Say maybe the second weekend of every third month. That way everyone knows when it is, people can take off or rearrange their schedules or whatever. Everyone has something to look forward to. Just an idea..That way everyone isn't scrambling to try to set one up. :thumbsup:

Yeah, as cool as that would be, I think that that would be way too organized for us!

More good brake information.

http://www.raceshopper.com/tech.shtml#brake_performance

Yes, I'm a bit anal in doing research . . . :tongue:

It now looks like I may go SP Performance Diamond slotted rotors. They are list $197 front and $146 rear, but I'm trying to get a discount. :wish:

The choice and description of pads helps guide you to which ones to get. They also have the steel line with free speed bleeders if ordered this month. Stay tuned.

Brake System Upgrade Interest.

Note: I'm going to talk to Jonesi and see how we need to handle this.

Folks,

I'm 99 44/100% certain what I'm going to do regarding the brake system upgrade.

I spoke with a guy at RaceShopper.com about application, technology and pricing. After researching brake rotors, pads and pricing I believe these are the ones to work with. These are not blanks that a finished to our specs and then slotted and or cross drilled, but designed from the ground up to meet high performance applications and quality. There not the cheapest, but the best total cost over time in my opinion.

If you are interested let me know what you want to do. The pricing is list, but volume discounts would apply with a minimum of 20 sets (fronts and or rears) . . and for any application they can make for us . . . including Hummers. The price break at 20 units would get us the following pricing and a discount on any other items they sell regardless of quantity.

They are a top 5 Largest Distributor of Performance Braking Products and accessories in the USA!

Here's what I'm thinking based on my discussions. All pricing is based on CL/TL with slight differences on some products. Rotor pricing was the same regardless.

SP Performance Rotors - Slotted only . . . best period they say on more than 1 site
-----------------------------------------------
List per set: 20 unit minimum Nickle coated
F - $197.04 F - $158.87 $177.86
R - $146.05 R - $117.20 $136.22

http://www.raceshopper.com/sp_rotors.shtml

Hawk HPS Pads:
---------------------
List per set: with 20 Rotor GB
F - $79.00 $70.09
R - $51.00 $49.90

Hawk HPS - High Performance Street
Street Use Hawk Performance HPS compound provides advanced braking characteristics to enhance your driving experience. This unique compound combines the safety and quality of Aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motorsports.
- Extremely low dust
- High friction/torque hot or cold
- Gentle on rotors
- Virtually noise-free
- Much improved braking over OE
- Long extended pad life


Russell® Stainless Steel Brake lines
----------------------------------------------
List Price: with 20 Rotor GB
Full Set F&R - $121 $86.20

Speed Bleeders
Set of 2 - $12.96 $8.45


ATE® Super Blue (DOT 4) Brake Fluid
----------------------------------------------
List Price: with 20 Rotor GB
Per Liter - $9.75 $8.34
Per Case - $95.00 $83.34

http://www.raceshopper.com/ate_brake_fluid.shtml

Sample Total Deal.
Front rotors and pads - $228.96, plus TT&L. (with Nickel coating $18.99 more)
w/ SS bake lines, speed bleeders and fluid - $331.84, plus TT&L. (with Nicklel coating $18.99 more)
Complete package (with Nickel coating) $545.51, plus TT&L

As noted, these prices may vary slightly on items other than rotors, but I feel that for the product we are looking at, these are great prices. So let me know who's in on the rotors and I'll work with Jonesi on how we need to do this so we are not stepping on any toes.

I'm getting the fronts regardless of the deal, but need everyone to confirm by 4/24 so I can get my order in and at least take advantage of the free speed bleeders.

. . . . and if you really want one of the other types of rotors, cross drilled or diamond slotted the price is the same.

Note: If we can get a group buy on this . . . there's no rush . . . as long as we can get them in time and installed by the big regional meet in October.

ya know, I'm all for planning but I think as a group, we are not that organized...at least not yet... :tomato:


:werd: I think we do well!

Not bashing the idea Sithgirl, I think it is a very good idea as a matter of fact, but like ricky said, we like driving with two wheels off the cliff :rofl:

Not sure what you are looking for, but here are some low cost ultra light weight wheels I'd get for my TLS if I could get out of my Konigs . . .

SPORT COMPACT-NEUTRON
or
SPORT COMPACT-PIRANHA
or
SPORT COMPACT-STORM

http://www.centerlinewheels.com/whee...hicle&data=30#

Of course yours might look tight in the black pearl finish :nod:

So close!! I have been eyeing the Centerline RPM's in the Hi Polish finish (like my OEM GSR wheels have).

It's odd, a lot of "lightweight wheels" are so damn ugly in my opinion, but I guess people don't care about the combination of a good look and weight reduction.

Different strokes for different folks. :D

Sigh :werd: . . . but these are the best so far at a nice price . . .

Bucks no object I'd get SSR1 or 3s . . .but way too pricey for me . . . :(

:werd: I love the SSR GT1 and 3's, but holy $$$

There is a SSM TLS in the Toronto Meet that had the GT1's :yum:

Actually, the RPM's would probably look great on a TLS too, and no where near the price of the SSR's.
