TRD brakes on dana diff

[Jack S]

Got a front dana 60 and rear sterling 10.5 off a 2003 f250, for a build I am doing.
Needs new brakes and I've got a set of TRD Aurion calipers, same as Corvette C5 fronts and C4 Rears.

Just wondering weather these would work, fit with standard rotors and wouldn't be too difficult to make brackets for?

Doubt that's been done here before....
I'd try contacting Spidertrax or PoisonSpyder in the US, or get on pirate4x4 and ask there

[Jack S]

Anyone else have any info or comments?

New brakes to actually suit are cheap enough from the us.

There is a local supplier from Victoria that sells new calipers with pads and brackets, ready to bolt up and for all 4 corners he will do 900 bucks.
I just thought that the trd calipers might of been another avenue...

try it you never know you may jag it. A lot of performance "factory" calipers are identical apart from the casting, there is one in particular where the dimensions of everything is identical, except one says nissan and the other says subaru on the side.

But generally it's only worth buggerizing about with dog bones (adapter plates) when none of the factory offerings are any good.

Not even close. The C5 caliper was designed for a 32mm rotor and C4 a 20mm. Have a look at your rotors. You would spend more trying to adapt bits and pieces than doing it right to start with.

Yea copy that, I've decided to just go with some factory replacements, there only single piston calipers but will do for what I want at the moment. Later on when/if I have more ponies and speed ill upgrade to the dual piston willwoods...

[evanstaniland]

Pretty sure both Dave camp on his 40 and Matt dunk on his U4 only run the single piston calipers.
I have single pistons going into my u4 and think milo has them also so shouldn't be a problem. Remember the size of the truck they were designed to stop

[Jack S]

Yea copy that, sounds like the single piston calipers won't be bad at all than, I plan on my rig being light as possible. Like you said they were designed to stop a pretty heavy truck!
