    Brake Up Grade

    Will I thought I would start a new thread. Here is a picture of both front and rear brake upgrades. The cost was right at $818.90 but remember that is for the front and rear.

    Starting with the Zack front brake items,
    Brackets by Jerry $155.00
    Lines by Todd TCE $166.00 front and rear
    Calipers from Rock Auto $210.00
    Pads local parts house $93.00
    Rotors E-bay Brake Motive front and rear $129.59 front and $65.31 rear.

    Is that how your calipers came? Or did you have to grind off the corvette logo?

    I got one that said Corvette and one that did not. I had to grind off and clean it up. I got mine from Rock Auto so do not think they will come blank. I called and talk to them it is how they pull them off the shelf. Even when I ordered the ones with out corvette on them.

    Interesting. Must be luck of the draw because both of mine came blank.

    Front Brakes done

    All I can say is "WOW". Great up grade. Zack,Jerry and Todd great job. Every part fit like advertised. No trouble installing it. Stops so much better and a very firm pedal.

    Now to drink some beer. And no I am not driving.

    Like night and day. Have not had a change to stand on them yet. To much rain but have drove it some and it stops so much better. No soft pedal.

    Much of the soft pedal went away when you installed the SS lines. Upgrade #1
