fcettner Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I decided to work on the KR this weekend and pulled the wheels to clean/polish, then installed these caliber covers on the rear. Don't try this at home without some tooling. I had to modify covers to fit my wheels with the Baer rear rotor upgrade. I ended up trimming an 1/4 inch off the outer surface to allow wheel clearance. Spring can't come too soon... :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcettner Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nice. What do you polish your rims with? I use hot water and a spray or two of simple green on the inside of the rims, then treat it with armor all wheel protectant strickly on the inside. On the outside I use a warm water wipe down and then use turtle 'Ice' detailer spray to treat the outter rims. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Why would you have to trim them aren`t they suppose to fit???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcettner Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Why would you have to trim them aren`t they suppose to fit???????????? I have the Eradispeed rear brake rotor upgrade kit and with the larger rotors/caliber brackets installed the caliber covers were too close for comfort with the KR rims. I cut 2 threads off the mount bolts too. Later, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelTownStang Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hey Fred, Any chance that these covers could be modified to fit the front Brembos in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcettner Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hey Fred, Any chance that these covers could be modifded to fit the front Brembos in your opinion? I think they'll only fit the stock mustang brake calibers (front and rear). They won't fit Brembo brake calibers for sure. I'm going Shelby Baer extreme front brakes. That will be my next upgrade.
