#28501, "Checker Auto Parts Loaded GSX calipers"




          

i read a while back about a member buying there, so i searched and i found them, about 50 a piece rebuilt. now it doesnt list exactly what it comes with, caliper and bracket or what? if u are that memeber or any one whos purchased them from them here my Qstion: if i buy these will the only thing left to buy be some rotors,and maybe pads?

they *should* come with the brackets, call the people and ask to be sure. UNless my brain has gone to happy hour already, those pics show the brackets attached.

FYI, a loaded caliper comes with the pads already, hence the term "loaded".

IF you have not already, read http://www.2gnt.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=31

it will tell you all you need. Read the stickies at the top of the page as well.

You might consider getting some SS lines but they are not necessary. when i did the swap 2+ years ago on my old RS i got them and never had a problem.

the shims will come with the pads/calipers. The brackets should be included as well. Then all you need is rotors and potentially the ss lines.

As far as rotors, you have many options so shop around. I personally got slotted brembos from Raceconcepts.net when i did my conversion. They had a 2gnt discount then, i dont know if it still applies--contact them to check.

Whatever rotors you end up ordering make sure you order the rotors for the AWD model. Oh and dont waste your money on that cross-drilled and slotted bullshit. Just get the slotted or plain rotors.

SS lines can be found all over the net, search around and im sure you'll find a good deal. I dont even know if howell carries them, i personally do not give howell any of my money. Again i got mine from Raceconcept.net but i know thats not the only place that would have them.

enjoy the DPC's. My stockers definitely started sucking when i put onthe 17's i had but the DPCs were suweet.

*edit* you're going to need brake fluid as well. Im sure you knew that but just in case...

EXECELLENT! well brembo blanks are only like 30 apiece, but i would like something fancier, slotted would be nice if the were max 60 a piece, but ill look into it. now that howell is in kind of a bad standing with us, since the ECU theft issue and such, i dk wer ill get my AF/X UDP, i cant find any other place that sells them. i wanted to get everything from one place so that i would combine shipping. if any one in browses in here and knows where feel free to post it or pm me, thanks again everyone for being so helpful.

P.S. hope u guys like my new sig pic, just had to brag ^^

EDIT: u mention to make sure to get AWD rotors, when ever im browsing for rotors ill just put they are for a GSX, will that be the same thing? cuz im just going to buy new drums for the back after i get the GSX fronts.
