Zero Offset® Brakes Kits
We started designing these Zero Offset® brake kits back in the late 90's to move the wheels where they were with stock drum brakes. There is nothing that looks worst that a vintage car with late model looking wheels. Every muscle care needs the reverse rim look not matter what diameter wheels you are have. We have since developed our own design hubs and spindles to solve the problems associated with aftermarket and stock spindles and hubs. We are leaders not followers so, we started with a clean sheet of paper. You no longer have to wait for quality brake related parts. We have filed our patents on only a few inventions. As our patents are filed, the parts will be available to the public. All parts are made and assembled in the USA by American citizens.

Rotor sizes are between 0.810" to 1.25" comes gas vented with directional vanes or optional drilled and slotted zinc coated. Caliper brackets are limited to specific Zero Offset®, AP Racing and Wilwood calipers.

ZR1 Kits: Medium to Heavy Duty Race Kits with same components as our ZZ1 kit except with heat treated floating rotors. Not intended for Extreme Duty ( i.e. short track asphalt), but will fit the needs for most racing applications.
WZO Kits: Special Zero Offset® kits from Wilwood Engineering that are designed for stock and after market spindles. Rotor sizes are between 0.810" to 1.25" comes with plain or drilled/slotted over the counter rotors from Wilwood. Some 13" and 14" kits move the wheels out slightly from stock track. The thicker rotors do not allow enough room to keep the track width at the stock location see our ZZ1 Kits using special spindles and hubs to maintain Zero Offset®. For custom appliations see our ZO1 Kits.

"Brake Article"© was written in 1994, before I started building our Zero Offset™ Brake Kits. After reading it you will know more than the next salesman you talk to. It has been read, down loaded, copied and counterfeited by many people. I am sure that it has saved someone's life. I have only changed some wordage from the original article. © 1994 to 2011 Dean Oshiro
