Hello everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself. I've been lurking here off and on for years, every time I got tempted to buy my fathers Z28. He ended up making me an offer I couldn't refuse so as of this weekend I'm now the proud owner of a black '93 Z28 with 40k on the odometer. It's basically stock with the exception of a Moroso CAI and Hurst shifter. The current plan is to catch up on the maintenance and take it to a track day August 31st (Bertil Roos - Performance Driving Clinic up at Pocono). I'd love to hear anyone experiences with Roos? Did a search and didn't find much. I'm planning to flush the brake fluid and do other maintenance items people have suggested here in past pre- track postings but I'm waffling on the brake pads. I read the suggestions, I've had Hawk pads on a street car in the past and the brake squeal drove me nuts. Any chance the stock pads will suffice for the first track outing? or am I dreaming? Other suspension and engine mods will have to wait until I finish other projects. Dan |

It will be $800-1000 plus if you try to replicate it new. this will give you a bunch of options for pads and rotors too. Might be too good to pass on knowing that you will eventually need brakes. Looks cool too...larger rotor. Might be a tight fit on the stock wheels. The LS1 system (from 98 to 2002 Fbody) can usually be found at the junkyard for $300-400, and it is a GREAT upgrade for the LT1 fbody. Limited rotor and pad combos, but it keeps you in class for a number of different type competitions. Almost as good as the C5 conversion. A true "bolt-on" swap. Good luck! bock |
