After discussing it with the manufacturer, we've decided to offer an introductory price break for this batch of brackets.

For all orders from now until August 15, pricing will be as follows:

RCS-001 Adapter brackets w/bolts, instructions, and GM parts list $249.00 Shipping will be an additional $10 per set.

RCS-002 Adapters w/complete GM parts kit $825 shipped.

For those that order just the brackets, we will supply a complete list of parts needed to complete the conversion so you can source them from your favorite GM parts dealer.

Howdy Chris,

Looking forward to getting the brackets. Thanks for the GM Parts List. I am going to check with my parts guy on the parts as you suggested. I didn't look on your site, but do you sell braided brake lines?

Thanks.

I told you they were awesome I wouldn't sell it (and therefore have my name associated with it) if it wasn't a kick butt product. Bob Bishop (Racing Systems) deserves a huge pat on the back for putting so much effort into getting these brackets perfect and for bringing such a great product to market in the first place.

I believe in this product because we are providing a system that is 25% to 50% cheaper than other 2 piston caliper, 13" rotor designs while delivering basically equal performance. It uses all GM parts which are easy to get and inexpensive when compared to the replacement cost of other brand systems. And, the adapter brackets are, in effect, over engineered, which gives me great peace of mind. Both the manufacturer (Bob) and the vendor (me) for these brakes run them on our personal cars, so I think that says a lot about the product.

P.S. Doug, I don't carry any braided lines. Sorry

Will this bracket work for the F-Body LS1 caliper?

 

Thanks Chris.

I will check into the other sponsors. I do like the firmer pedal myself.

Carlos, I'm actually researching that today. If so one could upgrade to the C5 rotor for under $400 (set of brackets, two rotors @ about $50 each, and two C5 hoses).

 

We have yet to test fit them on a car, but I took some measurements Saturday and it looks like the LS1 caliper will work provided one of two things happen: You use C5 pad abutment brackets instead of LS1 units, or we make a run of brackets drilled for the smaller LS1 pad abutment bracket bolts. We will probably go with the latter of those two simply because it saves the customer more money not having to buy C5 abutment brackets. We will need to prototype them on a car first, though.

I can't recommend sticking with the LS1 caliper if you are going to use the car competitively for road racing, the caliper will flex over time. The C5 caliper is simply much better for that purpose, but for a good looking, better stopping street upgrade, using the LS1 caliper would be fine.
