This is my old brake setup for a dana 80. The stock drum brake setup weighs 120lbs and this weighs 12lbs. These have great clearance and easily clear 16inch real wheels with deep backspacing.

Will come with srw hubs, wilwood rotors, wilwood calipers, haisley axle studs, and bearings that have 10hooks on them. You will need to make a bracket to weld to the axle to mount the caliper. I used 1/4 plate.

$800 shipped

This would be sweet, but id rather have a little more caliper, since I'm trying to slow down at the end of the strip.
 
Looks like the disk mounts are welded to the hub, then the disk bolts to the mount.
 
Theres a 1/4 plate with bolt pattern welded to the hub. Then the disk bolts to the hub. Also a braket weld to axle for cailper mount. This is why the hubs go with the brakes.
 
I know the axle studs new are $150, so where does the rest of the cost come from? I'm sure you have at least as much in it as you are asking but I'm curious what everything would cost individually.

You want idividual prices go do your own searching and build it yourself. Im losing money on this so i can go to my new setup. You can save a ton of weight and rotational mass with this setup.
 
If I wanted to grill you on a parts list I would've asked where to get them. If I were to do it I would put a set of 4 wheeler brakes on.

Really cause a price list would give you the same thing.

So you posted on a forsale ad just so you could say you would do it different not that you wanted to buy them. I appreciate it thanks.
 
I would buy this set if I had drums, but I already have stock disc brake option, so I wouldn't save near as much weight. It looks like a great setup and worth the money.
 
Sorry for my ignorance, but... I have a DRW 80, are the SRW and DRW hubs/parts interchangeable to some degree?

Being a prick will only get you so far in life. Good luck. I could care less about your secret brake system, not like I can't figure it out myself. I was just curious is all.
