Brandon, I've heard that there is alot of drag on the wheel from the calipers with the setup. Can you spin your wheels pretty freely?
98 s10 brakes - yes yes?

I've always found that set up attractive. Not only having the 11" rotors, but also the upgrade to dual piston calipers.
I would grab them for $120. that's an excellent price.
Somewhere I've seen someone convert that set up using large Corvette rotors.
The only thing is that the calipers would need to be moved outward using a machined extension, if you will.

I wanted this swap for my Malibu so the 11" would be great for the 16" wheel setup.
Only thing is the truck was hit pretty hard quarter first and the wheel took the hit. I have to still go look at it, but kinda leary now that I know more about the damage.

There's info on the turbobuick.com forum for the C5 Vette brakes swap. It's pricey though, somethin' I'd stay away from just because of the price of servicing :lol:
Yeah, the wheels do spin freely. I haven't driven the car much since the swap. Today I drove it a couple miles to a friends house and the sound went away after a block or so. This weekend I'm gonna remove the front wheels and inspect them.Tony_SS said:
On a side note when I drove the car I noticed the steering was pretty sloppy. I think the steering box is "loose". Right now the car has the steering box with a big circle on top, I want to replace it with on from a GN with the four bolt top cover. Does anyone know if the hose fittings have the same threads in both boxes?
Sorry 'bout thethread jack Tony.
You should be alright. You could also get a Monte SS or even an S10 Xtreme box IIRC. Those are quick ratio, and so are some F-Body boxes.

Be sure to read the whole thread. dwkohout did it to the (I believe) 12-bolt in his Cutty. It may work on the other rears, but I'm not positive. If it does, I'll also be doing the rear disc conversion.
