Hi guys !
I have a 92' K1500 Suburban and 4 years ago have installed a A126-4 rear
brakes conversion kit (from drum to disc).
Actually, the rotors are destroyed and I'm looking for new ones.
Unfortunatly, I can't get any information from SSBC ! They never answer to
fax or email regarding my question ! "Where should I buy new repalcement
rotors ?" I think they want me to buy a new and complete kit with calipers
and so on ! Crazy !
So, please, if someone could tell me where or which model I should buy ?
Is this a special rotor manufactured by SSBC or a stock one they only resale
?
It's a 11.3" rotor (11.61 announced by SSBC), 1" thick, 6 lugs x 5.5, and
pads used on it are the same than  HAWK HB112F-540  82/97 Camaro-Firebird ou
88-96 Corvette rear brakes.

Any help would ne greatly appreciate, my 'burb is on stands !

Rgds

that sounds like a front rotor from a '88-98 7200lbs K2500.  go to
autozone or the like and have them pull one off the shelf.  if they
ask it's the one with the 11 5/32 drums.

hth,

Hey Bret - the K2500's have 8 lugs.  His are 6 on 5.5.  I think its a K1500.
Just my 02.  I could be wrong.

Hi George
Do you mean your K1500 with rear disc has 11.61 diam rotors, 1.00" thick ?

Hey Phil - I'm sorry but I don't know the specs on my rear discs.  My
previous response was about the lugs on my K1500 being 6 on 5.5.  I'm pretty
sure that the K2500 is 8 lugs.

I googled my truck and came up with a dimension.  Here's the link:
http://www.4x4review.com/vehicles/chevy/99silverado-dim.asp   My rear discs
seem to be over 12 inches and less than an inch thick.  You might google for
a truck a little older.  My rotors might be that big because the emergency
brake is built into the hat.  Your kit might also use rotors from something
like the nissan or toyota.

Thanks for your help George !
I've tried others truck on the web link you gave me, but nothing more.
Older trucks have drums and new ones have higher diameter rotors...
The only cars to get less than 12" rotors have 5 lugs ! So I have to search
again !

Thanks anyway !

actually, the 8600lbs K2500's are 8 lug.  7200lbs GVWR K2500's have 6
lugs.... I've got one in my driveway.
