Light weight calipers

Does anybody know of a light weight aluminum caliper to bolt to the factory mounts on a fox?

seen a few up at Duffy's and i think they had the Strange stuff on them, My kit I bougt had the caliper and pads, spindle and rotor.

REM coated bearings and oil bath lubed bearings are awesome...............

X2 on strange.

Thanks guys , trying to pick some weight off the car, those cast iron calipers are heavy.

Strange for me as well. Mine are still in the box though. I have fooled with a few sets from Aerospace as well.

Will yours bolt to the factory brackets?

Yes. You need to modify the factory spindle in regards to removing the dust shield and drilling some holes larger and tapping them.

i WILL CHECK THEM OUT.

crap

Can you get me the part number ?

I have Aerospace on mine. The Strange are a lot easier to package than the Aerospace. The Aerospace are good though, just kind of a pain dealing with the spacers.

I have Lincoln mark seven spindles and rotors on mine, don't know if that matters.

You might need to switch back to some regular Fox spindles. I'm about to buy some Racecraft or PA Racing spindles for mine to go with the Strange brakes. I still have the SN95 stuff on the front and it doesn't allow my wheels to fit.


http://www.strangeengineering.net/ Page 98 is all the part numbers. I'm using the B4142WC kit. I'm switching to the 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern

Thanks

I'm going with Strange also to cut down on some weight, but I haven't made up my mind yet on who's spindle to use. The stock spindle is 11 lbs., Racecraft's is 5.4 lbs., and PA's is 4.5 lbs. from what I can find out. Both Racecraft and PA are available with 2" drop, but the PA is also available in stock height. On the other hand Racecraft has the steering arm dropped 1" which would also allow me to lose the bump steer spacer on the rod end. Decisions, decisions .

I think PA has a spindle with a dropped arm too. I'm running his kmember with a dropped pinto rack. That's why I planned to use his spindle. He mentioned it would all line up real nice.

I just got a reply from PA about the weight on their spindles,

They weight no more than 6.5lbs each.

i run the aerospace deal on my and love them ........ i need to ck on those light weight spindles

I've had excellent luck dealing with Jason at PA in the past.

UPS delivered my Ultralight spindles from Racecraft today, very nice pieces. Still waiting on the Strange brakes.

Those are sweet Doug................ I need a set of them do the come in a drop spindle?

Yes, these are 2" dropped.

Doug ,
what else do you have to change with there spindles ? will my existing brakes/struts/a-arms work with those ?

Struts and A-arms should, I don't know about your brakes. You might need to call them. The brakes I ordered are their part #330013 for the Ultralight spindle.

What PN are those?

P/N 300116.

Nick, you have Aerospace brakes, right. They have a hub kit that converts your 79-93 Mustang Aerospace Brake Kit to fit the Racecraft Inc. Lightweight 2" Drop Spindle 300116. Like I said, it might be a good idea to call.
