I contacted Lee about a 280mm BBK the other day but he told me US tariffs are keeping him from producing the caliper adapter brackets. Disappointing cause I liked how his kit fit 15" euroweaves. Apparently retrofitting RX7 calipers don't fit euroweaves either.

Dynalite calipers are under $260USD a pair (I prefer Dynapro 120-9703 calipers though)
VW G60 rotors are under $60USD a pair from Raybestos
Wilwood BP20 pads are around $50USD
Do the math for the price of the brackets. ;-)
And yes, I am currently out of adapters for the 280x22mm kit. Only waiting to see how the price of aluminum will stabilize. But don't worry, I will still offer the kit after Christmas. It might be 10% more expensive though ;-) And I am one of many shops in North America being hit with higher price of steel (25%) and aluminum (10%). Be it US, Canadian or even Chinese material. ;-)Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

If that is expendive, check this out: https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...spx?noredirect
EDIT Oh they don't have price anymore... well it has been between 1200-1300 usd previously...
I'm personally using e38 4-pot brembos skimmed down for 22mm brake disk and mini cooper r50 294x22mm brake disk. Those has cost less than 200usd for me so plenty of money saved :D Still need to do the adapters.

I have Lee's street kit. I love it and they do fit fine under euroweaves. Running stock master and pedal feel is nice, although I wish it had a little more pedal travel than it does.
I'll probably be upgrading to the larger kit in the future as the s52 swap is getting some more go fast bits.

One important component that is missing from the silvermotorsport kit is the 1,5mm wheel spacers with 66mm bore as they are needed when using Corrado rotors. A BMW hat is 7mm thick. The VW hat is 6mm thick. Many wheels don't sit properly on the hub and get wobbly. Unless they have a larger bevel on the hub's perimeter.Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

Lee are you certain that you'll be offering the brackets once again? I want to take advantage of the Black Friday deals going on and pick up some willwoods, pads, ect. if that's the case. Not sure if your taking pre orders..

Yes. I am sure I will still make them. It's a kit that sells pretty well. Last production was 100 sets. Will probably make only 40 sets this time. ;-) Shall be done by early January.

Good to see more conversion here guys :)
I am wanting to go with the biggest 4x100 kit that I can fit under 15” wheels , Lees sport or race kit is what I am going to go with . I had to miss the sale price or pre - increase because I simply can’t pull the trigger on the sport kit and then kick myself in the balls once I find out race kit will fit the 15” Jongbloed wheels as well.
Currently I am just having to wait for the wheels to come out and then I’ll pull the trigger , sucks having to pay more now with the price increase but it’s a small price to pay for a well designed kit with off the shelf available rotors and calipers .
Now, if anyone got a set of JongBloed 15” wheels and you are willing to print and check the brake clearance of both sport and race kits I would be greatful for it !
Lee has pdf files on his site for wheel clearance check , his sport kit does clear TRM c1 15x8 wheels with a small spacer (3-5mm) but the race kit will need more spacer .
I just don’t have Jongbloed wheels on hand to check :/
