HarleyPat Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks guys...chest pain yesterday and after two doses of Nitro I decided I better get checked. Admitted to West Valley yesterday morning through the ER. Good news no heart attack. I best it to the hospital! Had an angiogram this morning and there was a blockage in front of one of my previous stents . A new stent was put in. All I all I'll be back in the Vette in no time. By the way, it's at The dealer. Needed new breaks so I had him dump the old rotors and fit it with drilled and slotted...can't wait to try them out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyPat Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 So here's the update....no slotted rotors...wouldn't fit with stock calipers. Next time I'll do a full set of brakes, rotors, calipers, lines and pads. on the health side...Drs will be in this morning ...kidneys didn't react well to contrast dye...but I kind of knew that would happen. Still having minor chest pain but they say that's normal with where they put the stent and it will pass....hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still having minor chest pain but they say that's normal with where they put the stent and it will pass....hope so! Good to hear the positive health update. Assuming the Dr has no additional concerns, you'll be reading this post at home. About the car and I hope this doesn't get your blood pressure up. Your dealer is either a dumbass, a liar, or trying to make money with less effort. The calipers for the JL9 brakes are the same as the J55 brakes, except for the size of the piston in the J55 rear caliper. (it's smaller by 1/8") Hundreds of Vettes are running around with rear calipers that don't exactly match the OEM rear rotor diameter and most of those with larger pistons matched to larger rotors. In addition to that little nearly insignificant detail, some GM dealers used to stock drilled/slotted JL9 size rotors as a performance upgrade. If you really wanted the OEM correct caliper for the J55 brakes, I'd be willing to swap mine for your JL9 rears and do the labor too. The only thing that really needs to be changed to put larger or smaller rotors on cars that were OEM opposites, are the brackets that mount the calipers. Now if you just want drilled JL9 rotors, I have PMC drill templates to DIY using the same pattern as the OEM J55 rotors. 99 out of 100 Corvette people can't tell the difference without side by side comparisons. BTW, tell your doc you want to do the cardiac rehab regimen. It's a good deal and has some nice eye candy while you workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Glad to hear things are looking good with your ticker. On the rotors, I don't remember the sizes now, but I had slotted rotors with stock calipers on my previous C6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to make some upgrades to this 2010 and want to start with the brakes. Oh well...it will get done. On on the health front, you may see me at the next event wearing a defibrillator vest...do not, I repeat, do not sneak up behind me and hit the switch...are you listening BadBob? Hopefully my heart's efficiency will increase over the next few months and I won't need it any longer, but for now... see you you all down the road! ?
