I've learned that the ebay brand Callahan is made by Powerstop Brakes, out of Bedford Park, IL.

This is humorous because Callahan was the ficticious company in the movie Tommy Boy from 1994 lol..
Anyway, they get great reviews and look at the price:

Nice find! Looks like this is the rotor I'll be going with.


EDIT: $115 for shipping. Somebody's making money off of that #. But $248 for a set of rotors isn't too bad.

And many of these brands guys are simply 'branded' items form Centric who is the true importer. And ultimately the producer of them. Centric sells under a variety of labels. Anyone who think that there are truly 6-10 companies "making rotors" is foolish. On the other hand...probably 10-15 of them making them look pretty and boxing them up for consumption by the public! lol

long term?

Anybody put some miles on this setup?

 

[Zack]

Callahan rotors came yesterday.....incredible quality for $135 shipped.
Winning!

I don't think any of the 20 bracket buyers have even installed this yet.

Nope. And won't until next spring, unfortunately.

Wait for after this upcoming weekend for Logizyme's review. He should be installing his brakes today or tomorrow, then autocrossing his Marauder on Sunday

Received the brackets the other day. Outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for making this possible!

Very shiney! Looks good, I'll be installing tomorrow. I'll take some pics and try to write up an install guide.

I can't believe I missed the second run. I hope there's another, I want to do this over the winter.

Its like this:

Open up the bore on the GT500 rotor, grind spindle until bracket clears, bolt everything on.

Done.

For some of us shade tree mechanics, can you post a pic of the area of the rotor that needs to be opened up? I guess if I was in the process of installing this setup it would be more clear. Don't flame me too bad. [emoji22]

After looking back at the pics it's actually pretty clear what needs to be opened up, duuhh. That's what lack of sleep does for me. Not sure what I was thinking.
