i would suggest getting all new hydraulics for your car. since that's getting a bit high in mileage and it wouldn't hurt.....

check with T56rebuilds.com. that's where i got mine from. someone said a site called Fred Beans or something was less?? i have no idea though. just go through and check all the sponsors. till you find the cheapest, but they are all around the $550ish pricerange

oh and....when we doin this?

let me go ahead and tell you what i ddi for my hydraulics which is a trick! go to orielys ask for the master and slave for 99 camaro they will bring u u the right one. Now it is not the old ls1 hydaulic setup it is the new ls6 master and slave even tho it was for a 99, it wont pull up in there computer for an 01 or 02. But when gm started making the new and updated ls6 hydraulics every yr model replacement was the updated version. There brand will be brake best or w/e but no need to worry it is the same as GM ive compared same manufactor....... on ward with the trick, when u put ur new stuff in take ur old hyrdaulic set up take a tooth brush and a can of brake cleaner to the slave cylinder and m/c to it and scrub to make the old ones look new and go back the next day and return it to some dumbass redneck at orielys and tell him it didnt fit and u want your money back.... therefore FREE

this has worked numberous times....

ya, all is good until another car enthuists comes in & they sell him your old **** in the box for the new stuff.

I don't see why some people gotta try to scam for such things. Its just a part, replace it & move on. Why take a chance of screwin some one else.

CHEAP ***.
