Just go to bigbrakeupgrade?

Ive message Ed here and called 4 times and left messages twice but nada. Granted, ive called fairly late in the day but i havent received a call back. im on somewhat of a time table and i know Ed makes some nice stuff and would like to use his stuff.. just dont know how long i should wait to even talk with him? so, just go to BBU?

ps- custom means 13" brembos

At this point I'd say, if you're in a hurry, Ed is probably not the guy for you. Kind of a shame, because he's a great guy. But ya gotta do whatchya gotta do.

What parts are you looking for? Are you still trying to fit the Camaro SS Brembos on a 13" rotor?

yea, but, i was going to buy the stuff to fit the brakes in the traditional way with the 14" rotors... JIC.

i was going to get: modded spindles, lines, brackets, etc. i dont need hubs (got a set of Kore3 medium duty hubs.. theyre pretttyy), calipers, rotors, etc.

Re: Just go to bigbrakeupgrade?

Just curious why 13" Brembo vs 13" Wilwood setup seems just easier to go with the wilwood and its lighter setup then the Brembo

but your buying stuff for 14" setup ?

because i have a plan B. the plan B involves going to the 14" setup.

i want to use the stock Brembos as most of my build is 'stock'. stock GN turbos, stock 6.0, stock ls7 cam, etc...

the sticking point is, i want to get the brembos under a stock set of ls1 4th gen snowflakes.

anyways, 87350, did you ever get your site up? if you can set me up for the right price and such..

Haha, no. I have kept plenty busy without advertising. So I will keep it that way for now.

If you are looking at the 14" kit, that would require the 1LE offset hubs. I do not stock these and they must be custom made. Unfortunately that means $$ and time. I also don't stock the brackets, again $$ and time.

I highly doubt I would be your cheapest bet.

If you are looking at a 13" kit, well I won't touch that project with the OEM Chevy/Caddy 4 piston brembos.

Good luck,

John
