<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> guessing that youd have to use caddy rotors also then? what about using readily available ford 5x5.5 rotors, cheaper parts maybe? kinda high dollar but something like this... http://www.horsepowersales-llc.com/servlet/Detail?no=34still doesnt get you the ebrake, but the hanger bracket looks clone-able.

Body Damage is Cool

Actually using Jeep CJ Front rotors I got on Amazon for $15.00 EACH SHIPPED!!!
Got the calipers from RockAuto. Will have to figure out the e-brake lines and the hyd hoses. Going to try a master cylinder off of the 81 eldorado if the Sportage is too small. Have some fairly good pads I got on closeout from RockAuto and they had a rebate. Ended up paying about $8.00 for them. Still have to figure out the bracket... Will keep everyone posted. Lots of fun...
Going to Vegas this weekend so will have some time on the plane to do the plans.
Checked on the Sorrento. Calipers are about $100.00 each + having to buy the rotor. Are the rears vented? They should work but I don't see the advantage. Glad to see guys interested in this.
