Does anyone have a contact for timo22?? Trying to contact him about his blazer conversion kits. Thanks

https://gbodyforum.com/ That's how I got ahold of him. Just look up his username. Very easy to deal with and replied quickly.

I have the blazer kit Timo22 sells. I bought it last year from him but haven't used it, actually haven't even opened the box yet. If you can't get hold of him, I'll sell you my kit for a good price. Send me a PM if interested.
The set includes the following parts:
2 Spindles w/ 6 hub bearing bolts
2 Dust Shields
2 Caliper Brackets w/ 2 bolts for spindles and 2 bolts for calipers
2 Brake Hose Brackets w/ bolts and clips

You will need to buy hub bearings, rotors, calipers, pads, and maybe brake lines. I have all of the part numbers.

One word of advice. (from my own personal experience with this upgrade)...don't install the blazer brake line brackets...your wheels will hit these at full steering lock. Instead, just use your stock brake line brackets . No interference with the wheels .

So far I haven’t found a step by step post on installing these. Not really sure I need one just wanna make sure of a couple things. This is a direct bolt in from stock GN brake set up? Still use the same lines and power master? Then you can change out power master down the road??

Yup, direct bolt in. You will of course require a front end alignment after installing the new spindles and brake set up though.

There's a write up for it. I've done this mod and it's pretty straightforward. As stated above, use the stock brake line brackets. It's a very cost effective upgrade, especially if you were due for brakes like I was.

Did you guys re-use the old ball joints?

 

[1KWIKSIX]

Yes, I did....but have taller upper BJ’s in UMi tubular control arms and new BJ’s installed last season in my UMi tubular lower control RMA

This is a great cheap mod that you can definitely feel the difference.

Absolutely love mine! An amazing increase in braking. Change over wasn’t too difficult.
However also changed over to HydroBoost at the same time, so can’t give all the credit in the improvements to the dual piston Blazer brake set up!

Love mine. 50% better braking. For real.

Love my blazer front brake upgrade with stoptech rotors and pads. All turbo Buicks should have come with brake upgrade from Factory. Before and After....

“Caution” A word of advice.....I had to remove the Blazer (straight) brake line supports & reinstall the factory G Body’s cause my tire hit the bracket at full steering lock.
I strongly suggest you double check your tire to bracket clearance before venturing out for a road test!

No issues with skinnies, perhaps with GNX style wheels and tires, plus braided line rubbing significantly on suspension with stock bracket full steering lock.
