Awesome cheers buddy. Is that a big single piston caliper?

Ok Ryan, the Elantra(99,03) knuckle, caliper mount bolt holes are 130mm center to center. This apply's to the Tib(99,04) as well since im using a Tib caliper. The LC Accent is 140mm center to center, figured id throw that in as its not yet mentioned in this sticky post.

Mounting went well, alignment specs are so close, front of the wheel toed out just a bit, camber im not really sure of since I have a camber bolt already in there but its can be adjusted easily back to spec. Caster seems to be in spec as well. Only one hurdel left to jump, the pivot bolt coming out of the lower control arm does not fit very good. Im gunna grab an Elantra one and see if it will fit into the Accent control arm.



Now for some numbers, I noticed the hybrid assembly I put together weighs a ton. 39.50 lbs (17.92kg) and thats with half worn pads and a used rotor. The Accent weighed in at 23.55 (10.68kg), new pads only weeks old but a rotor that been turned at least 3 times. Also the caliper portion that houses the piston was not in this measurement, feeling by hand id say another 5 pounds so about 28.5 lbs. I am going to hunt down Tib SE calipers and cross drilled/slotted rotors for some weight savings. Now for some pics...

Lookin good! Thanks for the level of detail.

So have you driven the car yet? How does it feel???



I couldn't get all the bits I was going to use but I did manage to get both knuckles, so I will try and press mine out tommorrow... Slide Hammer no good you say???

Slide hammer lol... not saying it cant be done but JESUS that will be a serious job. The bearing finally started to move out after passing 3,000-3,500 pounds of pressure on the gauge of the press I was using. Once they broke loose it was about 1,500 pounds to keep them moving. As far as test drive that has not happened yet, yesterday was just a mock up and alignment inspection. Once I address the lower control arm pivot bolt then i will begin collecting parts. Also my epoxy resin should be in so I am gunna jump off this project for a short bit to finish up another project im working on for Floyd.

Why didn't you use the calipers from a XG350, aren't them 11" and two pistons?

In reality my stock brakes work just fine, the bigger brakes are gunna make my car look better and hopefully brake better. Also my 10 inch rear rotors being bigger then my 9 inch front rotors looks kinda funny. 2 piston calipers would be cool but weight is my major concern right now. Im gunna go with the lightweight Tib calipers from an SE model and cross drilled/slotted rotors. I want to get this assembly as light as possible cause 12 pounds of unsprung and rotational weight on each side of the car is not cool.

What are the weights?
