They are finally here! I am having the brackets locally made. They will be annodized black for corrosion resistance and look.

Cost:
5 or more sets are $260 each set + shipping
Individual sets are $370 each + $40 annodizing (optional) + shipping

As you can see it is advantageous for us to do a group buy.

These will fit in a flat rate box, so I plan to ship USPS priority unless requested otherwise on an individual basis.

If you want a set, add your name to the list<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Frits brackets used different bolts, but I'm also planning on getting the holes made in a way, where they use the bolts from the PBK and the existing bolts from the M5 bracket. It just makes things easier.

Wondering the same thing.

I am very interested at 5+ price. When would you need us to commit by and how and where would we pay?

If it's not too late . . .

. . . and is this only for the front or are talking rear brackets also?

It isn't too late yet, I will post when it is for the first run.

All these are are for the fronts, I am not looking at the rears at all. I did the bias calcs and designed for just putting these on the front and the setup is closer to optimal than stock.

If someone sends me the complete rear setup, I can calculate the system and see if it will even work without a master cylinder or proportioning valve swap/add and then design a bracket.

There's no thread about that yet. I'll post it up in the main thread and create a seperate purchase thread, once the pricing/production details are finalized.

That loogs great!

Nice! Are the group buy ones going to be anodized or it is $40 extra to get them anodized?

UPDATE!
The bracket will work as-is, but requires part of the spindle to be ground/cut. It is more than I feel comfortable doing, in the event I want to convert back to stock. The problem, however, can be fixed! I took some new measurements and will have another test bracket made this week.

So excited to get this to work, but want to do it right :tonquesmilie:

Just to clarify was this the area you were talking about having to grind with the first test bracket and now with the second bracket there is no need to grind this area? Or was this some other fitment issue and we should still plan on grinding here as per fritz's install install instructions?
