We're dealing with a new company specializing in castings, and during a tour of their factory we found they produce Automobile Brake Caliper Brackets for one of their other customers. We spent a few minutes chatting about the possibility of creating exact duplicates of the factory NA2 Brake Caliper Brackets for NSX, using the same material, finish, and production process.
NA2 (1997-2005) NSX's have approx 1" larger brake discs than NA1 (1991-1996) NSX's, this spacing is achieved using different caliper brackets, which attach the brake caliper to the spindle. Installing a set of NA2 caliper brackets onto an NA1 NSX will allow you to use larger NA2 brake discs, while the brake pads are the same size and shape for both NA1 and NA2 NSX's.
NA2 Larger Brackets:
Comparison of the two discs (NA2 left, NA1 right):
The Larger NA2 discs fill out the wheel face better, and also offering increased heat dissipation at the track; cost for new rotors is similar, so this is a great product for your next brake change. Since these are a factory-sized part, you don't have to worry about spare pads or discs in the future, use any 1997-2005 discs, and use any pads.
Since we would like to replicate the factory production method, the upfront cost is significant, simply creating this type of OEM-quality mold is around $6500 per bracket, and all four brackets are unique. We're looking at $26k in upfront costs to proceed, a huge sum to create an OEM-quality part.
If we see there is enough interest in this type of product we're looking at about a 3-4 month timeline until we can have our first batch delivered. Of course, we would need to see significant interest.
We're targetting the following:
-Complete set of Four NA2 Brake Caliper Brackets (front and rear), We will not Split Sets
-Cost is $349.95 for the Complete set of NA2 Brake Caliper Brackets, US Shipping is Included.
-International Shipping available at actual cost.
