Sideways Engineering dual caliper brackets.

Ready for track testing this weekend.

Allows you to run two stock calipers per rotor while keeping your current rotors.

No more choppy brake feel, or lock ups. No more janky brackets.

Funny how I just found out today that this design was possible and then these pop up. Will keep an eye on this...

I have pictures of my prototypes. Which where hand made. These brackets came from this design, but are stronger than my hand made ones.

Please excuse the ugly rotor. I'll have new pictures of the actual machined piece up very shortly.

looking at the pictures above, I'm curious about the ebrake cable location in accordance to the lower control arms... I know for a fact I've had to fight them in stock location and it appears you've brought the forward most caliper(near stock location) downward to accommodate the second caliper. do you have any pics of this setup mounted and connected for reference?

Pretty cool: all with one bracket. The mirror image of the mounting holes is a very efficient method with the CAD layout. :tu:

I will get some pictures up soon. You will loose the ability to use cable ebrake with this bracket. It was something I really wanted to keep. But the harsh reality is there just is not enough free space to position the foot brake caliper in a location where it can be used.

are these for the rear only, or do they work in the front too?

These brackets have the mounting holes that only line up with the rear mounting points. The mount holes are different on the front.

Are these going to be produced? I'd love to run a set on my car.
