JF-03-SS Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I was wondering if any of you have priced out brembo systems compared to the vet brake systems and weather brembo is better or not Brembo's are very nice, but very spendy $$$$$$$$$.

detjoe Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 brembo fronts are like $3k the brembo uses three different size pistons the vette uses three same size pistons vette pads are not cheap. I have spent some time on the vette fourm and no one has complained...but if its a track car they always upgrade the pad/rotor...then the get the brembo. I have some pad info, one piece pads....yadayadayda hey supersub :finger:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged06SS Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I was wondering if any of you have priced out brembo systems compared to the vet brake systems and weather brembo is better or not Vette front is $1300 or so with 15" rotors Brembo is around $5K for the Gran Turismo front setup. Baer 6s front setup is around $3K. I think the vette wins, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price of even the baers, you could do front and rear vette brakes and still have a pocket full of green lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 606 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) thanx, would you just go to a chev dealer and get rotors, pads and calipers and start shimming or where would you get them? also i live in canada if that makes a difference. by that i mean where would you get a kit from a corvette?

chpspecial Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Different sized pistons leads to better pedel feel and better pedal response, and stronger clamping and more even response/wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOu get brackets/rotors from one place and calipers/pads you source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
