Why did you replace the right upper a-arm? It still has a parts sticker on it.

Sounds like a lot of work IMO for an extra 1/2 inch in diameter but I guess its the surface area that counts. BTW I haven't found any bolt on brake components that will fit on those spindles and hubs to upgrade them to a larger size with out doing the same old LS1/1LE modifactions, i.e. caliper adapter brackets.
the black one's are cool! the stock replacment cross drilled rotors i have seen. alway's seem to crack from the holes.jsta6 said:I found these on ebay. I wonder if they are any good?

jsta6 said:Hey Eric (fisher),
Do you think you can get an exploded parts diagram for us from GM with the GM part numbers? Maybe scan a page and post it?
I wonder if different years offer different options on calipers, etc. Like the S10's did with the rear brake cylinders.
i can see what you mean. but this set up would work well for the guys with racing wheel's as most are 15 inch rims. we use skinny pro stars and if that set up would work. i would use it . i would have to say the calipers should do a better job of stoping the car after a 130 mph run. the only other thing to use with 15 in. rims is the high dollar after market stuff. what do you think?turbofish38 said:Yeah let me scan a page or two from the parts and shop manual. There was only one rotor and caliper used on this application. I've scanned the books and made a trip or two to the boneyard to see if anything will bolt on to these spindle/hub assemblies and nothing will unless you make some adapter brackets to mount the caliper brackets on. My thinking is if you have to that than you might as well modify the stock parts and go the LS1/1LE route.
