Got My Z-06 Brakes And Ordered My Wheels!!!

[Leadfoot1]

Whoa!

Jeff, man thats killer. I love the wheels too.(can't read the name tough) they look like Forgeline V's.

I got a complete conversion kit from KORE3 that places everything in the right place.

Haven't tried 'em yet but seem VERY nice (of course im biased

Only thing now, as we show we like those brakes and are not afraid of saying it....More will go and get them and so they won't be as special soon.
(YEAH' LIKE I CARED!!! I LIVE IN MONTREAL AND HERE NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHAT PRO-TOURING IS!!!! Most are still into Pro- Street/ Street machines....we get them serious tough.)

Good choice.

Hey, what are you planning on running for master cyl and booster? I'm looking at hydroboost (learning about it slowly) and a wilwood master (its just too nice)

Thanks guy's.

Lead.

Pics tonight!

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)

jeff how much are those brackets?? they could be used with c5 brakes as well, since non zo6 c6 have the same calipers as c5 the only change to make the z06 stuff work is the abutment.
let me know

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?

[Leadfoot1]

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!

Any other questions, just shoot.

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

wow! killer deal! can I get that price still or was it a gp? I would order right now if so....
