Caliper Decalinginging

[mechguy]

Hardly worth making a thread.

Ordered new rebuilt LS1 calipers. Not sure what they will arrive as appearance wise.

Thinking of putting trans am decals on them.

Originally wanted "corvette" text, but didn't want to taint/defile/corrupt/disrespect the corvette name by putting it on a GP.

Trans Am's aren't too much more respected than GPs so this is more suitable.

Opinion?

If you wanted corvette decals i say go for it bro!
They do sell GP decals. I believe Drunkie has em?

 

[NegativeOne13]

I say put Yugo on the calipers.

 

[Hippo Machine]

Do corvette. It makes it look more like an expensive part.

Not Brembo. I'm not faking what I have. C5 calipers ~ LS1 Calipers.

 

[matt5112]

Drunkie has C6 calipers.

C5 =/= LS1 F body.

So which are they?

 

[mechguy]

^ F-body, just as I originally said. They are ~ equal, just as I formerly said.

 

[matt5112]

How? F body pots are larger. more force.

 

[mechguy]

Approximately equal calipers. Body is probably the same casting. Yes I know about the pistons.

Edits: Not the same cast. What I meant is same exterior dimensions.

 

[matt5112]

Cool.

So you want sleeper or look at me?

That decides what to put on it.

I wouldn't put T/A on there, let alone Corvette.


Because...IT ISN'T ONE.

bam.

If they are Corvette brakes, how are they not Corvette?

 

[matt5112]

But they're not.

 

[mechguy]

They are corvette calipers that have larger pistons (I.E. the SAME cast was reamed slightly further for larger pistons). Also a different part #.

Blue, if somebody transplanted an LS7 into a 69 Z28, would you refuse to drive it because it says corvette on the engine cover?

Dude do what the **** you want. It's your car.

 

[matt5112]

It's our car.

Now you can't do what you like! :th_nanana:

Lol fail... YOUR CAR

You guys go and hurt my feelings, now I'm going to jump off a second floor balcony and break my ankles.

Leave them alone... Noone cares about your brakes. Your car probably isn't fast enough to need anything besides stock brakes anyway.
