Billet Aluminum Bearing Support - Replaces the weak/terribly designed plastic piece inside the slave cylinder that the release bearing attaches to.
From the beginning of the LS based platforms, GM's vehicles have been plagued with hydraulic issues. The slave cylinders in the early year vehicles are cheap and often times must be replaced to keep from having to constantly deal with the failing internals that are used. Under extreme abuse, the bearing support inside the stock slave cylinder begins to deform and melt/disintegrate. When this occurs you will have a complete slave cylinder failure, and often times that leads to a clutch failure since it dumps fluid on the frictions when the heat gets to the point it destroys the seal internally. The billet bearing support alleviates this issue by replacing the very subpar plastic piece with a billet aluminum piece that is far more robust in every aspect.
They addressed the same issue in the newer slave cylinders and have now applied that same type of solution to the older GM slave cylinders. Albeit, the older units required us to get creative since we didn't want to have to recreate the wheel to the point that it drove the cost through the roof and we wanted to make installation simple. The solution we've created allows the use of the stock slave base, the spring, and the outer plastic shield to keep the unit functioning 100% as it did from the factory, with the exception of the very beefy and much-needed billet bearing support inside. With the addition of our billet bearing support you no longer have to look to purchasing over-priced aftermarket slave cylinders to have confidence in your swapped or older style LS-based hydraulic setup.

I've tried 3 different diff mounts. The Lux Mount by SacCity, AMT Double Barrel, and just for the **** of it the Duralast c5 mount. Finally bought this 954 Bullet from FI Performance. In a nutshell the 954 had the least NVH of them all and best of all zero wheel hop even with crappy tires. Thanks Mr. Brian for your vast knowledge on this subject.

I purchased this kit and the install was fairly straightforward, the quality of the kit is amazing!!! Made a very noticeable difference in tightening up the entire suspension, and I did not notice an increase in NVH.

I can't say enough about silvers and brian. I recently got into an accident that broke one of my coilovers. Brian immediately reached out to his people and got me a single coilover. You can't go wrong with silvers or brian.

These are by far a major upgrade over stock the oem rubber mounts couldn't take the abuse and shredded leaking luid all over the engine bay and leaving my engine flopping the amt mounts are a mix of metal on the outside and inside and a hard rubber "bushing" in the middle giving you the best of both worlds and making it durable and everything tighter very easy to install and torque down looks better and definitely feels better very minimal increase in noise and vibration but not enough to really notice or effect everyday driving a must have for higher horsepower applications or if you just beat the **** out of it.

This is a high quality 3D printed guage mount that is installed and replaces the driver's left side heat vent to mount your gauge to and it will still blow air through it without any issues as it's vented on the top and bottom it installs very easy and fast and will fit multiple different gauges and is very sturdy and strong if you have a AEM guage this is not the correct mount they make a specific mount for the AEM gauges.

This bracket is for the c6 corvettes with the Z51 package only not the Z06 they have different coolers and therefore different brackets with that being said this bracket works fantastic definitely when using it with the A&A supercharger kit and don't want to delete your oil cooler like me and so this allows you to move your cooler to a different location and out of the way and still be able to use it with the supercharger.

I upgraded to the four piston Wilwood calipers on the front and rear of my C5 Z06 and boy what a huge difference!!! Not only did they change the way that the car brakes, they look so much better than stock. Couldn't ask for better customer service than Brian!!! One word of advice though....make sure that your offset will clear these calipers!!!
