Hi All! I'd like to introduce my shop to these forums. We are Twizted Engineering, and are located in Broomfield, CO. We customize most anything, with a focus on off-road vehicles - especially Chevy/GM vehicles since those are what I grew up with! We will be continuing to add more and more content to our website (www.TwiztedEngineering.com) in the near future, and currently offer products such as linked suspension bracketry, shackle flips (including a new design for 88-98 GM's, and versions with Joints in the shackles), fabricated differential covers, steering parts, complete disc brake conversions, etc... If you don't see something on the website, please call us at (303) 225-0507 because we might already have it or at least be working on it!!
 
Welcome!

Very nice setup and thanks for posting the pics.

Do you have a price or can you put a kit together for the rear disk swap for a 14 bolt, i dont think any one makes one with the hard lines tabs clips and steel braided lines.I dont need the rotors or calipers. And a price would be nice i am in need of 2 complete sets.
are you going to change the design of the brackets so a spacer is not needed it seeems alot of the co are going to this design?

Mnstrburbon,
I'm actually glad you asked me about the spacers vs the bent plate. I persoanlly don't like the design of the formed plate because it is very difficult to form a plate of steel with two bends and keep the surfaces exactly parallel. If they are not parallel, you will find that your brake pads will wear unevenly and quicker than normal. I know that if you can keep your quality control super-tight, there is really no reason not to do it that way, but I don't trust putting that into someone else's hands (and I don't have a way to form them in-house). So a very simple solution to that is to just keep the spacers! If you go to my website (www.TwiztedEngineering.com) and look at my kit, you'll see that I don't use little cut pieces of tube for spacers like most shops do - I use a full round spacer that has the bolt holes cut into it - this is a much stronger setup than the other spacer designs. Also, I suggest tacking the brackets to the spacers with a welder once you position your calipers where you want them (my main brackets have many options for caliper rotation). This way, you have a 100% bulletproof setup, with no chance for mis-aligned calipers!

As far as a complete kit, yes I do sell that, and I have that on the web for $385 - but that includes everything - even the calipers and rotors. I have another "kit" that's not listed on the website yet which is exactly what you asked for. I put it together for another customer that didn't want to pay for shipping of the rotors and calipers. It is basically a complete kit minus the 2 rotors, the 2 calipers, and the 2 hard lines. It sells for $240, and includes all the bolts, brackets, SS brakelines, tabs, clips, and adapter fittings you need. PM me if you'd like to go any further with that!
Thanks for the interest!!
