Nice huh!?

I wonder what could come close to that deal, performance and price wise.

I looked and shopped around, and while i don't pretend knowing everything on brakes (far from there) i couldn't pass them up. (Even if they do have their drawbacks).

I have no e-brake set up yet...And since i'm presently (and for the next season) runnin an auto trans i didn't really care about that issue.

The car will be home either by end of week or beginning of next week, i'll be able to see where everything ends up.

That bracket seems interesting for sure.

How about a "Brakes" dedicated page on the site regarding different set ups used, parts #'s and availability. It sure would help people doing swaps.

Hey Lead i would say that is a smokin deal! I also live in Canada and just got back from the GM Dealer. I had them price it all out with the part#'s and it came to over $4100.!!!!!!! I wished i had have gotten in on that GP

Shane,

I think you can just call Dave at DBparts and he will set you up with the same deal (he had more than 20 kits selling in one day)

I have a few friends working at GM dealers and had done the exercise too...Thats when i took my decision! I picked up my parts 5 minutes from the customs (on US side) and saved on Canadian shippping, broker fees etc so its a major econoomy!

Hey, i always look at and like your car in your Avatar but have no way of seeing it fullsize. Got a pic laying around?

if you need Dave's coordinates let me know

Yeah, those are some pretty big rotors, and they'll look just killer behind those Forgelines. Rediculously huge, and I like it. Leadfoot, you mention that you can get rotors zinc washed so they don't rust or corrode, right. I'm doing up my first project, a 69 Charger R/T PT, and I bought a front disc conversion kit, but i don't think the rotors are zinc coated or that there's any corrosion inhibitor. What kind of place do you look for to get them zinc washed, and do any of you guys know of anyone that does that around the Winnipeg Manitoba area. Even around North Dakota or Minnesota?

Hey Redrider, welcome aboard!

I have yet to call the place i was told (by my best buddy). I'll do that right now....

Can't find the number wit 411.

He'll have to dig in his papers i guess.

I think any chrome shop should be able to help out. I'll let you know as soon as i get more info. I really want to do this, no way am i having rust on this car. Period. (well....There is still the rust i need to fix, but that doesn't count! We're talking new parts here!)

Lead.

And post some pics of that project when u get a chance!
