He said it would take an order of about 12 sets. I'd be down to buy 2 or 3 to have until I get sick of 11.75" Brakes. I've got a set of Firm Feel Carbon Metallic and I'd like to have more options. I've got no idea of pricing yet. The HPS is priced around $60. http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/hpplus.php Let me know if anyone would like to go in on this.

I'm going to push the 11.75's until I'm ready for a Dr. Diff kit. My Build thread: Let the hemi swap begin! 1968 wanna be pro touring whatchamacallit with some fancy stuff and a new roof skin.

I trust moparts members and wouldn't mind keeping them all until I get payment and ship them out one by one. I'm expecting an email with the quantity needed and pricing any day now.

Would love to stay 15 inch wheels but not a lot of extreme perfomance summer tires in that size. Mostly 17 or 18 inch sizes 73 `Cuda Instagram: @rylispro YouTube: RylisPro www.rylispro.com 925-214-9192

An HP+ with a single piston caliper and a 12.2" rotor stops my 3300 lb GTI Like a champ. I've had a 14" brembo 4 piston on the car and it stopped amazingly well. Good pads even with the single caliper would do well for even the majority of the aggressive street drivers and light HPDE people here. I will end up with a Dr. Diff kit, but for now pads would solve a lot of problems.

I'll have to step up to a different caliper to get a good pad. Sad, but true.
