Pics of some new goodies

rebuilt c5 calipers with brackets are on there way and now I have to order the drilled and slutted rotors. Anyone have a suggestion?
I will have to paint the calipers but even after core and discount the calipers cost me 39 a piece. For just the pair brackets it was 116 shipped.i got a good deal going rebuilt I think.

I picked up a quick ratio steering box and I still have to order the pitman arm but after core it cost 90! I will get new hoses and a rebuilt pump also. More pics to follow

Power Stop has some nice looking drilled and slotted rotors. I have stock blazer sized rotors from them and they look good. I would assume they have them in C5 size. The price is prob good on Rock Auto too.

I went with dba rotors. Very nice imo and with 35 percent off the cost 69 a piece shipped. My calipers are painted and the spindles. The kore3 brake lines are in and now I have to buy new hubs. Its slow but I am still making progress...... or am I still just buying parts?

 

[Garrett1982]

I know how you feel about the progress part. I had dba rotors on an evo 8 and loved them. Nice choice.

Those arms look good in there!
