So heres the latest. The frame is still at the shop. I was basically told i'm a second tier customer straight up. Most guys would get pissed but i'm ok with honesty, even if its not what I want to hear, I can appreciate it. I get it, they make their money on insurance claims, not GTO frames, so whatever.

Anyhow I decided on a brake kit. I'm went with TRSD 13" Signature series fronts. After seeing this kit im about 99% sure i'm going to go 12" rears too. These brakes aren't as expensive as you might think either. I got them damn near $100 bucks cheaper than Jegs or Summit offer, just by doing a little searching and comparing between vendors. They consist of 2002 Shelby Mustang 45mm twin piston calipers, 13" D&S zinc washed corvette C4 28mm thick rotors, CNC machined hubs that re drilled for 7/16 and 1/2" wheel studs, braided lines and all other hardware. They are VERY nice and the 13" brakes are HUGE compared to the 11" stuff that I have on there right now. Ill be pulling those parts for a 70' Chevelle I have on the back burner. I might be ordering the rear 12" kit as well but frame clearance issues need to be verified since my rear was ordered 3/4" narrow on both sides.

Anyhow here's a bunch of 13" brake kit pics.....
