sorry for the lack of updates all, we have been increadibly busy, realistically the uprights will not be available till the end of jan due to high
volumes of orders, we are currently altering and tweaking a few things and should have some development ones fitted to my car before christmas for
some track testing ( read into that destruction testing with me behind the wheel )

Cortina uprights
Are these going to be standard dimensions or tweaked for better geometry?

Hi Marc.
Depending on price (175 ish for a pair seems fine) I may well be interested (I'll confirm with the whole kit) as it could solve my indecision
between the cost (Sierra) and weight (raceleda)

Joao, the sierra hub and upright (w/ bearings, etc) weighs about 13lbs (i haven't weighed them separately). The brake caliber and rotor weighs
about 23lbs. So, each side weighs about 37-38lbs (w/ bolts and fittings also)...pretty hefty.

including wheels and tyres then you might have 35kgs hanging on each corner!

32 kg's is what I measured mine at - cortina uprights and brakes, 15"steel wheels. No mudguards or brackets etc

£500 per corner would probably take that down to 20 odd kgs. That would be STMs billet mag wheels (3kgs) average tyres (6kgs) and the raceleda full
set (im guessing 11kgs all in for that, anyone know for sure?).

The weights I posted for the Sierra stuff is definite.
However, if i was to speculate on the cortina stuff, i would go w/ the base cortina uprights, and then put on some compbrake aluminum hubs, which can
be got for 100GBP (maybe cheaper elsewhere...didn't Marc say his were 75GBP?). W/ some mildly inexpensive aluminum calipers (source anyone?),
you could probably go from the sierra 37lbs (per corner, w/out wheels) to ~25lbs. But, as i said, i am guessing on the cortina stuff, can someone
please confirm.
Cheers, -sm

Looks like the cortina aluminum calipers can be got from compbrake for around 220GBP/pair (b16's) or from wilwood for around 200GBP/pair
(m16/powerlite, 120-8729). Someone *must* have them for cheaper...
