[ *** Sunday March 18 -- still looking for a complete upgrade! *** ]
I'm looking for a complete LS1 brake upgrade kit (spindles, rotors, calipers and brackets. I don't need useable pads, and the hubs would be nice to have but optional ... I can find an incomplete and somewhat expensive kit from Billy Graham's salvage and eBay doesn't come up with anything good right now that will ship to Canada (or that doesn't require me to pay by money order). Anyone have a kit for sale? Thanks! Please post here or send me a pm. ... and this all started when I pulled my entire front suspension for some detailing ... then the little gears in my head started turning and now I already own a set of Hawk HP+ pads, but still need the rest of the upgrade! Oh yes, and I've run out of brakes on the track twice so far. Either I need to smarten up (I wish ...) or I need a bit more brakes. -- Nik; mailto:maddrtwinkletoes@shaw.ca Black 1995 Z28 TT (nearing completion ...)

QUOTE (RedHardSupra @ Mar 18 2005, 01:31 AM) I got the spindles with the brakes i think, right Trackbird? (i bought it from him) I'm sorry, but I'm such a mechanical moron I'm not even sure about the nomenclature of parts I got. Anyone got any pics I can point to? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Yes. you got the new spindles with the kit. The spindle is the large chunk of cast iron that the bearings and everything is bolted too (the "long" section that everything is mounted on). You will have spare spindles (though I might keep the extra bearings, but that's just me. They cost more to replace than most people sell the whole LS1 setup for.
