Now I want to sell my Baers...... :_paranoid

WOW! Nice choice! Those brakes are freakin huge :hail: And the wheels look Killer as well. :unibrow:

nice choices lead! :thumbsup:

Sure thing.
 

Here you go.

All measurements we're taken on a Top of the line wal-smart precision weightin instrument. (I use it to keep my own weight acceptable...)

The front Rotor and Caliper are at 37 pounds as a team.
Rotor only is 28.

Rear combo is 30
while rotor only is at 21

The front rotor has some heavy metal in the back IT DOES make a difference

Oh, i did it to give all of you an idea of the weight so we have it as a reference for future users. Any negative comments regarding their weight are unnecessary...I knew ahead to purchasing they we're heavy compared to 5k$ kits...I just preferred keeping the weight in my pockets rather than taking it off the brakes.

Glad you guy's like 'em.

For more.

I went to the shop on my way back home tonight. The tubs are getting done. Will take pics tomorrow...I had forgotten the camera! Those DSE Frame conn are so clean once installed.

Hey Tracy, have you mounted yours???(Wheels) And did you get my message 'bout the Q-Link?

Hey Customcam,

Here is one for you

Kinda looks like yours at some point... ;-)

Got any more pics, updates? I really dig your build too.

I can't wait to tomorrow. I really want to know where those stupid tires end at the end....Its gonna be so close. There is almost no frame left at the rear portion of it. We welded a 1/4" thick plate (molded to follow the rail) on approximately 1 foot to make up for it. Another reason to be wanting to change the susp set up. Like that the rear rails won't be important anymore.

I'm looking back at Arm Morrisson's tri-4 bar set up, its cheap bas a$$, and would give me the most room. I just don't know if its made to fit in my car as it is...

Suspension only, not the clip.

sweet set up man! if you dont mind how much did the brake set up set you back? PM if you dont care to post it.....thanks.

That's not bad at all when you consider the price. I am sure the rotors are better than most aftermarket stuff out there and thanks to you I am really starting to like them. The brakes are going to look sick when installed with the wheels. :thumbsup:

I like that photo, lead, you look like a kid in a candy store. :D

I love it when the UPS guy comes around!

Great setup, post more pics when you have them mounted up. :thumbsup:

If you'll do a search foe Z-06 brakes you should find a thread i started for a group purchase on that kit. Its the Corvette brake upgrade kit to Z-06. I finally got it all from Fred Beans parts division ( www.fbparts.com ) who's a GM car (and many other makes) dealership and the price was below the GP that another was offering.

The final price was 1495$ + 65$ shipping. yes, you read that right.

Included; 4 calipers, 4 rotors and all 20 pads and hardware. All GM, From a GM dealer, and bran new.

Any other questions, just shoot.

Rwhite, :-) It felt like that too! :D I just can't wait to get the wheels.

Looking good, glad to see someone else feels the way I do about these breaks. Yeah, there's a lot of cool breaks out there for 5K plus, but are they really any better? Highly doubt it. These things look killer too. I took my rotors to get zinc washed, should be picking them up in a day or two. How are you planning on mounting the rears? The fab shop I used can make some for you if your interested that serve 3 purposes- hold axle in, mount caliper, and mount stock corvette backing plate for the park brake.(very nice) :thumbsup:
