They are currently the only vendor fabricating the adaptor bracket for the larger rotors.

Yeah, they only have Lou and one other working walk-ins, phone and e-mail.

I e-mailed Lou some information about the LGM track day and he never saw it. Oh well ...

So, they are spread a little thin ...

Best bet ... call ...

Mitch is right,

Just give me a call on Monday. We have the Brake Kits in stock and ready to ship.

It has been busy at LGM so just give us a call.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Thanks

If you want a quick answer, you should call ...

The only thing you might need is slightly longer brake lines.

And for whatever reason, the heads on the C5 caliper bolts are larger than the F-Body. Thread size, pitch and length are all the same ...
