[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 14945797, member: 141815"] Thanks Currie Enterprises makes a caliper mounting bracket to retain the stock calipers with the 9" axle bearings housings, but it utilizes the smaller 12.8" diameter rotors of the 05-12 model year cars. The only other alternatives that I seem to be finding that uses a 14" diameter rotor seems to be a complete full floater hub conversion from Baer Brakes or a 9" axle bearing conversion that CorteX Racing utilizing a Brembo brake kit with Currie supplying the axles. CorteX is using Currie for the axle housing modification and Currie is requiring CorteX customers to buy a complete new axle housing to start the project. Both of these conversions are expensive with total costs being roughly $9K for each of them. Also the Baer full floater conversion uses a double splined axle that is free to float in and out from the floater wheel hub to differential. The problem with this is the axle can move inward too far and destroy the differential if you're using a Gleason or Wavetrac. Baer is working on a solution, but it is months away from being available for purchase I was hoping you knew of a simpler and less costly alternative to retain the stock rear 13.8" rotors and calipers for matching the larger 15" brakes on the front of the 13/14 cars, while eliminating the stock 8.8 C-clip axle retention system for safety.
