Hmmmm - the two in the center look remarkably similar...........?

Yeah I don't carry Ed's kit anymore! The deal of DPI distributing power parts is no longer available. Sorry!

and fixed.

Might as well go there. In regards to the top option. How important is stopping to you? When you have an issue stopping and call the vendor are you ok with being told the failure is because of the rear spring cup height? Or because you are not running 8mm taylor plug wires? Just saying....... Or that the cartel sneaked into your garage, removed the calipers, made tiny incisions along the piston seals and reassembled without you even knowing?

All joking aside. There is no way he has tested this arrangement. This probably bolts up "close" and is in no way shape or form sized for application. As I have been telling everyone that contacts me and asks about DAP parts. If you want to cheap out and use junk go right ahead.

No complaints from the rebuilt and powder coated set from Josh & DPI. Been vary happy, and the powder coating still looks like new. Consider his offering:

Mine came powder coated gold.

Red stuff pads on stock calipers are your best bang for your buck.

If you are looking for a set of copper washers for the fuel system, or a couple cans of freeze 12 - you will probably be okay - but none oem brakes from DAP? No way, no how, not at ANY price...

If anyone does go this way, I'd be interested in working with you to secure a term (12 month?) life insurance policy with me as the beneficiary.

Josh,

I tried the wildwood four piston calipers about 15 years ago on one of my Delorean's and I found the four piston calipers to have to much power for the car ie they would lock up. I did try them with both the original brake bias and the aftermarket 50/50 bias on the brake master cyl with no change. I am using them now on the EV delorean as I have added a lot more weight to the car and most of that is in the front end. In regards to the drilled front brake rotors all I have seen have been home brew drilling and they tend to make a grinding noise when the brakes are applied.
