JBeezy, How's it going?

Don't want to derail thread, but briefly.

Been sick in the hospital, and recooperating at parents for a while.
Had a type 2 diabetes episode (hyperglycemia). Barely made it.
Doing a lot better now, but still not 100%.
Thank God for family and friends.

Changed password with all the hacking scares and forgot the new one.

Yeah, meant to get in on the first run, but other issues were occurring so couldn't keep up with thread.

I have not had time to install Zacks upgrade brake kit yet but does anybody else that installed it have any feedback yet?

Question about c5 calipers. They are 2-piston, correct? I'm guessing reman will be the cheapest, but are there any 4-piston options that will work with these brackets?

Introducing another joint collaboration between myself and lji372 (love that guy)

Although not 100% complete in development, the meat and potatoes are here for me to share with you.
Here is the list:

GT500 Rotors from NAPA: $125 part # 880497 (You need to open the hub I.D .003, easily accomplished with a die grinder)
http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...-Front-Ultra-Premium/_/R-UBP880497_0387025606
C5 Corvette Semi-Loaded Calipers w/brackets: ~$300 (looking for better deals)
http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...e-Semi-Loaded-Remfd/_/R-SEBSE5254A_0248561055
http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/C...e-Semi-Loaded-Remfd/_/R-SEBSE5253A_0248561065
Stainless Steel Brake Lines with brackets and fittings: Todd@TCE
Ceramic Brake Pads: $95 (You can buy whatever you want)
Custom brackets with Bolts/washers: $155 Shipped

When this is all done, I will provide part numbers, links, basic instructions and all photos I have taken.
All that will be provided to you from the site is brackets. (maybe the bolts) You must look off of my provided recipe to supply the rest.

WOOOHOOOOOOOO... :bows::bows::bows: to Me & Jerry :coolman:







Keep in mind my Calipers were modified by Baer. The calipers you will get from NAPA may say Corvette on them....Im not sure.

No more 500 dollar rotor replacements. No more $1400+ big brake price tags.

Off the shelf parts, easy recipe to make this yourself, why did it take me 10 years? :shake:

Yes, yes I do.

(I put my username and address in the paypal message. Let me know if you cant see it and I'll email it or PM it to you thanks)
 
Use a 2001 C5 vette as what you need.
Anything 98-04 is the same though.
All info was in the first post
