OK..?? Are there Only Gen 1's out there?? Has NO one already done the '96 upgrade?? LoL Alot to consider....That's why the "option" is there.
In fact there are 2 options...1 for used knuckles at the price you posted $190.00, and a 2nd for Rebuilt knuckles for $315.00.

We are still looking into it as it not very easy to do as the calipers and brackets come as a unit. It leaves us with parts that we cant use.
Is there a reason you want just the brackets? Just so we know whats going on and work things out.
The 12" kits for a Gen1 does require knuckles unless you have previously upgraded them.

First off, I always thought that the "12" inch upgrade was just 11.6" rotors w/ Cobra calipers....if I'm wrong please tell me what type of rotors are used / where I can get them.
Secondly, and no offense because I really like most of your merchandise, but why is $620 a "sale" price for this upgrade. New Mach 1 calipers, brackets and pads are $190 shipped to your door, new rotors range between $25 and $45 a piece at any parts store, and the machine shop work to the brackets couldn't cost more than $100 for both. $450 + shipping would be much more reasonable and probably still net you $100 profit on each kit sold. Also, why are used knuckles $190
I really like what you guys are offering, I just want to know why the markup on this brake kit seems so high??

The 12" kit is a 12" not a 11.6". They are turned down 13" rotors.
The price is because of turning down the rotors, machining the brackets, engraving "SHO" into them, and painting them. They originally cost $700.
We dont get much profit out of it.

NJSHO still looking into it.

That makes sense, I wasn't aware the rotors were turned down and re-drilled 13-inch pieces.
I would rather have a price cut than SHO on them though

Yup, when I was looking for a shop to cut down 13" rotors to 12.5" I couldn't even find anyone to do it. Once place said they'd have to see the rotors first, and even then it would be "several hundred".
I went with 2 piece rotors from Todd because it was the only option at the time that had a known price. The lighter weight was a very nice bonus too.

Sorry, I really thought that the rotors were really the 11.6" units from the 3rd gen. To my knowledge the 11.6" brakes will work with this setup though (1 forum member who I met at a local AutoX is running the setup.)
Sorry,
PM was to LoudSHO to help sort out what parts we can and can't offer.
