Can ECE and CPP suspension parts mix? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MisterE72 · 01-16-2008, 05:17 PM

I'm lookin' at buying ECE's 4 - 6 drop (2.5 spindles..ect) and I like CPP's rear disk brake kit with crossdrilled rotors. I figure I may as well get matching rotors up front. Do the CPP rotors fit ECE spindles?

Thanks.

I would like to know also. Hopefully others will chime in.

This is a question you may have to ask ECE and CPP but, with that said, I would think if CPP brakes bolts to the factory mountings on the original spindles, I can't see why they wouldn't bolt to Early Classics drop spindles, and work. My factory calipers mounted to the Early Classic drop spindles as a direct bolt on. There was nothing extra to do other than to replace the spindles.

I just thought I run it through you folks first since they don't open until tomorrow. Did you also replace the front brake disk? I'm wondering if I would need to buy new calipers as well if I go with anything other than the stock brake disk.

yes the parts work with each other.i used ECE drop spindels with CPP cross drilled rotors ,they go right on.the only problem you might have is with the rear disc set up that CPP makes.they use various parts to put it together . but no need to worry ECE does not offer rear disc anyway last time i checked.

I reused the original calipers, rotors and disks on the new spindles. I did not replace my rotors.

I don't see why they wouldn't fit nor work together.
