Front: Rotora 14" rotors with 6 piston calipers on AFX spindles and SPC uppers and lowers(yes, I know drilled rotors are stupid but the kit came with them)
Rear: Rotora 12" rotors with the F-body brake system

wow very nice i cant wait till im at that stage

very nice, should stop on a dime!

& give you 9 cents change. :D

Whats the deal with the big alum spacers on the rear? Who did you get your set up through?

i bet he is going to use Vette wheels...

Which set up ?
I am using C6 Z06 wheels :http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t44/kimberr69/HPIM1175.jpg

Looks nice but why do you say "drilled rotors are stupid". The object is to let stuff, be it debris, water, grit or gas that comes out of the brake lining as it wears get out from between the pad & rotor. The slots are there to shear off a small amount of lining which is helpful to prevent the lining from getting glazed

Slots are useful but drilled has been proven to cause stress cracks with heavy use ie: track use.You will never see drilled rotors on a Nascar.If you do a search in the brakes forum,drilled and slotted rotors have been extensively discussed.

You will also never see a blower on a nascar, doesn't mean they're bad:thumbsup: If the rotors are of high quality, I don't see how there would be a problem.

Very cool! What length flex lines were you thinking of going with on the fronts?

The front brakes came with flex lines ,I just have to check if they will work. I can't find my damn frame clips for the brake hoses !

the drilled vs slotted debate is way over done. everybody has their own research, and i have found good sources that say it does help. does it weaken the rotor? yep. but the question is whether or not it helps. for me, it just looks way too damn cool.

I like it to, but if they ever crack I will post it !

I have yet to see a crossdrilled rotor crack from STREET use-- even heavy street use... my own application included. I've used my X-drilled rotors many times doing heavy stops from the 140-160mph range back down to 55mph or less-- and there are zero cracks or odd wear. They still look great! However after a heavy stop or two they get cool-down time-- something a rotor on a roadcourse doesn't get.

At a friends shop where both he and many of his customers have track-day cars I have seen dozens of crossdrilled rotors piled in his shop with cracks from track day use, often after 1 day (4 or 5 20 minute sessions.) The solid rotors eventually heat check & crack too from track day use/abuse but they last quite a bit longer.

I personally would not run a crossdrilled rotor on a roadcourse (solid or slotted only) because of all the cracked ones I have seen. The holes indeed serve as crack propagation points / stress risers. My experience, as well as many others I know, is that on the street they're OK-- they just don't reach the very high temperatures and sustain those temperatures long enough on the street for the cracking problem to occur. I know it sounds lame but I do like the looks of them... which is why I run them on the street. And they perform perfectly fine on the street. I will never sacrifice performance and especially safety for looks, but for STREET duty crossdrilled rotors are OK by me. Mine have lived 6 years now and I'm quite sure mine have seen more of a workout than most street cars will ever give their brakes. However I would never run them on a roadcourse.

All that being said... when I finally take my car to the track I'll buy a dedicated set of solid C5/C6 rotors ($20/ea from the GM dealer, "track-n-toss") and matching nasty pads for them. Not only because I don't like drilled rotors on the track but because that way I can have a set of rotors & track pads already bedded in and I don't have to worry about trashing a set of high-dollar 2-piece drilled Baer Eradispeeds with aggressive pads.

This will be a street/track car so I might look into getting a second set of solid rotors.The problem is 14" rotors are not cheep.I got a good deal on the kit and it came with the drilled rotors.

Do you know what size the pistons are in those calipers?

Andrew

I think they are 30mm or 32mm,I would have to double check.
They might even be 35mm.

Jamie - did you make or buy that spacer behind the rear backing plate? I need some too!

I made a cardboard template and made them out of 1/4" alum.

Yes! I was thinking the same material! I have nothing that could cut that center hole in steel - but I have plenty of hole saws that can cut aluminum!

That's what I did.Use a brand new hole saw if you can with a good mandrel on a drill press.(It has a tendency to wander with a hole saw that big)Pre drill the centre with a small bit,that helps also.
I still haven't fabbed up a bracket for the E-brake,but it will mount on the lower control arm mount and get Chevelle cables made a bit longer with the F-body end for the backing plate.

Jamie - I cut a stock f body one up.....it's not done yet, but test fit last night. Here is the stock part - its basically two pieces welded together.

Cut the welds with a grinder and and you get a piece that will bolt to the LCA mount and kick the cable in from the tire.....

I'm a little embarrased to show these in the same thread as your axle......

Looks nice and all but will she go fast to use those big bad brakes??

The 2 brackets I got are totally different than each other,one works but the other one is awkward want them to look exactly the same.I think I can cut and re-weld the odd one.

Ya but your car is way nicer than my 2 dr post.It needs paint and bodywork(when the chassis is done.)I would give my left nut for a convertible.

I have a bad ass inline 6 cylinder punched out to 250 ci and a K+N filter with a 8" exhaust tip and a big basket handle rear spoiler !

Have you figured out master cylinder, booster, proportioning valves yet? Care to share? Thanks!

I won't get to that until the body is on the frame but it will probably be a 7/8" master with the Hydroboost set up and the adjustable proportioning valve/distribution block combo unit.

I love that disc brake set up. What year Chevelle you running that in? How much did it set you back? And were can I get it at? Everything adjustablehttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/JadaFreak/MISC/Smiley/drool.gif

Very nice! You gotta love rotors the size of a large pizza! :D The drilling in those rotors looks a lot better than some at least they have a nice chamfer to prevent them from being radial stress risers.
The rest of the package is pretty darn nice too... :thumbsup: Mark SC&C

Thanks for the info Homie

Hey what size rubber you gonna put on those bad boys???

I have to run 18" wheels to clear the front brakes,295/35/18 out back and 275/35/18 up front on C6 Z06 wheels.
