Killer Z I assume you havent done the brake swap yet?

 

no unfortunately not. been so busy taking my pops to dr's apt. and chemo treatments. and i've been in an out of the hospital myself. havn't had strength or time to do it. i know theres several people waiting on results, since i have OE wheels DD C5's. I really wanna do it soon. Sorry again for those who are waiting for my results.

 

No problem man our cars cant be our first priorities. I wish your father well, my aunt was just recently in the same boat, shes just finally getting her strength back. I just saw some more guys put up threads of their wheels and got the bug again. If its fairly easy, Im gona drop my plan for CCWs and put that money elsewhere and go with the nicest budget wheels around.

 

Gonna try to test fit this Sunday. Both the 9.5 and 10.5" wheels. That way those that have the 18x10.5 in the front will know the what size spacer is needed.

 

Good **** man, cant wait.

 

For those contemplating this swap, there is a new rotor choice available from the 2010 SS Camaro. There are some pro's and cons. See more here:

KillerZ any progress?

 

Has anyone made a list of wheels that will fit without hub spacers? Or with X mm spacer?

 

Most are using C6 ZO6 wheels but you can always go the custom route.

 

well i got done test fitting my brakes to my 18X9.5 DD C5, and well I need a spacer. bigger than 5mm. didnt take precise measurements. hopefully i can get some cheapo spacers from autozone to just test fit so i can find the right size and order an eibach or H&R spacer.

 

I still think its gona be about 15mm. Offset is +54mm so assuming the spokes dont screw things up thatd put you at +39mm which should give you plenty of room.

 

yeah i think im gonna start off bigger then work my way down. I also want to put a spacer in the back since i'm rubbing a bit. finaly seen how bad i was rubbing. I dont think i'm gonna have my friend do the brake install. He didnt want to use the washers to line up the calipers he said they were fine as i was insistant on using them. also kept stating that the calipers are floating calipers. i'm like no theyre fixed. makes me wonder if i should let him do it. i'm sure i can do it myself. its the whole bleeding thing thats makes me want someone else to do it.

 

Bleeding brakes is pretty easy with a second body. All you really need is 1 other person to pump/hold the brakes to push fluid through the lines while you do the work. Keep plenty of fluid in the reservoir so air doesn't get in the lines and you'll do alright.

 

Or you can buy a vacuum bleeder and do it by yourself. Easy stuff.

Is there's any visiting spot in Modesto I can spend a day with the wife. Sounds like a field trip to me

 

Lol. Hmm Modesto Modesto. Eh not really. Mall isn't all that compared to what's in the bay. I could always use a field trip to the bay .

 

A drive way, a compressor and all kinds of hand tool is all I've here.

Have everything install in daytime and cruise around town at night sounds like fun.

 

Oh, just found a set of caliper from a 04 CTS-V. Very nice deal shipped from a junkyard in Sacramento.
