WTF??? I thought you were broke??? I was gonna say" HAH! Welcome to the club." lol.

Congrats anyway. Post some pic's.

well....the good thing about the brakes is that I'm getting them through CSK Proshop (checker's auto). And my job has an account through them so I get a huge discount on everything. So I'll basically be paying half of what anyone else would pay.

Can either I adopt you or you adopt me so I can get a family discount?

Hm.. a red first and 2nd gen in the family? All you would need then is to adopt Dave (Drvngstorm) and another member (Who's name I forgot) that has a 97 SS.. then you'd have all 4 gens in red. That'd be cool.

if you need more money, il give you 1000 bucks for your camaro

$4000 cash, c'mon

hahahahahahaaaaaa



ha

4500 and a cowl induction hood for a 68

Anyone know of a place cheeper than tire rack to get tires and rims from???

Im thinking about getting the American Racing Hopster rims with BFG Radial T/A tires or Traction T/A tires (not sure what I want yet)

heres a link to the rims I want.

Eh.. I goto a flea market.. my 17s that are on my Monte Carlo cost around 1200 and I got em for 850.. with tires..

yeah but i highly doubt ill find those rims at a flea market...anyway...i NEED tires before the show in a month and I want to get rims right away.

I would keep the original rims.. and just get new tires.

i am keeping them. In the corner of the garage.

try vulcantire.com , they are pretty cheap

check ebay. Friend of mine got a set of 18" z06 wheels with dunlop tires for 1300-1400 dollars. Triple plated chrome and all.

il trade you a set for your camaro

no matter how hard you try..your not getting my maro...

it cant be that hard to steal

i like the rally rims, i dont think you can get much cheaper than ebay though.

So your running 4 wheel drums?

yup

How much are disc brake conversion kits? Considering I am pretty damn sure you're not gonna find a JL8 being parted out lol

yup
That sucks. If I was going to go broke I’d at least get discs up front.

I’m pretty sure the front disc setup off a 2 gen will fit on a 1 gen.

Now that I think about it there are probably a lot of 70's GM cars with a front disc setup that could be used on a 1 gen Camaro.

conversion kits tun from about $700-$1000 for the front. When I do it, Im going to be going to 4 wheel disk.

Oh and Elk. All of this stuff NEEDED to be done ASAP. If you would like to donate money for it ill be glad to accept it. Im sorry that I can not please everyone all at once considering it is your car and all. And I have to get it done by the 18th which was 3 weeks when I started. So Id like to see you get all of the stuff Im doing and a disk brake conersion kit on top of that. These brakes are just to hold me over until I can get the kits. The brake parts didn't cost me barely anyything due to my CSK discount.

Is it a different experience trying to brake with drums? I dont think ABS drums exist do they?

I figured swapping discs for drums on front was no big deal. If your waiting till you can do all 4 I can understand just redoing the drums.

They fade a lot faster then discs. They lose a lot of the stopping if you don’t take them apart and clean them a lot. They line between stopping and locking up the brakes is harder to find. And of course there not as powerful discs even when there working right.

they're cheap and last twice as long though

True, but it’s been my experience that replacing brake pads twice is way less work then keeping a set of drum brakes working right for the same amount of time.

why drum brakes are easy to change

why drum brakes are easy to change
Not as ease as discs. The drum is always rusted on the axle and when I get them off end of the axle the little bit of rust on the inside gets jammed against the brake shoes making it harder to get the drums off and when I do I have deal with all the springs and all the other stuff inside. Then I have to adjust them. And it’s been my experience that I have to take apart and clean and readjust the brakes 2 or 3 times to keep them working right before they wear out .

With disc brakes all I have to do is take off the caliper clean it replace the disc and pads put the caliper back on pump the brakes to adjust the pads. And then they work till they wear out.

drum brakes arent as hard as your making them seem man. I do them all the time and they are easy as hell. If theyre stuck to the axle, you hit with a hammer a couple times. big deal. Oh and mine werent stuck to the axle by the way and I dont know when the last time they were taken off.

I was talking about dealing with drum brakes on a daily driver. I wouldn’t expect the drums to be stuck on your Camaro.
