That's pretty cool! After working on my front k-member all weekend, I can appreciate how much bigger those calipers are!

What were you doing to your k-member?

little off topic

How do you know what way to put D+S rotors on? Mine weren't marked as to which side they go on so I just looked at other people's cars, but that didn't help any b/c I saw them going both ways. Are the slots suppose to come out from the hub pointing toward the front of the car or the back? Or does it even matter? Because I had mine both ways and couldn't tell the difference.

Damn, that looks so awesome!!I can't imagine what the difference would be over my little tiny LT1 brakes!

Our brakes are terrible. I printed off a C5 conversion clearance print, and the darn C5 calipers are very close to rubbing on the inside of my boyd's. The only way I'll know for sure if the will work or not is to cut up a lt1 spindle and bolt on the bracket and caliper. Kinda an expensive trial. I've been holding off because of that.

I'm guessing you have the TTII style Boyds (only ones I know of that the spokes curve in and might cause a problem)? If so, a simple 5/16" spacer (picked up from any local auto part store) will give you the clearance you need and you won't need new studs or anything since it is such a small spacer... A friend did it on his car.

Also, LS1 calipers (from an F-Body) should clear without any spacers... Different castings than the actual C5 calipers use...

I saw this pic on your site...


I thought I was the only one to put the stainless steel bezel on the inside of a factory Trans-Am bezel ! Man, that thing was a BEOTCH to get in there huh?!? I had to cut back pieces, install, and then epoxy back on...
