  3. Z06 Brake Conversion

    in How To

    Posted · Edited by A_FuriouSS (see edit history)

    3k would be for both fronts and backs. The Z06 conversion is the cheapest way to a big brake upgrade. That would be with Russel Stainless all around.

     

    The big pro with Baer and wilwood is they have manufactured brackets that fit to factory spindles that center and sit properly on their rotors. Rudy has done an amazing job engineering a bracket to fit a Baer Rotor with a Corvette Caliper. Granted the fronts aren't making 100% contact but it's enough to feel a significant difference in stopping power regardless.

    For 22's I needed to add a 5/8 spacer to clear. But if you add that big of a spacer your lug bolts aren't long enough. Now I can't speak for any other big brake upgrade other than the Z06's they my run a different center line.

     

    To answer your question there was no way the 330's would clear because of their concave design. This was my clearance after the spacer was installed.

    The issue then is your studs aren't long enough. And finding longer studs with the same Knurl is impossible. Not only are they pressed in. If your thinking on changing out your hub to change the studs, it's getting into a hairy area of too much modding. Will the hubs hold up? If the knurl size is slightly small will it strip out.... Good luck and let us know how you make out.. IMHO, sell the 330's And get reps. They Will clear.

    I don't have pics just yet but I will soon. I have 4 wheels no rubber that are lightly used, almost brand new. I bought them in January. Did the Z06 upgrade. They won't work with the upgrade. Well not unless you get longer wheel lugs and 5/8 spacers. So my loss is your gain. I have a 5th wheel not in great shape meaning the polished lip is now an off shade of grey. But it's a 5th of the same wheel. If anyone is seriously interested I'm open to respectful offers plus shipping. Obviously if you're somewhat close to Philadelphia, I can meet up. BTW they are Black with a polished lip.

     

     

    I will post up pics this weekend.. Just wanted to see if there is anyone interested. I will throw in black locking lugs with it for free if you want/need.

    Yes you must pull a vacuum on the circuit before adding the 134. The needle should move when you've gauged the AC compressor. These circuits only take about 3lbs of 134. So you want to be careful not to over charge it. I generally blow nitrogen through the lines preferably through the low side to the high. Then pull a vacuum.. post-23372-0-49339100-1412853876_thumb.jpg

     

    Add the refrigerant to the low side.

  20. How to find the car #

    in My New Truck

    Posted

    Correct, but you can get a new COA from Chevy based on your VIN. Sadly, you are correct, it will not contain your production #.

     

    I agree, they could have stamped it on the door or someplace. I've scourd my truck and have never seen anything of the sorts.

    Sadly it's near impossible to know your actual production number. It would have been on the COA and given to whom ever bought it for the first time. You can however get intouch with Chevy DEI and give them your VIN. They can send you a COA but it won't have the production #. Grats on your new truck n welcome!
