  1. Went out for my first test & tune on Wednesday. Ran the truck and thought it didn't do half bad for having 24 inch rims. 9e11306b8faa06d79ec97fff5586f303.jpg

     

    Am I right about where I should be? Headers, cutouts, intake, tune, built trans.

    If I can get these 24s off and put some regular tires back on, I'd be well onto the 13s on quarter mile.

  2. i think they look good just seems if someone has experience with both brackets then you might wanna listen at the end of the day there not my brakes so it's whatever.

     

    when I do my zo6 swap I'll be keeping this info in the back of my head to help with my swap that's all no biggie

    Idk what the pad being upside down has anything to do with old vs new brackets. They only fit one way so I hope you do keep it in the back of your head. I was a little reluctant at first to post. After being here since 2006, I have seen this forum get to a bickering match half the time nowadays. I can understand the criticism, figured after I posted pics there would be some comment possibly on the way it looked rather than myself doing it backwards.

     

    Thanks guys. It's no biggie. [emoji6]

  3. If the man has a pic of the old brackets next to the new ones I'd have to say he probably knows what he's talkeing about.

    Worth a shot trying anyways.

    I wouldn't be so sure to trust anyone's opinions. If you look at everyone else that has pictures of the same upgrade you find they all look like mine. The pads have tapered bottoms. Thsy can only fit one way. Theres no way the flat edge fits into the tapered clips. I made mine look exactly how Rudy did his.

     

    I think I've came to the conclusion of just not being part of this community anymore. Not one person said it looked nice. Everyone just wants to find fault in it. Have fun in this crap shoot of a forum.

  4. Just got done with the brakes. Looks like only 2/3 of the pads are contacting the rotor but I guess that's how it's suppose to be. Stop amazing. Definitely can tell a difference. Had to bleed these things by myself. Mityvac and a hockey stick. I will get more pictures. Truck is terribly dirty at the moment. Here's some temp pics I took at 2am.

    Rims make the brakes look tiny.

    I'll take more tomorrow after I wash her. Also have one rusty drum that I need to replace.

    And yes...I noticed when I got home I was dragging a ratchet strap. Lol

  5. If I were you I would be sure to put masking tape on the calipers. The Corvette logo is not baked on and break fluid has its way with the logo. I believe 20's should be ok, it's a matter of on the offset design if the rim has a concave design it won't clear.

    Good looking out. I'll make sure to do that.

  6. Gotcha. So the padlets are the correct ones and there is 1 for every piston. So 6 each side. I just didn't want to go with the semi metallic. I would be better off getting some ceramics and they would give off less dust right? And not grind down my expensive rotors as much?

     

    What's up with the rotors from summit saying they have no hat though? Does that mean I will need to buy the center piece to them?

  7. Taking the leap on this one. Got the calipers, banjo bolts, crush washers. In the process of getting Rudy's adapters.

     

    1) I can't seem to find the rotors anywhere but on summit and theirs don't come with the hat. What is everyone else doing for their rotors?

     

    2) Which pads? The guy I am buying the calipers from says that the calipers don't come with pins. But the other auction he has pads and pins. The pads are semi metallic though. I'm guessing I for sure need these pins. What pads are everyone else running and will they come with said pins if I buy hawks or whatever?
