Jeff,

When I spoke to zbrembo they told me there is No catalog item for Brembo C 4 brakes. They are cobbled together from existing off the shelf stuff. Callaway was the primary customer for these brakes.

Did you talk to Callaway about them?

I am just curious who made these one off kits for our cars

I spoke w Brembo. They were the ones that told me. I did call Callaway and was told they had put these brakes together but they didn't support them anymore.

Jeff, Reeves was a Porsche guy before he came over to GM. It would probably be a good idea to join a Porsche forum.

Not for nothing. Reeves is "THE" man. In reality , Reeves has been pissed off about the reality of GM putting the technology into the LT5 instead of spearheading his TT engine's in the C4.

IMO, GM made the right choice. And frankly Reeves was on the wrong side of a political situation. After all, GM owned Lotus and how could Callaway expect to be included in the same sentence as Lotus? Really?
You want to play w the big guys, you're gonna get singed.

OK cool, the front ones I got from you are from Call away, guess I can call them about the others, I don't need support, just want to know where they originated

Thanks, I found out those spacers go between the knuckle and the housing pictured

Suggestion on a forum?
