Brakes and Suspension
This rear end was out of a fourth gen 97 Camaro. Purchased from Carvers Camaro and Trans Am parts in New Albany, Indiana. Cleaaned it up and painted with Eastwood extreme chassis black. Replaced the seals, new wheel studs from Dorman. Added the Trick Flow Aluminum cover with bearing supports. Anything that could be sand blasted and powdercoated was taken care of as well.
The caliper's on the 97 rearend had the usual dirt and grime from the road, as well as sitting in a bone yard for who knows how long. Here is a shot of the rear PBR calipers before and after rebuild. The calipers were painted with Eastwoods Red Caliper paint.
The front calipers are made by Baer brakes. Sand blasted these as well and painted back with Eastwood's red caliper paint. The white lettering for the logo was a tedious labor of love. My age showed as I had to use two magnify glasses to see what I was painting. Had to come back to these a few times before they were finished.
The front suspension was upgraded to UMI tubular control arms with poly bushings. KYB struts, Eibach pro line springs. Energy suspension upgrades throughout the entire chassis. Cross drilled and slotted rotors. Jegs subframe connector's. Here are some before and after photo's.
