Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
DId you mean 63 and up ?? I have a coil sprung front end.
Defiantely would love the big brakes.....However, 13" brakes wont work with a stock 15" wheel......wonder if they make 17" wide-whites !!! John

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
I think I would like to run these mothers and they should bolt right up if this kit gets made.

I love the look of those ZO6 calipers but have you checked out the price for the pads for those puppies?  I new they weren’t cheap but they were almost as much as the caliper itself!

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Scoti, I'm not sure who you have lined up on this but they are a lot of "do it yourself" options out there. The only thing that needs to be manufactured is the caliper mounting bracket, and mod the spindle to mount it.
You can machine down a 70-87 (5x5) hub and use C-4 hats to mount the 13" PBR C-4 rotors. Of course the hats would have to be re-drilled to 5x5 pattern. The brackets attach to the truck spindles, and you can mount C4 Calipers. The hats, rotors, and calipers can be bought brand new from parts suppliers, and the saving is very big.

But I would prefer to have a hub that was intended for the purpose rather than one that wasn't (old rotor being cut down) & C4 13" rotors are kind of thin ( <1.25") so I prefer a thicker rotor for my heavier truck.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
I have B body spindles on my 67 Chevelle with hubs cut down from Camaro rotors, 12" Corvette 1 1/4" rear rotors and Suburban calipers (3 5/8" piston). Cutting down the truck rotor should not be a problem.
The setup has been on the Chevelle for years and I have not had any problems with the custom made hubs. It works great! Dave |

The main concern is making sure it's done responsibly. How much structural evaluation of the hub is actually done after the machine work? Did you just machine it & install it with 'real world' or 'on the road' testing? Do you have any pics?

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Not sure if you have contacted either of these guys in your research. They have both designed C5 brake conversions for A/F Body Chevys. If they do not have a kit for our trucks, they may be willing to create one if there is enough interest.
I am not sure how to post a link, but here are the websites: http://www.kore3.com/ http://www.engineeredvelocity.com/ |

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Sounds great get er done! Then move on to rear and 4x4. I prob missed it but why can they fit 4 wheel disc under my silverado w/ 16'' rims but they would make this kit that requires mega money for the 17'' wheels, 17'' tires and kit?

I hated to vote "no thanks", but my truck is 3/4 ton, and my budget is one ounce.
