This is awesome news! Thanks for posting all of this up here.
I want to do this to my Olds, only question is if it will fit in my stock rims. If you (or anyone else) would get the opportunity to measure the inner diameter of the Turbo T wheels, it would be greatly appreciated. I believe the Olds wheels have a narrower internal diameter b/c they are based off a 14" core (they step down towards the outer half of the rim).
So if someone would get the chance to see what the narrowest point in the turbo wheel is, I would be greatly appreciative. That or I am gonna have to find an S-10/blazer to bolt them on to

Gbodynutt said:So the LS1 brakes won't fit under 15" wheels? Hmmm... guess i'll be putting the S-10 brakes on the Cutlass then.
We tried Ls1 brakes under 87 ttype rims. They do fit but you need to grind down the caliper some on top. All Fbody owners do this when they put skinnies on the front.
Thanks Pete-thats what I wanted to see.I have a low mileage GN that actually stops pretty decent,cruising around with the stock hydroboost set-up and now w/the S10 stuff I can safely do some highspeed runs and know she'll stop a hell of alot better. Thanks for everything.
I just finish my installation of the 11" brakes (have not driven on the street yet). They weigh about 48lbs each vs the stock which are 40lbs. I had to do some grinding on the top of the spindle near the upper ball joint. I noticed that at full extension the control arm hit this area (could be a problem on a wheels up launch).
I run Weld skinnies up front and they hit the support that holds the brake pads. Also I use a braided brake line and it bolted up with no modifications.

Eric and I are working on the OEM (GM and AC/Delco) part numbers and aftermarket replacement peices. (napa, etc).
We are almost done, but we need to check out a few more things. I was able to find almost everything new on ebay.
Rotors - 18060691 - $65 - 129 pair
Calipers - 18029754 and 18029755 - $50 - $100 pair (this is single piston, need to research more for the dual pistion)
Hub and assembly - 15731627 - $115 - $180 each
Spindles (steering knuckle) - 18060560? and 18060561? - $127 pair and up (I can only find 2" drop so far)
Again, the goal is bigger rotors (slotted or cross drilled) and dual piston calipers.
We will have more info in a few days.
