Thread: Overhaul

when doing a Rack & Pinon/Pump install what are some other general items you want to install while your down there.


So far I'm doing the Following:

Rack & Pinon
Power Steering Pump
Power Steering reservoir
Power steering Filter
new Tie Rod ends
new Sway bar Grommets/bushing
Front driver Wheel hub

Tie Rod


Sway Bar & ABS sensor cord cut

a few days and no suggestions? weak!

also im seeking some Slotted & Drilled Rotors that are coated so they won't get surface rust any suggestions

I put R1 Concepts eline drilled slotted on in May. There is zero rust and issues to date. The car is my DD and I abuse the brakes since they stop it so well.

FWIW I went directly to their website and picked the scorched pads as well. Ended up about the same cost or slightly cheaper than the ebay sellers while letting me pick the pads.

I'm going to repeat what I said in the chat.

get centric premium rotors and good pads like hawks or EBC red.

the centric are soo pricy!

because they're good.

Go look at brembo, baer, stoptech, ebc rotors for some perspective.

12" rotors........ for an LS1 F body.

Why drilled and slotted? They're useless.

Proven not useless...If they are useless...I guess it's pointless to have huge D&S'd rotors or even carbon ceramic ones...on cars that cost more than some houses.

as much as i would KILL for a Full Baer brakes setup i just cant afford those lol.

ok, on these cars it's useless. High performance ones need it because they need as much cooldown as they can get. I guarantee you that there will not be a GP in the next 24 hours of Le Mans. GP's only lose surface area, reducing braking.

anyone got a list of all Cars that have 12' Calipers that are compatible with the 97-03 GTP's?

Like what year F-bodys etc

Could be the rear hubs as well, I believe they have a ABS wire going to them as well.
