I sourced the rebuilt kit from Dave, and I spoke to him several times. What a cool, knowledgeable guy - I don't know how he makes the time to talk to us car geeks. At his suggestion, I bought the Assembly Fluid for caliper rebuilds. This coats the seals for easy installation - https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/p...ducts_id=15352 |
Cool, thanks. Yeah, Dave knows his shit and I've talked to him tons of times. I think his wife even tracks her Corvette. :-)
My car has dedicated cooling ducts and I run Hawk DTC-60s with SRF. The OEM 2-piece rotors are beefy and have the J-hooks. |
I can't really comment on caliper rebuild however I can say that Dave is awesome! I just ordered replacement rotors and new bridge bolts for my ST40 kit this morning and I already have a tracking number! When I ever decide to rebuild my kit, I'll be ordering from him that's for sure!!
