Big brakes and wheel bearing question

More info on those pics!!

266mm 88-89 Gallant rotors, BG Escort calipers, Mazda B2200 wheel studs. The hubs ears are machined to a tight fit to the Gallant rotors. No more captured rotors and bigger brakes to boot and you keep the 4x114. This would be the same for the Capri front knuckles. The rear set up on this GTX is moot to the Festiva. The GTX weighs in at around 2400 lbs. For the Festiva though I see the Aspire swap as the best option for the same design (losing the captured rotor crap) for the cost and labor outlay...and you can go to 4x100 for a wider choice of wheels. Your cars are not that heavy and a good set of pads will stop it fine.

This setup fits Festiva/Aspire/Capri hubs?

Thanks,

Will fit the Capri hubs/uprights for sure...no info on the Festiva/Aspire. Ask Charlie, he would know.

The rotors could possibly be made to fit modified Festiva hubs, but you'd need something custom for calipers. This won't fit the aspire, because the aspire is 4x100. These brakes are nice if you have a capri swap and you have to do brakes and bearings soon. It's not any more expensive than freshening up the stock stuff with new parts and it gives you some massive brakes, but it's kinda overkill on a Festiva. The Aspire/Rio swap is the best bang for your buck in my opinion on our cars. Clays car does have some serious stopping power though. I drove it on sunday and all I had to do was think about putting my foot on the brake and it was already slowing down. lol.
