I wanted to get some plasti-dip to do a reverse evo mod like 1lowls to get that 05-06 SS look anyway. Perfect, thanks.

out of curiousity has anyone in here swapped the rear drums to discs? i just did a retarded easy swap on a saturn for the campus car club and now its got my head turning. i know powell makes caliper brackets but does anyone know the rough cost on that and what calipers he actually uses? If it would be something sorta cheap for me to do id love to, but i have a feeling its not.

i do know that i would need to get a whole ss rear axle (which aint happening) if i were to do the swap without those brackets from powell. and the numbers i found for using ss parts was closer to the $500 price range (not happening for me). if it was half that id probably be down though to do it

 

yeah I was (not very seriously) looking into doing the same thing. It would look a lot better with my wheels this summer imo, but they would have to be ''small'' for me since my winter tires are 15's. (I hear a bunch of people talk about how their 18's barely fit over brembo's and whatnot...)

 

yeah but if you have ever seen brembo's in person they are huge... im just looking at like lsj sized stuff here wear clearance isnt an issue

 

yeah no I haven't.

I just want some basic; because I only do road-daily-driver stuff anyway. I'm not going to blow cash on ''sick performance parts'' because that's not for my use; I'm pretty much just looking at rear discs from an aesthetics point of view :P

I wouldn't mind switching the front brakes (or just calipers and rotors if possible) with the ss brakes too though, so I could PC them black and not rust-colour like the **** I have now :s

 

Im in the process now of swapping. The only things im getting from powell are the brackets and redrilled rotors. It kind of depends what you want to do. Im switching to 5 lug so that means I need bearings too. You also have to find your own lsj calipers/lnf calipers, pads, and rear brake lines

 

what IC should i go with for my build.. i need cheap.. universal?

 

i just would want to swap to 4 lug discs if i do this. i know i wouldnt need hubs then (and consequently rims).

but i guess what im curious on is the cost of the brackets and getting a set of redrilled rotors?? LSJ stuff would be the easy stuff to find once i get the needed brackets.

 

Dont cheap out on ur build dude do it right the first time so u dont have to fix it later

 

i need something thatl work up to 10 psi.. i plan on upgrading down the road

 

for low boost,just get a ebay unit.Will work just fine until your able to upgrade.

 

bump.... today's pics with tristatetuners

 

put it on the lift,
took all the tires off,
cleaned the whole front subframe, lower control arms, rear axle, front struts, front knuckles and control arms
then sprayed it all down with black rustoleum to prevent any rust (just as a preventative thing) cuz some was starting along welds/seams
then covered EVERYTHING up with a commercial grade rubber underbody coating.



so im bound and determined to have no rust on this thing ever!!

 

my LS dropped on megans, 16" Enkeis on 205's,



next project- although locking ring cross threaded and ruining one projector.... not sure what to do now, ditch for FXR's or just get a new mini h1?

 

i wish i had a lift but surprisingly the underneath of mine isn't all that bad, there is some surface rust here and there at joints and stuff but that's about it. i'm lucky that the roads i mainly drive on this time of year are only cindered and not sprayed

 

mine wasnt bad either. just some surface stuff here and there from the typical 3 winters ive put it though. but figured i might as well stay ahead of the game lol

 

Get a new chrome housing the projector should be attached to it i stripped mine before and just got new piece with locking ring
