Has any body seen these or have any experience with them? The new ad from Just Suspension mentions them. I couldn't find any info on their site, so I googled it and came up with a PDF file of installation instructions. They work on the 8 3/4 rear end with the factory tapered roller bearings. I emailed Just Suspension to find more info/pricing, but haven't heard back from them yet. Anybody have a valid link? Thanks.

Looked over those instructions.

That is not a Brembo kit. That is a Just Suspension kit using Brembo calipers. Pretty cobbled together setup too if you ask me.

Here is what the the Engineering Manager for all of Brembo North America had to say:

"Ugly for sure, and pistons are way too big for a rear system. It’s just dangerous. They should not be using our logo either, that is for sure. Thanks for sending me this. I’m going to look into it."

I was kind of wondering about that.

Seriously, it doesn't look any different than wht Ford did on their Lincoln cars with the 9" rear end, except, you might want to weld down that bracket way out in the middle of the tube. It looks like the pistons apply on one side of the rotor, which would accelerate rotor wear and warpage. Unless I am mistaken. doesn't look full floating. But it still lets you use the factory tapered bearings. Richard E should be all over this discussing the pros and cons. The only other thing out there is the dreaded GREEN Bearing. Just wanted some feedback. Thanks.

The caliper bracket hanging off bolts and spacers is really disturbing. I have done some cheesey stuff myself but I don't like that at all.

I had to build brackets to mount my 8 piston Brembos. It wasn't that hard to do and it's FAR more secure than that garbage.

They simply used the wrong caliper. There are others available with a mounting bracket that will fit the instalation better.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

My rear disc brake kits use OEM tapered or Green sealed wheel bearings.
