Brake and Suspension Project, Ongoing, moving forward

[Sacorey]

So I have been working on my 2004 Imp aka the Sh1tb0x or moving forward: SkImpala

 

Budget is about $200 a week for parts, I do all my labor with a jack and stands.

 

So far I have Installed:

 

-Solid front Swaybar 35mm doorman product

-Vented front Rotors

-KYB Strut plus front 4002 (wish i coulda had bilstein or even the adjustables, but 75 a peice was irresistible)

 

I want to Install

 

-17 or 18" wheels, steel with centercaps or aluminum WRC rally style wheels

-Larger Rotors 12"+

-Dual piston or 4 Piston Caliper (possibly F body Conversion, or looking at Bonneville fronts)

-Steel braided brake hoses

-Steel Brake Lines (would love to find someone that bends and flares seamless stainless tubing with fittings to factory contour instead of bending some up myself.)

-Strut Tower Connector front and rear

-Solid Trailing Arms in rear

-Solid Rear Swaybar and Links

-Rear coil over struts (going with the KYB 4003 4004)

 

I am Also Interested In

 

-Possibly going with a larger Brake booster/master cylinder to move a larger amount of DOT3/4

 

 

Looking for some expert advice setting up a plan for the braking and suspension, I REALLY want to be able to slam the brakes and stop ASAFP PDQ

 

Additionally, No ABS on this Imp for some reason.

Been stalking the forums for about the past 7 years in college and highschool, havent found much on the impala or upgrades for my w body, also not a lot of info floating around outside of re tapping the threads for the f body caliper swap. Wondering how it compares to the Bonneville dual piston calipers. Additionally, I suppose Acquiring a master cylinder and booster would be the first thing to get

 

not much in the FAQ relates to this car or project, thanks though
