I got a set of machined rear caliper adapters off of eBay...

Tried doing a purchase history search in my eBay account but I believe I bought it back in 2017... and tried a new search to see if there are any around.

No luck...

........................................................................................................................................................

I liked this kit, it included a set of bolts to bolt the adapter to original axle spindle/mounting tab. Then it re-uses the OE bolt to mount the caliper onto the adapter.
No need to disconnect the brake hoses or disassembling axle shafts.

Ordered a set of StopTech cross-drilled/slotted cryo rotors [13/14 GT500]. I ended up just retaining the OE pads but picked up a set of EBC "Red" pads just in-case.

They are available because I bought a set and am running 13-14 rotors on the rear of my 07

The guy was out of NC but he was slowing production down and this was many years ago

Just a intermediate bracket to extend the OEM caliper out to accomodate the larger rotor

heres the link to the part

I purchased a set off Ebay. Had no issued with them. However, ended up upgrading to Eradispeed two piece rotors which came with adapters. I just sold the rear adapters I bought from Ebay. I tried to find them on Ebay, but couldn't fine the ad.

I would assume all a ‘07-12 would need would be factory ‘13-14 caliper brackets and rotors. Calipers are the same.

It’s as much an aesthetic upgrade as a functional one. The stockers look way too small on a 20” rim.
Its only an aesthetic. And if you are changing the rears only then it might hurt function not improve it.
I'm not saying don't do it, just don't do it for the wrong reasons.

Agree with what several others stated - This is an aesthetic mod, not a functional one. I have been using the brackets for about 4.5 Years and about 40K miles. DD + 2-3 HPDE days per year and they work great. You get a little bit of advantage of extra area for heat dissipation with the '13-'14 bigger rotors, but it's minor and really has no performance advantage on the street.

If you want to stop quicker, get better tires and upgrade to a Auto-X pad (for the street)...the trade-off is more noise and dust. Unless you are really pushing the limits of the car, most brake upgrades and not worth the cost.

My only concern is if they hold up during HPDE and AutoX, it sounds like it does.

Larger braking surface area and it does look better.

Hello all, I am looking to see if anyone knows where to get the adapters to run 13/14 rear rotors on a 11/12 I have seen them for sale every now and then just not where they came from.

Thanks in advance

Any idea where I can find the caliper adapters so that I can use the 13.8 rear rotors on my 2014?
