the parting out and hoping you get some money back for it. As for taking stuff to a machine shop the only thing I can see that you would need to do at all is to have a good drill press and a small bit die grinder. They give you the template to drill the rotors. It depends on if you have enough confidence in your own work to do them kind of things. There are pros and cons to both. But mainly it was about the use of their product and who has used them.

Just my two cent.
