haul@ss Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Cool, thanks. Can you post in this thread if the GP ever goes on? I'm going to go ahead and get the power stop 14" rotor upgrade for now. I'm kinda on a tight budget with my SSS. Eventually I'll get the calipers and the brackets for the 14" rotors. If you're on a tight budget, why dont you just wait to purchase the 15" rotors instead of getting the 14s only to go bigger later? Unless your rotors are bad already then i understand. Ooh its easter, any testing yet?! haha just kidding, just a little anxious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly there's a guy on gmfullsize.com that makes brackets for the C6 Z06 calipers to work on 14" rotors for $199.00. So I figured since I don't have a whole lot of cash laying around I could just go ahead and get the 14" upgrade kit from power slot and use my stock calipers until I get enough cash for the Z06 ones.

This was the reason behind the 15" setup. The Z06 calipers fit like SHIT with the 14" rotors. MANY MANY MANY MANY arguments about this. Better off waiting it out for now.

JYD was trying to sell me his brackets for the 14" rotors..I'll just go with the 14" rotor upgrade kit for now I wish I could swing the 15s and the calipers.....

detjoe Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 guys dont bash. I believe that thread got pulled at GMfullsize and I dont want to do that here so no bitching! Keep the talk informative and positive. I think it is enuff to say the other bracket that came to market was misrepresented and it took another memeber to take it to where it needed to go and the Z06 calipers should only get ran with a 15" rotor and if someone is telling you they will work on a 14" rotor they are not being stright up with you.

therokie0070 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 dkkustoms how many front brackets are you going to make on the first batch, also are you producing the first batch for stock spindles? keep us up to date and put me down for a set.

Well in that case, in my opinion you could just get some drilled and slotted r1 rotors for cheaper that way you don't spend so much on a temporary upgrade. But that's all up to you bro. dkkustoms how many front brackets are you going to make on the first batch, also are you producing the first batch for stock spindles? keep us up to date and put me down for a set. I don't know how many he is making for the first batch but he said that he was going to make sets for stock spindles first. I'm guessing that he would like to see the amount of interest there is in these brackets before producing by the batches haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your rotors are bad already then i understand. Ooh its easter, any testing yet?! haha just kidding, just a little anxious Nothing yet our CNC operator is MIA. He was supposed to be at work on Monday and nobody can find him. Figures, when I have free time the CNC is being used, now the CNC isn't being used but our operator is MIA. Trust me I want to get these things made even more than you guys want them. As for quantities, I'm not sure. I'll make a new thread and see for sure how many people are serious about buying a set. I'm not going to make 100 and only sell 20 sets. But if I run out I can make more as well. As far as the drop spindles go, I've had more than a few pms about those as well so I'll probably make the same of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndySilveradoSS Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm def down for a set of lowered spindles on front and rears!!!! I've got the r1 vented/slotted rotrs, but a huge vented/slotted rotor would look (0)(0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynbiker Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well i feel it has come to an end. For those of you that have this set up on your trucks already know. Spread the word!. Now only fourteen people will have this set-up on their trucks,and suv's. Several of them are currently out and about. Some installed, and some waitng to install them. This has been shown to be an affordable "Big Brake" build as you buy set-up. I was one of the first of them to install these calipers on our trucks,pushed thru some hurdles and well....Let's just say I was the First to use 15" Rotors with the Zo6 6-piston calipers.I ended up producing my own brackets for these 15 Rotor's. A few others inquired upon this and wished to have the same. I have made a total of Fourteen Pair several have been sold already. Some are already driving on them,and so far very pleased with there individual outcomes. Others are still building there sets. Who will complete the finel few sets? The "LUCKY FEW" I would like to say! The brackets are solid billit cnc'd aluminum,hard anodized black. Hardware is included and are designed to fit our trucks with the 15" Rotors ONLY. They are for the front only. they allow the maximum amount of pad contact without grinding anything and most of all not rubbing on anything. They are a direct bolt on for STOCK Spindles. Mods will be needed for A/M Spindles.(Some have done this already) The Calipers can be had on ebay for some times a very great deal. Brake pads will need to be purchased,sometimes come with the calipers,which make it a great deal. Banjo bolts,and crush washers from the Z06 Calipers are also needed,and avail from your local gm dealer. (hurry they may be going out of business)lol! Most have also installed Stainless Brake lines also. As for the Rotors, They are 15" "Big boys" they are from a well known manufacture,those that have them know how bad ass they are! they will be available,well for as long as that Large Reputable Manufacture stay's in business.(lifetime) Once the remaining brackets are sold,those who bought them will recieve the info needed to obtain those 15" rotors at there best possible pricing. You will not be required to buy them from me,you can call your local speed shop, or who ever can get you the best deal. The great thing about this is the ones who have them will be the ONLY one's who have them! How great is that! I Have miscalculated on hardware and do not have enough to finish the last three sets, easily obtained on your own. ******Reduced price****** 260.00 shipped. I have (3) three sets left, missing hardware *****Reduced Price***** For those that want them for there NNBS i can mill them down for the proper fitment. 15" Rotors are also avail for the them as well. once there gone, there GONE. For those wishing to install matching rear calipers, at this time you will need to get them from the other person making similiar brackets for these calipers. I am sorry but i have invested to much time and especially too much money. Ray " LUCKY FOURTEEN" This is the first time I have tried to reply to this message board, so please excuse me if I am doing it incorrectly. I would be glad for your input on being part of this forum. I would like to purchase a set of these brackets an am willing to purchase them immediately, however I am unsure of how to communicate directly with the seller. Should I post my email address and/or phone number. Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
