thoughts on the new brake setup!? As a reminder, we will be at sick week with this bad girl. if you are planning on coming to any of the tracks to watch, stop by and say hi!
Wow the savings are crazy! Its gonna make a hige difference in the way it drives. Im still working on converting my gmc to 5 lug all around with corvette brakes , and s10 hubs for the front. But im gonna have to look into this setup. Just with a straight rotor for the streets.
28 lbs per side is WILD! I wonder what it would take to adapt them to rear as well? I don't remember when I did my TB's brakes last if there was a vast difference, but I don't remember there being one, either. 56 lbs of unsprung is a huge win, but imagine 112 ;) Either way, I'm super jelly, those look amazing. Very congrats, and happy new year to you!
Would TBSS carbon fiber body panels/doors bolt right on? Expensive yes, but I could only imagine how heavy the OEM doors/trunk/hood are. Could just use the doors for racing, keep them in the trailer and swap them out at the track. Just a couple bolts and the harness plug
They would fit but that is next level in terms of cost lol. i was reading up on them and it would save a considerable amount of weight. between 200-300lbs. but it would cost upwards of 8,000 for all of the carbon panels. for the money i could just build the motor and make enough power to overcome the weight lol

Love the tbm setup. My only concern for your trailblazer is the rust. Will you be addressing this in the future?
@Clayton_Bigsy yes. It looks worse than it is. We have coated it underneath and welded one spot.
Huge upgrade! That's awesome.

That’s a sweet setup
Very nice 👍
Just take out rear seats and all not needed in back. Glad to see progress! Weight savings with better brakes.
If I absolutely have to to get the time I want I will but I would like to do it as a full weight street car

@J-Whit is that 2-300lbs with or without the electronics?
If you're only using them for racing all you'd need is a latch and a lexan window
