    97-04 is C5

    Drove my car 700+ miles last week from Chicago to GA on this setup and was great. Much better than stock as I remember it.

    EDIT: SOLD --- I bought the parts and got them installed but used different brake lines, if someone is doing this installation and wants the TCE brake lines, i'll make you a deal.

    Been years since the original parts/links post. Anyone have a update on more modern/better parts/links for the calipers, pads, and rotors? Trying to get a hold of the brackets....

    You're comparing apple to oranges. Of course a 6-piston fixed caliper is going to be better than a 2-piston floating caliper. This post is about a budget friendly big brake upgrade.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    I agree. This is a $$ friendly upgrade of the front brakes. I’ve done this upgrade on both of my Marauders. On silver, I spent about $300 total for the upgrade. I was lucky and won a pair of ZR1 calipers for $51 total.

    This is the best upgrade on any Marauder that doesn’t want to spend 3K for a brake upgrade.

    I may just go ahead and buy the Corvette calipers and GT500 rotors and take it all to a local machine shop to make a bracket to attach it to the MM knuckle...
