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

[JBeezy]

They come blank from rockauto

[Bob Mathis]

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.

[Sully008]

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

:banana::beer::beer: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.

Good job, are those chalk marks i see on the frame? Your coils, shocks arms are very clean. How many miles?

[Bob Mathis]

Thanks,Yes and it has 21,223 miles. It stays in the shop and I am starting to drive it a little more.
Now to due the rear.

[Bob Mathis]

Will I am done with the brakes all away around. Just got the rear's done. Sure am glade I did all the brakes. New drilled and slotted rear with Braided lines. Pedal is hard as a rock now.

How does the braking performance compare to stock?

[Bob Mathis]

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
I can't wait to install my Zack brakes too!

Those are nice looking rotors can you provide a link for the front that cost $129.59 on eBay?
