Sorry about the Giant pics .... not Sure how I did that ???
OK .... I also found PTFB SL4-13 Kit for my car ( 13" Rotors with the SL4 4 piston Calipers), is Anybody Using it ? I found a Bunch of old Threads about Dave's Kits & Like what I have Heard from him ...just not much Lately .

Thanks for All the Help ! I went with PTFB SL4 -13 Kit with Slotted Rotors after Talking with Dave . Called TBM 2X but never heard back from them .
I will also be adding the PTFB Pro G braces also . Thanks Dave !
Also Upgraded to the '79-'81 Camaro Spindles with the Bigger Bearings after Talking to Dave about the benefits of the bigger bearings .
