Big Brakes
When I see sport cars like the corvette with huge rotors and brake calibers I envy them. What company sells big brake kits for our cars? I know JBP has a big brake kit but its off the charts to expensive. So where can I get these Monster rotors, brake calibers, pads, hose lines the whole deal?

diamters are 312 for LSJ or 315 mm for TC is as big as it gets, x 28 mm. floating from OTTP. The vette has 355 mm and you can buy 380 mm rotors That sort of swept area cannot be packaged and made to work within the hydraulic system of the Delta cars

air. bleed left rear right front right rear left front. bleed front calipers outside bleeder then inside bleeder. look for leaks. You got new crush washers, new seals, you got air somewhere....O and the more you f**k with it the softer it gets

Haz l33t wheelz.
duh. They're bled. Trust me, nothing but clean fluid comes out of the lines, i was wondering more along the lines of the master cylinder size being different, or if i need to bleed up by the clutch as well.

haha, ok, well, they were gushing pure fluid, everything is topped off...
now, i also have an ABS light, but HPT won't pull a code, any idea if they're connected?

for the soft pedal you may need to do an abs bleed its not usually needed but i dont know how far apart your car has been dismantled, you need a tech 2 to do it better fly maven out and get it all done at once...the codes make no sense unless your connectors are not done up. I have the same front bearings you have its 100% and ditto on all grand am cobalts and you dont have an 07 so .....tech 2 scan will tell you where the abs fault is. I did rotate the rear caliper pistons back to accomodate new pads, so you may need to ratchet the hand brake a few times to get the rear pads up tite, if they are not you can have a spongy pedal change to email or sites for more
