Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Should be very similar to what you have. I went back and forth with the 'other' C5 brake vendor for a while, but kept coming back to Kore3 and Tobin for the quality and timeliness of response. So far very impressed with the quality of the parts and packaging as well. Hope this works...
Thanks! Should pair nicely with rear discs- tired of pushing the brake pedal and hoping... Quote:

My spindles are 1" rotor Belltechs, so these are actually the hubs spec'd for an Impala SS. They do offer hubs for both light-duty and heavy-duty truck spindles, but I don't see them listed on his webpage...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
The drop spindles required less material to be removed when I did them.

Good news! I think I'll have a machine shop do the drilling/tapping on the Belltechs- one, to make sure they're right, and two, my hands are killing me from tapping those 1/2-13 holes...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Ok! First, a couple of pics comparing the rotors, old vs new. Mmmmm... Beefy.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Next, the caliper mock-up. Fits just like it belongs there. Weimaraner approved!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
...and wheel fitment. Due to the shallow hat on the rotor and the huge caliper, the caliper is extremely close to my wheel spokes. So close, in fact, that I'll have to install brake pads to determine if it's going to hit or not. With the caliper FULLY extended, it just barely grazes the back of the spoke- I'm hoping the pads are thin enough to allow some clearance, if not, I may need a small spacer. Coy's C5s apparently don't have this issue...
They do look good in there, though ![]()

Haha- wondered if anyone would catch that... Thanks! Stay tuned- more to come. Now that I know the brakes work/fit there are parts-a-plenty rolling in on the big brown truck...

Nice work! BTW, I could drill and tap your spindles if you get in a pinch. If you don't mind shipping them to me.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Awesome build! You knocked out a TON of work in a very short period of time, AND you didn't hack anything up, it all looks GREAT! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on everything else too, you've had one heck of a year!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
More parts arriving daily:
Porterbuilt (Addco) front anti-sway bar arrived today, required to compliment the forthcoming PB control arms. At 31lbs shipping weight and 1.25" diameter, it should be beefy enough to handle anything I can throw at it. It has all required hardware, including bushings that require NO GREASE ![]() Requisite car parts in the living room shots:
