lol i ment s10 forums...sorry my bad

hahahaha its all good man. thanks for the good words also!!!

josh

you're right... that's a terrible idea. not only will you have the smallest rotors paired with the biggest wheels (doesn't look very good at all) you'll be drilling them, which will take away from the surface area of the rotor. the surface area is what the brake pad grabs to stop the truck. you are worried about stopping, so why take away some of the meager ability by drilling it?
i'm running an 11" rotor with Wilwood 4 piston racing calipers on my 20's and i'm going to step it up to a 13 incher as soon as money can allow! i know how heavy my wheels are, i can only imagine how much yours are!
when upgrading to better brakes, definately upgrade the master cyl. too. i ran into that problem. get a bigger diameter one - say out of a corvette

im wondering on what rotors i can run thow? im staying with 6 lug. only upgrades i can find are slotted rotors.

josh

I did some research this week on disk brakes for the 6 lug. This is what i got so far.

2002 chevy 1/2 ton 2wd front rotor
1976 impala front calipar
The 02 rotor and the 76 rotor are pretty close in dia with 1/4

weld on brake braket from speedway motors (big chevy bracket)

Now i havnt got all of this yet but i have used the weld on brakets before for years also you can get the adapter to use -4 an stainless brake lines. Also you should be able to toss the stock proportion valve and put a aftermarket in line so you can control how much goes to the rear.

I would think you want to up the master cyl beacause you are now adding a bigger piston in the rear from the drum setup.

I plan on doing this to my sons truck but i am also going to put a electric shutoff valve in line for the rears so he will have a ebake...if it works like i think it will.

ahhh, i remember the good ol days when tring to lay a 17'' on a maz was hard, now were rolling 22s and bigger? i love it!!! ne one remember the article in minitruckin a few years back about them askng if anyone would like to try laying a maz out on 20's? hell theres people out there now thats figured out how to tcuk 20s on a radio flyer. what the hell wont a minitrucker do?!!

thanks for the info man. im just lost on how to swap the front rotors to the silverado rotors. do i need the hub assembly and everything? or were you just talking about the rear?

josh

That was for the rear. I havnt really looked at the front because with disk in the rear and the right master and nproportion valve it should stop just fine.
