C6 GrandSport Brakes install

Good question, thought about c-clip eliminators but couldn't figure out how to make them work. The axle float is there, it is very minimal. Talking .020 or less, pad knock back maybe present , but the only thing that it may require is a residual check valve to keep tension/fluid on the pistons or as it was told to me there maybe times that I would have to pump the brakes to get a full force stop. I have yet to drive the car yet, still buttoning things up, but I don't think that it is going to be that drastic as Tobin @ Kore3 would of mentioned this. The kit that he developed, which is essentially what I have with some things that I purchased separately and the use of the factory parking brake, doesn't eliminate the C-clip or anything like that. I guess I will just have to see what I come up with when I test drive it. With a fully adjustable proportioning valve in the new master cylinder, I am sure that I am going to have to tweak it a bit, but once dialed in it should be great.

I think that I saw a Baer kit or something where they add shims to the c clip to eliminate the float, maybe an option as well. I will have to post up my findings when I have them

Ok progress. After making all of the lines in my car I only had one fitting that was being a bastard and leaked a little bit, loosened it and tightened back done, I will have to go out and check it again today. Should be good though, system builds pressure nicely now after getting new master cylinder and pressure bleeding it. The CPP MCPV1 units, like I installed are notorious for being bastards to bleed, but what is cool with the MCPV it comes with a cap that is used for a remote reservior setup, so it has 1/8th inch fittings embossed into it, so I went to my local Lowes and made a pressure bleeder using this. Basically, purchased a 1 gallon garden sprayer, some 1/4 inch clear tubing, a pressure gauge and some fittings. For about 20 bucks I have a pressure bleeder for my set that works unbelievable. Pump it to about 10 psi, you shouldn't need anything over that and go to every bleeder and attach line to a bottle, crack bleed and fluid comes out, as easy as that. So much easier than anything else I have ever used. Plus the great benefit of this besides the cost is the fact the only thing that you have to do is make sure the pressure stay up a little, I think that I only pumped it up once, but I did inject fluid in to the lines and calipers to keep from having to bleed the system all that much more.

Anyway after all the bleeding, great pedal pressure in the air and all that, I will update further once I am able to drive it, that willl be sometime though. I have another large project coming in here shortly that is going to take up quite a bit of time.

I had purchased new parking brake cables from Mike @ hamilton and they are perfect, but when GM replaced the cables with some different number, they discontinued the equalizer (the place where you adjust the parking cable tension.) so I got a hold of Mr. Harper and he had a set, so I got the complete set from him. Guess what the parking brake works PERFECTLY

I will post up some pics here in a bit, I think that I am going to set it on the ground today sometime, just cause I want to see what the new rims are going to look like.
