Brake upgrade needed, looking for shop

[dpariso]

Im going to upgrade my brakes to a 6 piston front and 4 piston rear. I'm in need of a person/or shop near me (60083) that is 'capable' of installing an upgraded brake kit. Gordon says it would take about 6 hours for someone who knows what they are doing. He is ready to ship the big brake kit to me however before he does I need someone who can do it right. It's not just remove and replace... as it requires set up work with the diff to make sure there is no end play and other things. Can anyone out there recomend a person/shop near my zip 60083?

A good friend of mine is Jim Tipman who is the owner of Sparks Computerized Car Care in Lake Zurich. His number is 847) 540-1260 and his shop is at 491 S. Rand Rd.
Lake Zurich, Il 60047. He is going to do my alignment.

Give him a call to see what he can do for you. Tell him Steve Hewson sent you.

I’m guessing you have a c clip axles then since you mention end play. When you find a shop you may want to look at clip eliminators or have 9” ends welded on your axle to control movement. Plus if you have c clips if a axle lets go the axle and wheel can and will walk out of the car. Not to scare you it’s just a fact of life for c clips. That’s why the NHRA doest like them. Some shops may just want to shim the clips to control movement so be aware of what you may be getting.
