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

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
Fronts would more than likely be two and the rear one?

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
Are the rears rotors 13" as well?

Thanks

Classic Heartbeat 03-04-2008 06:06 AM

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
They are Duel Piston GM Callipers, and both front and rear rotors are 13". WES

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

no slotted and drilled rotors available?

Classic Heartbeat 03-08-2008 09:36 PM

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
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

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
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.

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
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

The parts take 2 to 3 days to get to me, then whatever time FedEx takes to get to you.

Yes we do. I didn't list them because I thought nobody would want them. (Same price) WES

ive never done any type of brake conversion before... what do you do about replacement parts and stuff for when its needed?

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
Wes, are these off-the-shelf parts? When I need to replace one, will it be readily available at any parts house or are these special order only rotors? Seriously considering this kit in the future.

Everything except the spindles for the front and the mounting brackets from the rear are supposed to be off the shelf GM parts according to the flyer I got.

Everything was test fitted on trusks as they were being developed.

See answer above. If you choose cross drilled rotors, then you will probably have to by them from a company that manufactures them because the cross drilled rotors are drilled on my supplier's C&C machines.
Guys, The company that makes this kit is a large company here in the USA. They have been around developing drop kits and disc brake conversions for everything from a 55 shoe box to lowering kits for the latest 2008 Tahoe and Silverados.
Anyone who has done business with me knows that I stand behind everything I sell even longer than most companies. My 70 2x4 Blazer will get both front and rear kits when it get to that point, because it aready has 20" wheels and tired sitting upstairs for it. I have to concintrate my efforts on my panel for now to get it finnished first though. WES

Anything for a 4x4 6-lug? Or at least for the rear?

Classic Heartbeat 03-17-2008 01:18 AM

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
All we have for the 4x4 now is the 11" rear disk brake conversion kits. This is because of the 6 lug bolt pattern. WES

Do you have a direct link to this? I could not find it on the website. Thanks

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
Loss of interest? These are a pretty good deal to get large rotors and calipers for your truck. Just look at the price of the Bear systoms. WES

Brad 03-20-2008 09:45 PM

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
I'm interested, but won't be doing this for several months if I go with it. I'd need bigger wheels first.

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
im interested too, need to get some rims also and swap my rear axles to 5lug.....oh and I need some money

Re: Big 13" Front and rear Disk brake kits!!
 
I'm going to grab a rear set as soon as work picks up.
