Tom\'s rear calipers

Ok Tom, they're on. I'll test them at Viper Days Sebring at the end of April. Looking forward to it.

And the piston is a snap to turn in. My stock piston was a real b*tch, same on my 98. I always cringed at having to do the rear brakes.

Chuck,

I'm glad you thought the same about turning the piston in. It seemed like my old ones took forever and barely budged after 5 minutes of rotating. I think now my probelms are solved. I hope they do you well at Sebring (let us know how it goes!).

Frank

p.s. - Thanks for the info you passed regarding the engine.

Chuck, you going to drive it before then and let inquiring minds know how you like it? How did the shake & sit method work? (I'm leaning to speed bleeders as standard equipment.)

Frank, I got your cores today. When I do the autopsy I'll let you know what I find.

Re: Tom\'s rear calipers

I've driven it already. No problems, but I'm really not getting on it on the street. Sebring will be great because I know where my pre-Tom's-upgrade braking points are. Turn one - woohoo!

Ok Tom, they're on.
Just finished with Tom's rear brakes. Haven't driven them yet, but did bleed, ran on jack stands, then bled again. Hard pedal, and install was a snap.
Look forward to driving.
Later,

Mine have been on.... but again this morning it is SNOWING!!

I like the change of seasons up here.... and I like the four seasons OK (not the group)... but geez, does winter have to eat up all the darn months?

The install was a breeze, and I look forward to my first opportunity at Summit Point in May.
