Vette brakes? Holy expensive there capt lol hydroboost and upping to 13" rotors up front from an suv should be a pretty solid difference. Tis what i eventually want too
Lol that's why I said I'd look into them :rofl: i figured they'd be way more than I'd want to spend on this thing.

If you don't get vette calipers, or any other performance style calipers, you could always run some MGP covers.
Just gives it more of a stylish look, without being ricey...

you want impressive stopping power. go with the Baer eradispeed kit for 2005+ silverados. If you dont have the 05+ dual piston calipers, then you will have to get a set of those as well. $600 for 15" drilled and slotted rotors with brackets and will be set up for Z06 calipers later on should you want to get them.
Well shit. I should have bought that kit instead lol. Guess I know what I'm buying next time.

Watcha know about them vette brakes? :rofl:
I only had about $1100 total on the conversion on the Chevy. :shrug:
:ffuuu: I'm going tomorrow or Sunday for sure!
Fawk. That's more than I'll spend on this pile haha.
Couldn't get any pictures with the wheels on as it got dark but I'll get some tomorrow. Mother of God these things stop 9000% better than what was on here.

Thanks bro. Yea everything under there looks like pewp. It was all painted it one paint but it's been a while and this thing gets driven a lot lol.
Forgot to mention, I also cranked the keys up a little. Probably at about 5" up front now. It's a lot more drivable at this height. No tire rubbing and not as much scraping lol.

No major updates. Buuuuutt I bought some jbl 6.5s and tweets from Eddie.
Huge improvement over the factory bose.
Still gotta upgrade the rear. Probably gonna remount the factory bose tweets in the backseat somewhere for now, until i buy new rear speakers.

FINALLY found a driveshaft that is the right size. Got it in today along with a new battery and drove the truck for the first time in a little over 3 weeks.
Also found a few more pictures of the frame, 3 link and coilovers I'm getting.
Getting pretty excited about finally getting this thing on some nice suspension. Probably looking at doing it around the end of the year or so.
Here are the new link bars travis made for me.
