I do not think this is Miller's work - Look at the brackets - There are only three holes in his - How does he mount them with only three holes - they are different...

ebmiller88

iTrader: (7)

Nice kit and price but not mine. You don't see 4 holes but (IMO) he taps the bracket instead of the spindle and runs the bolt in from behind, so there's no bolt head clearance issues with the caliper carrier. I do mine differently than that. Nice kit but I've seen better... but I'm also biased in my opinion. I don't see braided lines or zinc coated parts like I've seen on other kits out there.

That's a very nice price for all of that in one kit. Very nice price.

Can't beat looking around and accepting used parts in good condition though. I just got my C4HD's installed today with parts from Ed, and they are insanely better than stock...and they only cost me ~$325 including shipping from 3 different places!

Ed's kits are also zinc-plated, so they won't rust. Oh, can you tell? I'm very happy Ed

I might be looking to purchase something from Ed in the future... when I get a real job.

How do the ls1 brakes compare to the baer brakes?

Would these be better?

ebmiller88

iTrader: (7)

Close but not quite...LS1 brakes would be about equivalvent of a Baer GT system, but not exactly. The GT system actually uses PBR C5-style calipers so a C5 setup would be even closer.

http://baer.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe/0...35969100032679

Difference is LS1 brakes will fit inside 16" wheels, C5s won't.

LS1: 12" x 1.25" rotor
C5: 12.75" x 1.25" rotor

Hey ed, have you found a source for a two-piece C5 rotor yet?

ebmiller88

iTrader: (7)

Yes, a couple actually. You're looking at $480-500 per pair.

I bought a set dirrectly from this guy.....Havent installed them yet, but quality looks good.....spindles and mounting bracket where painted and cleared.....I also got zinc coated cross drilled/slotted rotors.....I paid less than ebay price with the rotor upgrade.....They also come completly assembled...

I bought this setup in October of this year. Its been pretty good to me, probably kept the car from crashing where the old 10.5" would have killed me. This guy was great on customer service. I like Ed's kits too though. I paid $519 shipped when I got my set.

ebmiller88

iTrader: (7)

Great price, I do admit.

Yeah, I saw the Baer ones and they made me cringe at the price. Does Baer publish the price on just the friction surfaces? I'd like to buy a L & R spare since it will be a track car. Looks like I'll be running a stock C5 rotor for a while.

I'm picking up some ZR1s next weekend and waiting for my adapters to come in. Once that happens, I'll hit you up for the C5 kit I talked to you about in e-mail.

Thanks again, ed.

SDIF

Let me rephrase my question.

Would the ls1 set up be superior to the baer equvilent of the 1le package?

The bear system that I have uses 12 in X 1.10 rotors and the GM PBR calibers.

ebmiller88

iTrader: (7)

IMO yes. The LS1s will give you a thicker, beefier rotor and larger calipers with larger pad contact area. The LS1s also have a more modern pin guided caliper design for smoother operation. The only thing I don't like about LS1 calipers is that they have a known issue with spreading out over time with hard use.

Ed, do you still make the caliper mount plates and hubs for this swap? I'm interested in doing brakes that'll fit under my 97 T/A wheels, but still let me find pads at the local parts store. I can mod my own spindles, I have the new calipers, brackets, and hardware, and pads and rotors. just need to find the adapter plates to mount the calipers on and the hubs.

SDIF

How much does your set up cost?

Turn Key?
Spindels, Brackets and Hubs?

I am interested?

3. either hit the PM button for a Private Message or
4. hit the email button for........well an email.

Tuttlet

Thanks for help.

Will 95 brakes from a camaro work for this swap or the Ls1 brakes better, different. If so what year do you need to get these from. I think I can get some parts off a95 real cheap. He said he would the drive shaft for 50 bucks. Good deal?

Gladstoneiroc

iTrader: (1)

Unless the 95 was a 1le those parts aren't worth much. 95's still had the same size brakes we have and the driveshaft is the same as ours too. You are looking for 98-02.

Kurt88IROC

Well I bit the bullet and ordered the C4 HD front kit and PBR rear kit from Ed. It arrived yesterday, looks great! He fixed me up with everything including master cylindar and proportioning valve, emergency brake cables, earl's braided hoses all bolts, ... I got the rotors zinc washed and calipers powdercoated red. Ed was great to deal with. He kept me posted on the kit makeup progress (with pictures even), let me know when he shipped it with tracking numbers, stufff was well packed in three boxes. Now I have to find the time to install everything.

Tuttlet

Let me know how to get a hold of this guy. I have e-mailed him and got no response. He sounds like he has a good deal.

Kurt88IROC

I know that he is very busy right now but, he has always gotten back on emails, pms, or this forum eventually. have you tried sending a pm through his profile?
