I was thinking about this last night.

This kit, when it fits, will fit...

GK's.
RD's.
XG350's
Sorentos.
Santa Fe's.
Kia Souls.

Anything that can use the XG350 kit can use these.

Right?

as long as the xg350 kit can use the stock bracket mounts i would think. i have a hunch it would fit with the stock wheels too, there is plenty of room with my 16" ones with just the mock with safety wire i did. the other cool thing is that if you want to go with a higher diameter rotor. you would just need a caliper bracket offset the difference in the radius from the original one. no real redesigning necessary, which is the tough part in the beginning.

bill, the caliper bracket converts the vehicle specific stock caliper mounting locations to accommodate the 3.5" center to center mounting of this specific caliper. it takes care of the front to rear offset(x offset), while spacers take care of the side to side offset(y).

it will be like this, but machined out of 3/8" plate. 1/4" is probably fine, but i want to make it beefy. the spacers needed will be made from round bar. all hardware is/will be grade 8.

XG350 kit is completely bolt on, and yeah, it uses the stock mounts on the hub/knuckle. Yeah, I'm about 90% sure this would fit all the others.

Thinking about the prices of the BBK I did and this, if these were sold for this same price or so, it is much more worth it.

problem is, i'm not sure it can be sold for this much unless distributors get a pretty substantial wholesale discount. you can check out the part numbers in here on a revolution/precision brakes price list and the kit would probably add up...

(numbers off the top of my head for msrp's)
calipers 160 x 2 = 320
rotors 50 x 2 = 100
rotor hats 125 x 2 = 250
pads 75
brake lines = 25 x 2
fittings ~ 30
hardware ~ 40


i'll have to get on making measurements for the caliper brackets after i catch up on sleep.

sorry don't wanna ruin any sale but tanc, i think the hats are on jegs for $90, if this is the correct part number http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/170-1754/10002/-1

edit: i think i was looking at a 2005 thread for the part#, i think he used the 170-6996 finally which is this one http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/170-6996/10002/-1

that's fine man, if you can find them cheaper then please post. i'm not trying to pull a fast one on anybody. i'll have to double check part numbers when i get home, looks like i may have confused myself and others by posting two different part numbers for the hats.

Yeah i think i read that other part# in an older thread.

Here's a free bump from someone who has done his research on wilwood kits, your offer here for a complete kit is impossible to beat, would really get it myself if I had the cash right now.
