'05 Vette build thread - Lateral-g Forums

I got the 15 SS rear rotors painted up - now its time to flip the bleeder screws and the brake fluid passage tubes around on my rear V calipers - will ride on the back side of the rotors - vs on the CTS-V they ran on the front side of them - this will keep the smaller brake piston on the bottom.

My epoxy for that last anchor will be here tomorrow so I should be able to finish the anchor install tomorrow night - and be able to lift one of the cars up by the weekend!

I got the rears fixed up tonight - and everything together for the swap - now I'm just waiting to finish up the lift install!

Love the update on the car but the new house and garage are awesome

So the epoxy came in on Thursday - and I got the last anchor epoxied into the ground that night. I let it cure for 24 hrs and torqued it down - it held with no issue.

So I bolted down the other post - and tested out the lift a few times and then lifted this:

Now that the lift is in - I will get started on the SS brake upgrade this weekend!

Thanks Marty - its been a long ass year since we signed the papers for the new house - sold my house in January and closed on the new house at the end of July.

Painting and getting everything setup in the shop took forever. I still have a few projects in the garage that I want to get done - but I have car projects stacking up. Once I get this brake upgrade completed - I will turn my focus back to the Vette - tear into the motor - and then bolt on the E-Force!

So I have started breaking in the lift - I started on my first car project today!

I got the SS up in the air and got the CTS-V 6 piston brembos bolted on - along with Stainless lines.

Unlike the G8 - these where a complete bolt on and I didn't have to mod the car in anyway. I think Holden designed the SS for big brakes - I didn't have to trim the dust shield at all - unlike how I did on the G8.

I have finished up the front end - I am waiting for 2 bolts on the back end but I should be able to get one of the sides complete.
