  2. PAYMENT SENT!!! WOOHOO big ass brakes to go with the supercharger i just bought too! cant wait to return to the states and put it all on!!!!
  3. hey man do you do all the work on your on truck or do you have a good shop in the inland empire that can be trusted with the SS? Ill be back from afghanistan in May if ya wanna help me with my procharger install man that would be sick! Let me know! Thanks!

  4. WOOOHOOO im gonna have a supercharged SS when i return from Afghanistan!!!! Party in So Cal in late april early may!!!!!
  5. would you put these rears in a package with the fronts from your other post? Im looking for a full set and since these fronts are gone i was hoping these rears would work with the ones from your other post. I also left some questions in the other post... let me know if you have everything for a full set! thanks!
  6. do you have rears in the other post too? are the rotors gone or are you just saying $1500 if you dont want the rotors? let me see if i can help you answer my question... Im looking for a full brake kit for all four! So basically if you have fronts and rears from your other post.... rotors, calipers, brackets, the works... how much?
  7. Yeah i just blead my brakes out and when the fluid pressure is low that light will come on and it resets itself whenever its back up to par, or is supposed to. Best thing i can say is feel up the resovior to the full line and leave the cap lose the push the brakes with somin and while leaving the pedal pushed down losen the bleed valve until the flow slows quite a bit the make sure to screw it back in before releasing the brakes and when you cycle the key the warning should go away cause thats when mine did anyway. Hope it helps and i didnt just tell you what you already did... I may have even rolled a foot or two and hit the brakes before the light turned off but i think it went off as soon as i turned the truck back on and hit the brakes again. Good luck!
  8. What is the front bumper cover? Is that like a car bra? Does it fit the SS cause I've been lookin hard for one that fits the SS cause most fit the regular Silverado and that's one of the few actual body shape difference is the bumper? If its that kinda cover let me here some shipping to Cali 92301!!! Stuff that thing in a flat rate box and send it my way haha!!!
  9. Thanks and as for how I broke it well ha I replaced the rear rotors and pads and short version is I didn't put locktite back on the caliper bracket bolts and lost one on the way home one night!!!! Yeah sucked bad! Sounded so bad and felt so harsh when the caliper rotated into the wheel I thought the wheel fell off or somin serious snapped but I managed to limp into a gas station caliper dragging on wheel and all!!!! I had no tools with me for the first time in my life and bought a basic set from the gas station... Took the remaining bolt out and somehow had just enough and I mean fraction of a millimeter amount of room to take the whole caliper assembly off the rotor WITHOUT removing the wheel cause I even took my factory jack out when replacing the brakes earlier so haha best part is I strapped the dang oh caliper to the LEAFSPRING with a strap in my truck bed and limped home using the gears to control speed and limit braking HAHA yeah horrible idea and since the caliper had nothing to squeeze one piston popped out and luckily stayed sittin on the leaf spring but drained lots of my brake fluid and well ya get the picture!!! ALL THIS CAUSE OF ONE D@&$ BOLT WITH NO LOCKTITE!!!!!!!!
  10. Long story short I ****ed up and let one piston come out of the caliper and cut the seal that goes around it when trying to put it back in! So can it be replaced? Can I do it without fancy machines? Is putting a piston back in out of the question? Please help! Thanks guys!!!
  11. do the rear calipers come with the brackets and bolts? if so how much to ship to 92301?
  12. Hey man you wouldnt happen to have those part numbers would ya?
  13. Thanks for all the welcomes guys... Im out here in the Wrightwood area just on the edge of the high desert, pretty sweet being this close to mountains and ocean, not to mention i got to do donuts on the lake bed (El Mirage) in the SS and take the other toys out there too! Oh and i moved out here because im a pilot and i got relocated to a test facility out here in the desert and YES im trying to get the bosses to let us borrow the airstrip for a meet cause i think it would be awesome!!!
  14. hey yal in So Cal be one the looked out for a blue SS with silver stripes cause i just drove my baby cross country from florida to So Cal!!! speaking of California i need a new exhaust set up haha i dont have cats right now and i know that and gonna cut it in california if im switching plates

  16. Stock sizes from napa or did u go bigger?
  17. Where can I find those bad boys for 950? U gonna do the swap urself? I may need these after I look around
  18. What brand rotors do u have? Stock size? Part number? And steel lines really needed? Hydroboost i will have to search for and read about but thanks guys... Another set of 15" zo6 brakes just went for sale for 1000 dollars for fronts and I'm kinda likin that idea we will see but thanks Yal
  19. Is that a current picture of the rotors? Shipping 92301? I want them and any idea where I can get rears?
  20. Ok yal I really need new brakes well at least rotors and pads but lookin at serious kits from the big names like brembo we r talking 6gs!!! Is it really worth it to by the kits with the awesome calipbers or just spend 800 for the same rotors and ceramic pads but use stock calipers? Am i missin somin altogether as to why the kits cost so so much more???
  21. Congrats but guys ive been lookin and brembo has 14" rotors slotted for 300 retail per axle set... I don't get how pads and rotors are 800 for all four but the kit is 6000
  22. how close is 1500? what i mean is how much more are we talkin to make it worth your while?
