Default 00-05 Accent Rear Disc Brake Swap Brackets

I have got into contact with AJ, the guy who made my caliper brackets for the rear disc conversion on my 02 Accent. I am wondering how many people are interested in getting there hands on a set? I have no pricing info at this point, just needing to get a show of hands of who is interested. If there is interest and movement in this bracket then i will use the first set available on my car to create a Swap Guide with pics so you all know how to throw it together.

if the price is somewhat decent I'd be up for a set. I upgrade stuff as it needs replacing on my accent, and the rear brakes are due to be changed soon. Disc brakes are so much easier to service than drums, i'd be willing to make the swap just for that reason alone. If you're willing to ship to Canada......... LMK.



edit- what caliper, disc and pad did you use? I'm too lazy/wasted to search!?

All brake parts came from a 2001 Tiburon if I remember the year correctly

Bump... AJ is on vacation for the next nine days, in the mean time we will meet up and go over the original brackets he made for me. There are some small changes I want to see carried over to the new brackets. Also we will be creating some hub-centric rings to center the rotor on the hub If you are like me and want to keep the 4x100 bolt pattern.



EDIT

Pricing may change, AJ's boss is gunna charge for use of the machines for this product

Tib Rotors drilled to 4x100. There is going to be a hub centric ring developed to center the rotor on the Accent hub.
