    Does anyone know if these work with the same caliper that's on the front of the GXPs?

    The GXP front Brembos, Camaro and CTS-V as well, are much bigger than the rear Brembos that these brackets are designed for. You need the Camaro or CTS-V rear Brembos.

    Looks like Wade is not offering these anymore. Does anyone else offer making the brackets?

    Yup, found out a couple days ago that he isn't going to be doing these anymore. Somebody else needs to pick these up and start churning them out!

    I had a few local fab shops quote them for me... raw and powder coated. The only way I can meet current pricing is to get them raw, at a nominal material thickness, and order 50 sets. If I had my own laser and mill it would be worth getting into but it's not paying someone else's rates.

    I haven't looked at the diagrams or anything so pardon my ignorance but could a water jet do this for just the raw cuts? What else would be necessary ie beveling, etc? Only reason I ask is because I have access to a water jet.

    Yeah a water jet or laser will cut the profile, holes, and tap drill holes just fine. The finished thickness falls 0.012" short of 7/16" thick raw material. That's where the mill comes in to play. Does 0.012" really matter? I don't know... the beveling is not necessary but makes starting bolts easier. The tapping can really be done by hand but that would suck. Here were my numbers I got finished powder coated. I would still need to include hardware though.

    "Phil, Quote for this using 7/16’’ 1018 CF mat. 10 pcs @ $66.59 ea 30 pcs @ $57.65 ea 50 pcs @ $55.89 ea. Plus tax. Powder coated any of our stock black colors. Delv. 3-4 weeks aro. Thanks, Rick."
