Z06 brake upgrade almost done
Its been a long time since I've had a chance to work on my car....but I finally am almost done putting the Z06 brakes on.
Photos are at my site:
http://mysite.verizon.net/saldana_joel/carstuff/brakes/
Also included are bilstein shocks/struts, sportline springs, z06 wheels, spohn panhard rod, lcas, relocation brackets, earls braided lines, and a whole lot of other stuff I can't think of right now. My next big project are some headers and tubular front end, then eventually a new engine. I just hope I don't run into any problems.....everything has been going pretty smoothly *crosses fingers*

I bought some rebuilt calipers at autozone and painted them....didnt want to have the vette lettering on them - plus I get a lifetime warranty on them.

Updated web site with completed pictures of driver side, including pictures of installed hub. I still haven't hooked up the steering linkage or the sway bar (getting new parts and putting new bushings on the sway bar) but it looks like I may have issues with the tie rod end hitting the outside weight on the rim (I'm assuming its a weight anyways...there are also weights inside the wheel). Looks like its very minimal...as I can still turn the wheel after it hits. I'll probably just need to do some grinding on the new tie rod.

you can see if the weight can be moved to the inner part of the wheel. also see if those small 1/8" spacers will work on the front. Im talking about those factory installed ones on the irocs and z28's in the rear. or just get bigger spacers. Im only saying that cuz I am not a fan of grinding down the end of the tie rod.
