Sorry it’s been insanely busy. Barely have time to work on the car. Having trouble getting the front shocks to line up to get my top bolts in currently… spent 2 hours on it yesterday.

I think I am going to paint the calipers, I bought the paint to do it. Mostly have everything I need to keep moving forward…

Yeah, On the shocks keep them loose before tightening them all the way until their lined up, then use the impact and tighten them down. Yeah calipers look better painted.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Right now I can only line up the 2 studs on the one side. When I go to thread the 2 bolts it catches, so must just be on enough of an angle I am worried about cross threading. I don’t want the damn inserts to spin loose because they cross thread and jam on me…

I would think if the studs lined up the bolts should line up too. That’s a pain. Are the mounts left and right specific or can you use them on both sides? I don’t remember.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Got 3 lined up, drilled the hole slightly larger, still couldn’t get the 4th bolt without it cross threading and ripping the nut free. So I drilled the nut out and ran a separate nut and bolt. Pain in the ass…
Finally did a dry fit for the calipers. I’ll need a spacer. I couldn’t find a 15mm, so I am going to order a hub centric 20mm one today.

Nice so if you need a spacer with 18s then 17s probably won’t fit. What’s your back spacing on your front tires? My ZR1s are 56mm.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

I believe 17’s fit with the ats not ctsv calipers. I only need a spacer because the spokes of the rim hit the caliper. It’s funny, some spokes miss hitting it and others hit. I almost got away with no spacer. My backspace on my front rims is 56mm which I think is same as our stock rims

Your 18s should of fit the ATS, I’ll probably leave mine alone for awhile, too many other projects.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Looking good Mike with a good ceramic pad you can lap the car or auto cross with no fade problem.
I have been thinking of doing 6 piston CTSV's on my Camaro when I need new brakes I think yellow would look sharp with the Silver Ice Metallic
