C5 pads, not F body.
Yay more expensive brake pads.
12" rotors from F body.
Hey guys any idea what this is?

a guide pin with the rubber pin pried slightly off.
So im doing a break job and replacing rotors and pads, and when I go to put everything back together the drivers side front caliper bolt one out of two has this sleeve looking thing on it. Any idea what it is, non of the other ones had it.Quote:

Looking to replace my pads and rotors. I have the F- body swap! Any suggestions what I should get? Id like to get drilled rotors. Not laced ones.
Also. A good site that any of u know of to buy said rotors and pads!
You could buy street perf pads from centric and premium rotors from centric via Rock auto.
or Hawk HPS pads/EBC Red pads, or try racing brake rotors, Pricey but they're curved veins.
