My buddy cut down my stock rotors for me. He does that on the side in the shop he works for. He does sell them and will set the brackets for the calipers shortly. I can get you his contact info if your interested. I know he's sold a few hubs to other s10 owners.

Are you asking for my buddies contact info that cut down my rotors? That's what Im assuming your asking for even though you already have cut down rotors.

*** load of pics so bare with me.



Had to remove the rear seatback to fit the wheels with tires.





Fat yo









Simulating a 2.5" spacer

















"3" spacer"















Thinking the a 3" spacer would look better especially since the front will be pretty flush.



For ***** I through the 305 tire up front. Doesn't fit too well









Pretty settled on 2.5" spacer up front although its hard to tell since you cant set the suspension where its going to be when its actually sitting on the ground. So Ill try a 2.5" and see where that sets it.























Sorry about the pics with the dog in it. I swear everytime I get the camera out she has to walk in front of it. A regular where's waldo going on.

Those are a Z06 setup. What did you decide on wheel spacers? Going with a 2.5?

Those brakes are on the 2006-2013 Corvette Z06 and Grand Sport.

PBR 6 pistons up front, and 4 pistons in the rear.

Front rotors are 14", back rotors are 13.5".

Don't worry you don't buy 2 cars, pay for college without any loans and put down over 50% on a house by spending money without thinking. What is currently planned for the money is take a girl out, buy the tq convertor and trans cooler then put the rest in my New DD fund.

Thoughts on Lizard skin sound deadener? Thinking about using both the ceramic and sound control formulas stacked on the cab floor and as much as I can get to on the back wall and front firewall. Figure its going to be the same or maybe more expensive as a dynomat bulk pack which still barely covers ext cabs but will be lightweight and being sprayed on should cover vary well on all the curvatures on my floor. I want to atleast put something down when I have the carpet pulled out to cover the old shifter hole.

I would think that would work - plus if you ever have to remove the Dynomat - I have heard horror stories that stuff blows to remove.

Summit run!



Lizard skin sound control, The original ceramic insulates against heat better but the only heat I got before was the old headers touching the cab and the t56 stick. Both should be fixed now and the sound control has to go down first. Ill try with just the sound control for now and see how it goes. At 160 a bucket its worth a shot to try just the one. Spending way too much money on this project as usual haha.







New forged 32 spline slip yoke installed.







Parts are piling up! Need my truck back already!
