I Was looking for a better brake set up for my Avenger, and had some calipers layin around the house, so I decided to buy some rotors and play with cadd, and this is what I came up with.

The front uses 6 piston Wilwood SL6 hub mount calipers w/ thermlock pistons. Baer Eradispeed 2 piece Front rotors 13" * 1.26"

The Rear uses 4 Piston Wilwood dynalite hub mount calipers w/ thermlock pistons (same calipers Wilwood uses in the 2g FRONT kit. Baer Eradispeed 2 piece Rear Rotors 11.8" * .866"

I also used Russell 3an hose and made my own Brake hoses attached to factory Hard lines.

here are some pictures feel free to discuss.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Since there seems to be some interest in the Suspension, I'll post up some pics of it. I pre-assembled most of it before installing it, so ill post up what I have, pre- installation.





i made my own aluminum subframe bushings... i have a close up for anyone interested.
