Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
Front and rear were rebuilt and powdercoated by
Lonestar Caliper. The rears came from Keen Parts and due to very limited availability and unobtainable by Keen the fronts came directly from Lonestar and was the only set they had on the shelf. Lonestar does sell retail even though their website says wholesale only. You can send your cores to them but it would probably take a few weeks to get them back. Ask for Patti Lewis. You‘ll love her Texas Drawl... |

I didn't know the J55 fronts were that hard to get. They are available here in Alabama. The rears I should have sent out, but almost done with the rebuild now. I wanted to powder coat but this was a good Covid project. The G2 epoxy kit seems to have worked well but only time will tell. My main concern now is getting the parking brake set and adjusted...did you do that yet? I have read FSM.

Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
This thread cost me money but then again, the economy needs help!
Found a new set of 96 Grand Sport calipers at Keen Parts, still in GM boxes. They could not believe they were on the shelf and said they were the last set. Know they are hard to find being only 1 years so pulled the trigger. Now thinking about new rotors and pads. Current set are 8 years old and have about 40,000 miles on them so might be time. Advance Auto has Power Stop K1518-26 Front and Rear Z26 Muscle Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pad and Drilled & Slotted Rotor Kit with 25% off (about $435 shipped with tax). Any suggestions? Thanks |

Check out the Baer Eradispeed rotors. 2 Piece, drilled/slotted with aluminum hat. Much lighter than cast iron. They’re pricey, but look great and theoretically work better. (probably no real difference on a street car...) Shop around, prices vary widely... Eckler’s, Mid Am, Baer website etc are the highest. I’ve had mine for about 5 years w/Hawk HPS pads and they still look new. |

Thanks and will check them out.
