Gotma pair from the big O.. So the plan is this weekend but I'm painting them first. They were 54 but 10 core for each so total of $34.

I have no where near as much knowledgable input as the rest of these good men, but my '87 v20 has an 8" lift and the ride is miserable! My 9 month old loves it cause she just bounces. I use it primarily as a beach truck, and I've hopped people out of their seats at 10-15 mph. I can't complain though, I got it for $500

No complaints here either,  8 got mine for free and I personally made it ride rougher.

 Got the new/reman calipers ready to go on. I'm also going to try adding a smidge of toe to help with the steering/ slight wondering. I have some alimnium plates and aluminum angle iron t9 make my toe plates. Just gotta weld them together.

blue fetish?

Thats what I was wondering.... I don't think it matches the blue his truck is.

What do you mean you are adding toe to help with wandering?

I don't know why they look like that in the pic. It's acutely VHT HEADER paint.

blue fetish?

Not really that worried about matching perfectly.  But fetish...well I may like blue a little.

Ha😛.  I'm at zero toe. I plan on toeing in slightly. Obviously I'm gonna recheck my toe before adjusting anything.

Ok, but what color VHT paint did you use? Let me guess, blue? Lol

Ok so after having these new calipers for over a month I finally got around to installing them. Unfortunately the only change is the blue color of my calipers. Two things to note..


1) I have a bump steer issue as well and guess which direction of travel I go when I'm not correcting it immediately. .. it goes right just like when I brake at any rate over 1/4 pedal travel.im sure I have some geometry that's off.. not that it was ever that good in the first place.

2)I cannot get my tires to lock up for the life of me. Yesterday after I finishes a ridiculous amount of bleeding I went for a test drive to find out it still pulls to the right. I also double footed the brake pedal and used the steering wheen for leverage, couldn't lock up my brakes from  45mph. What gives! Apparently the weight of my stuck to inertia!

Did you resurface the rotors and install new pads at the same time?

Brake hose condition?

New pads will not seat correctly if the glaze is not removed from the rotors and will pull if uneven wear is not removed by surfacing also.

Contaminated brake pads will also grab unevenly.

Rear brakes adjusted properly?

Bleeding procedures furthest from the MC first, then next furthest with a helper or a pressure bleeder.

Bleeding all four brakes for the pro portioning valve to operate properly.

Master cylinder condition also.
