I'm tempted to do this, you would think they would be willing to do more for more sales?

Yeh I'm with brian on this, can we get a rotor modification drawing?

Put an email in for you guys.

You mean more than 20% off if we got more people? I doubt it and 20% off is a pretty good deal for a group buy. I think it would be hard to get even 5 people, heck as it looks right now I might be the only one.

I'm all over Ohio

How much for a complete kit? does anyone else here have them installed?

The basic kit ready to install $343.96 plus shipping. Shipping would be split with how ever many people get in this.

I'm sure some other people have it installed but the guy that installed them on the other forum said it was a very easy install and a good improvement over the stock drums.

 

[ramayer]

yes the pads come with. they are calipers from a 78-83 Monte Carlo, so new pads would be likewise

but it uses GM parts....:sorry: I'd never hear the end...:blahblah: too many GM guys at work and only 3 Mopar guys left. sounds like a good deal but may be a PITA to replace parts...and rotors will need changed eventually.

Yeah, that'd be my biggest worry since they are custom rotors. Who knows if they'll be around in a few years so supply new ones?

The rotors are not custom. They are stock dakota/durango front rotors that have been machined to clear. Were working on getting the specs now but even with out them I can guarantee you can take the rotor that comes with the kit and a stock rotor to a local machine shop and they can replicate it.

I was talking in terms of more friendly shipping options. So the park brake option uses the back caliper from an Eldorado. I agree about the GM parts, but I guess I can keep that a dirty little secret!:brick:

I noticed they list a cable extension. Do we need an extension for the park cable?

No drawings but the diameter of the inside of the rotor needs to be opened up to 7.5".
Does anyone have a stock rotor that they could measure or know the inside diameter of the rotor?

You will need part number 3111, that is an adapter to allow your stock cables to work with the caliper.

You know sometimes it's just unavoidable. Just look what most people do with rear end builds, they put ford ends on them. It's just a caliper anyways.

Don't tell any of the R/T guys running the 255/50/17 tires that they are the stock size on the '94-'96 Impalla SSs and without that, they probably wouldn't be as available.

Good info!
I actually run Riken Raptor 255/50/17 on my 17x9's now, primarily because Michelin quit making :rant: Pilot LTX 255/55/17 (OEM R/T size, albeit Goodyear).

I am asuming so but does this kit also work on the Gen I/II trucks as well? I think the axle flange offset is the same but I'm not sure

Count me in.

If the axle flange is in the same position it will fit and it will fit both the 9.25" and the 8.25". I don't know the axle specs for the older trucks off hand.

Count me in.

Sweet, tell me what you want. As in you're getting the basic kit that comes with the rotors, brackets, bolts. But do you want calipers also and brake lines or are you doing that your self? Check out their website and list what you want. Thanks!

I would need the kit plus the parking brake calipers (p/n 3110), S/S flex lines (p/n 3702-8), and parking brake cable extensions (p/n 3111).

Alright thank you! I'll put you down and try to get one more person.

Keep in mind, folks, that not only will these discs have better stopping power than the drums that will be replaced, but your truck engine and drivetrain will also have an easier time of rotating the rear wheels.

Instead of having to spin up 50 pounds worth of brake drum (2 each 11 inch drums at 25 lbs apiece), they'll will only have to spin up about 30 pounds worth of brake disc. According to my college physics-based estimate, that's worth a gain of about 0.5 MPH for a 1/4 mile run, for a perfectly stock engine. That translates into a gain of about 5 HP, which isn't much by itself. However, this gain is on top of the gain realized by reducing unsprung mass, and the gain from having disc brakes over drum brakes.

Did you decide or figure out the shipping on these kits?
