JF-03-SS Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) 1st off I need the thank supersub (Ray) for making this happen. Thank You So I put the 15" rotors that I got from Ray on today and what a difference over the 14"powerslots. There is a bit of work involve in doing this upgrade, but well worth it. I only did the front rotors for now, but don't really think the backs need the 15's. PS. My 14" powerslots (front rotors only) will be up 4 sale, so if you want them PM me and make an offer. Edit: These 15" rotor use the entire brake pad. Edited November 13, 2008 by JF-03-SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70chevy03ss Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 No but you do need to notch the calipers 1/8 of an inch.. There is a write up. didn't look that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sweet, Ray sent out mine monday. Hopefully all my parts show up by the weekend. Any tips on the install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sweet, Ray sent out mine monday. Hopefully all my parts show up by the weekend. Any tips on the install? Not to say that you will need anything different than what Ray suggested, but when I picked up the 14mm flat-washers, I got 8 instead of the 4 needed. That worked to my benefit, as I didn't realize that half of them were 1/16" thick, while the other half was an 1/8" thick. This allowed me to fine tune getting the calipers centered over the rotors. One caliper needed spaced a little more than the other on mine. I also used Stainless flat-washers to prevent corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged06SS Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 what'd you use to grind the calipers? dremel like we talked about? how long did it take to grind em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersub Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hey guy's glad to see everything coming together.I have noticed that some kits requires a little more attention than others on proper spacing.Please pay attention to the caliper centering,I dont want any one cutting up their rotor like the fellow over on gm full size.If you have any questions dont hesitate to pm me.

misterp Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 ... I only did the front rotors for now, but don't really think the backs need the 15's. ... They don't - keep 14's on the rear to maintain proper brake bias IMO. Welcome to the 15" rotor club Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
