Default Update on brakes



Problem solved! Got the caliper changed out and the whole system bled. Everything works the way it should and this baby will stop on a dime. I have to say thanks to those of you who suggested I get in touch with tracdogg...Mike is a great guy and has anything you need on his website: www.classiccorvetteparts.vstore.ca . He had a Delco caliper and pads along with a lot of knowledge for me. Now I can get on the LBJ freeway with confidence!!

Mike is the man. He can also rebuild your posi. Also, when you call them you talk to Mike or his wife. Not some customer service rep.

Hi Cody,
