Great work!!! Sure there will be more stuff to dial in, but where you got allready deserves respect

Looking good! I cant wait to see it done. I like the fact that it fits with the Stock 15".

Well, I have put about 400 miles on it the last two days, and all I can say is WOW! I love it! I have tried to lock them up with no luck, and e-brake works great. Very pleased so far. I did run to about 50mph and slam the brake. The ABS seams to be working fine and no ABS light! I drove about 150 miles yesterday in the rain, again with no lockup issues. So I think everything will be a go on the kits in the next couple weeks.

WOW man this is so awsome. I so would love to buy one of these setups. but I need to know if camber would work on this setup cause I need the camber for my wheels. also do you know of any other ways to make a 5 lug conversion on our cars cause I have been looking into it and thought you might have some info I could use. if you want pm me please I am in need of this 5 lug conversion bad

Glad to hear that you will be making a kit. Any idea how much it will run? Wouldn't mind running one and I'm close enough I could always drive down and pick it up.

Mike is the Don, and one of the few who has the cojones to ship to the UK!!! I am well up for this when he puts up a price..I hate the thought of drums let alone have to live with them....

hummm . . . . . pink wilwood . . . . .

AirecK · 03-19-2008, 06:07 AM

nice its done..now we wait for pricing...
and yeah on that camber issue....we needs to know!!

Rcurry23 · 03-19-2008, 09:15 AM

I'm not 100% on the camber issues. No one around here runs camber on their xB. The caliper bracket mount is 1/2" or 12.7mm thick, so I don't know if stacking the camber plate with the caliper bracket mount will work.

Wow, lot,s of time and effort put into this.Cant wait to hear your final results and release date.

ah man 12.7 mm thats it. it will work it sounds like it. I run a -3 with a 10mm shim and I sit perfect. 2.7mm wont make that much of a difference. I can just get the flat part of my camber plat milled off 2.7mm.

I seriously hope you get these produced. More I think about it the more I want it :P

Wow, can't wait to hear when this is available! Hmm, maybe I should wait on rebuilding my whole rear axle. WAIT, I can't go another day w/o driving my box! Let me know when its ready to ship!

Rcurry23 · 03-27-2008, 10:02 PM

I am waiting on a couple more items to get quoted then a final cost will be determined.
Thanks again,
Mike

deezelium · 04-04-2008, 02:46 PM

Mike just wanted to let you know I installed the 15mm spacers on my bB tiday. They fit a treat and make a big difference to the look. I took a punt getting them because I thought the hub might be slightly different but all good...worth knowing because it should mean the brake kit will be all good too!!!! cheers my man

uprising · 04-04-2008, 07:20 PM

thats sick! l cant wait to hear how much itll cost im most definately interested

Rcurry23 · 04-04-2008, 07:29 PM

I now have all the quotes in and it looks like it will be under $800, but that has yet to be determined. Should have the first run of kits ready in a couple weeks.

SAKURA · 04-05-2008, 11:32 PM

Thats next! At least I hope it will be.

Rcurry23 · 04-09-2008, 11:45 PM

Ok, this install and testing is officially done. I do have to replace the brake lines still, but that is minor. The kit has done what I wanted it to, so its time to move on to the next project. For those that are interested, please PM me for more information, as I am about to start running the parts on the machining centers. Thanks for following along and being so patient.
