Default BREMBO 4 PISTON CALIPERS on CSX4000

Anyone here using BREMBO 4 piston calipers on a CSX4000? Where did you get the brackets? Or did you fabricate the caliper brackets?
I need a set of brackets. Thanks, Karl

My racing buddy runs Brembo 4 piston calipers you might want to email him to find out where he got his brackets. Tell him I suggested you contact him.

Default No luck yet.

Hello Clois, Lew emailed and I tried Levy Racing with no luck. Any other ideas? There are photos of different cobras with the 4 piston BREMBO calipers on this site. Where are the caliper brackets coming from?
Thanks for the help, Karl

I upgraded from Girling to Brembo 4 piston brakes on CSX4083. Finish Line Motorsports in Las Vegas did the work. They offer several variations of upgrades to the 4000 series cars. I went with the mid level upgrade which still provides a parking brake. The all out race upgrade does not.

The main improvement is that the new brakes have virtually no fade on the track.

You might want to try Tom's Motorsports in Las Vegas.
Tom is quite familiar with these cars and once upon a time worked at Finish Line.
I can't speak highly enough of the work he did for me!
