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.

Thanks again for all the responses. I may have freed up some cash and I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do in the next month before the track outing. I need to go through the brakes anyway and it sounds like that is the weakest link. So now would be a good time to upgrade the calipers but I don't think I'll be able to swing new rims and tires, so I'm thinking the LS1 option.

I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02-LS1-C...bd#ht_993wt_722 this is from a well known parts house in FL. Your still looking at $500 when everything is said and done. Brakes, shipping, rebuild, pads,SS lines( non coated), fluid, and alignment which you have to do anyway.

I noticed the hubs are missing, are they a direct swap from my LT1 spindles?

The hubs are a direct swap. In fact if the system you end up buying has hubs included, check them for run out before using them. They wear our quickly when used for racing.
