You wouldnt believe how cheap these mods are bro! But they look just as hot as a new Willwood kit or Brembo. AND these parts can be had at any parts place (except for the Kore3 stuffs) Im headed to Skips right now and see what it dew...Then come back to da lab and go hard on my own set. First chris got me with Tha Runt and now you!! Soon! I'll have one soon! And tucked front and rears are a must!!!!! Lookin sharp fam!!

updated a link in my sig for my fronts! Ill have to pull a set for you LS1s front and back (of course Ill do the labor part free!), then shoot the stuff to Warren for his touch (just gotta hit him up, far as price for paint, clean up, etc.)... then Ill help you throw it on and mod the rear...

besides cutting the rear flange, and modding the ebrake, super easy, you need a disc/disc factory replacement prop valve the one that goes in the stock position and accepts the stock lines...

So today went to long beach swapmeet, got some valve covers, some other items for the carb set, filter,lines, etc...when i got hm i started to fit the bumpers and of course they never line up...i mean it wasent bad i just had to pull the front fenders about 1/2 inch on each side and worked out well..but the back theres no way i could pull it, so i came to a conclusion, i will bolts one side then push in the bumper just by like 1/2 inch to where the bolts line up and make my holes and screw it in..i test fitted it with my wifey holing the bumper and looks good and all lines up...maybe next week i will takle it down..SS mirros in the mail, will do alittle body work my self and send her off to paint...oh yea i dont know how im going to fix the hole key on the trunk, its popped!!
Just a little update..
