Got some LS1 brake parts from scott. Spindles/hubs/brackets. Parts were very well done, at a good reasonable price and shipped fast. He has great customer service, would do business with again and recommend him in a heartbeat

I got a set of the ls1 brakes from them at the beginning of last summer. A guy locally had them for sale as new and never installed, they were the complete set with earls stainless lines, even still hard the shipping invoice with them. They went on every easy and have preformed great so far would definitively recommend them.

I second this. He put the effort into salvaging my spindles and saved me the core, when I asked if he could do so safely. Even held on to them til I decided to proceed. Got the LS1 upgrade. Informative, and communication was top notch.

Scott, when are you going to start doing rear upgrades? :)

Re: BigBrakeUpgrades
 
I could look into doing them...I would need a rear to mock things up. What rear conversions are we looking at doing?

Re: BigBrakeUpgrades
 
I myself am converting a 10 bolt drum to the 1LE pbr discs.

Judging by various posts, I`d assume this to be a popular swap. Along with:
1) 10.5 inch discs to 1LE - 10 bolt and 9 bolt
2) various rears to LS1 discs
3) various rears to C5

I know Ed Miller has setups for these, but nobody seems to be able to get ahold of him. Seems like it might be a good opportunity for you.
