These kits also require that you have at least 17" wheels. WES

class01 · 02-28-2008, 03:52 AM

Are these 2 piston front and rear?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-28-2008, 04:00 AM

Yes they are the 2 piston Calipers. WES

qksilver · 02-28-2008, 06:30 AM

when you say solid, do you mean smooth? The rotors are vented?

Yes I mean smooth. They are GM rotors so they are vented.

All I have are some that I copied from the flyer that I was sent out by my supplier. Sorry they are different size pictures because my computer seems to not like one file over the other...lol

Also I was informed this morning that the 5 on 5 rear kits won't be ready until next weak. However the 5 on 4 3/4 rear kits are availible now. All front brake kits are availible now. (Just to avoid confusion) WES

as asked earlier, is the rear kit a dual piston caliper? cause the picture posted is a single pistion caliper....????

70rs/ss · 02-29-2008, 02:37 AM

Fronts would more than likely be two and the rear one?

CHYNSPR · 02-29-2008, 02:44 AM

Are the rears rotors 13" as well?

Thanks

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-04-2008, 06:06 AM

They are Duel Piston GM Callipers, and both front and rear rotors are 13". WES

**N2TRUX** · 03-04-2008, 07:00 AM

What axle does the rear fit? 10 and 12 bolt or ?

SO is that the price of the kit or just the rotors?

This is just the picture that the developer supplied. I called and asked if it got a single piston calliper or a duel piston and was told the duel piston.

10 and 12 bolt.

The price is for the kit. There is a $50.00 difference in the price of solid rotors and cross drilled. That is what the prices in the quotations are for. WES

stunna · 03-08-2008, 07:28 PM

no slotted and drilled rotors available?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-08-2008, 09:36 PM

Sorry not at this time. WES

We are developing new 5 on 5 axles for the guys with the 63-69 12 bolt rear ends to make it easier to convert to 5 lug systems. The reason that we didn't include 1970 in the mix is because the axle length is the same for the 70 as 71 and newer, so stock axles are direct replacements. WES

jorgensensc · 03-08-2008, 10:16 PM

Hey Wes,
Great looking kit. Are the rotors truly drilled, or dimpled? In the past I have bought drilled rotors, and have had cracking problems. I have since changed over to slotted and dimpled style rotors which look the same, but maintain structural integrity. Just asking as many manufacturers are actually calling the rotors drilled when in fact they are dimpled.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-09-2008, 12:46 AM

They are drilled but they are drilled on C&C machines at the manufacture. (Not over seas like some) We do have the solid rotors availible also though. WES
