I wen't to Auto Zone today to see what parts they have for the 79 Z28 front end for my 48 and they said they have everything and gave me a long list to take home and look over to tell them what I want and they have the brakes and all that I need. Thing I need to know is if the OEM one piston caliper will stop my car good enough because the 48 is a pretty darn heavy car and I think (not positive one this) that the 79 Z28's are lighter than my car so doesn't need as much stopping power. Any info on this? I was also going to order all my bushing, tie rods, upper and lower ball joints, upper inner control arm bushings, strut rod bushings, stabalizer links, idler arm, inner shafts, etc and whatever they have. I am not sure if they carry ALL of this stuff but I am going to try and see if they do, if not I will probably just order from P-S-T.com and they their super front end kit for 460 bucks but I am hoping Auto Zone will have all that and it will be cheaper.
For the loaded pair of calipers (both sides) it's 90 bucks and like I said one piston calipers.
What do you guy's think on this? I would go with all high performance parts if I had the money but I am on a budget and thought that I might as well cut as many corners as I can but still have the parts be safe enough to not fail on me or anything of that sort. I can always upgrade later after it is on the road and finished (these things are never finished).
Thanks for any info.
