Re: Tire sensors and other options?

So my tire sensors all show faults, dealer said all police cars do. Oil shows 0% life and I can't change or fix any of it. I think I am pretty sure I figured out that the left steering wheel scroll button when you push it is enter but not 100% sure on how to work things since I can't even try since...

Re: Brakes??? ::(

PPV front brakes are much more robust than G8 GT - 345mm rotor vs 321mm, aggressive Ferodo HP1000 OE pads. True, they are single-piston cast-iron calipers, so not as pretty. Nothing crosses with G8 GT front, that much is for sure. This is the kit you should have purchased if you want to go this rout...

Re: Techna-Fit Braided Stainless brake hoses

Being the OE calipers are all floating design, it may be time to rebuild the slide pin setup, or just do a complete caliper/bracket swap (with remanufactured assemblies). Start by doing a brake fluid flush, if you haven't, and compare color of the fluid in the system and new fluid. Brake fluid likes...

Re: Techna Fit brake hose kit #4500

The kit will fit both caliper configurations - the difference is that the banjo bolt threads are different between OE PPV & SS (Brembo) calipers. New banjo bolts in both thread specs come in the kit. It does not come with front brackets - you can modify yours or harvest from any front Zeta sedan...

On the side skirt question, someone has been bringing them in from somewhere - look on Facebook for Brad Hotz or check with Karo at Holden Parts USA.

Re: PPV splitter - now accepting orders

Hi Tito - just saw this. The splitter and side deflector package is still available. We are not currently offering the mounting hardware, so it means some savings for you. If you could PM me, I'll give you full details.

Re: Chevrolet SS 19x9 rear wheels all around

You don't mention what brakes you have on the car - stock or Brembo? If Brembo, front 4 or 6 piston? As a point of reference, I'm running an 18x9 wheel with +47mm offset. Also running Brembo 4-piston front calipers. On front only, I do use a 2.5mm hub centric spacer because my particular wheel desig...

Re: Bolt Patterns 5X120MM or 5X4-3/4"(120.65) ?

Well...I agree with Wilwood. The Zeta platform, along with Cad CTS (2nd Gen), Alpha Camaro/ATS/CTS, and even FWD Regal, Impala & Malibu use 5 x 120 (4.72") bolt circle - and now C8 Corvette. Zeta is Gen5 Camaro, G8, PPV, and SS sedan - all using same hub register and 14mm wheel studs. The i...
