Shifty Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Here is my C5 brake swap...Hawk ceramic padsRaybestos drilled/slotted rotors, electroless nickel platedSS braided brake hosesC5 calipersRacing (dot 4) brake fluidTeh swap actually works better on my 87 Z28, but that's probably because it was so under-braked to start with...

The CORVETTE is missing, not that the letters make them work any better. Just curiousThey are Raybestos calipers....they are brand new, but from what teh Raybestos rep told me, there are copyright protections on using tey Corvette name/logo, so they mill them off....When I did teh conversion on my Z28, I got teh last logo'd calipers before Raybestos changed that policy.

MOTV8 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Awesome! Lookin' good and a great mod. I like that the caliper mount and the caliper are different colors. Makes 'em "pop" IMHO, like on Scratch's....er, JStrutt's 'vette. I'm thinking of re-doing my mounts in silver, maybe make the black "pop" a little more.
