Well I'm paying for this server with lots of drive space and bandwidth, I'm hardly using any of it

So I put up a gallery.
http://gallery.corvettengineering.com

Each user has 100meg
It's free, you can hot link to it and even put up videos.

No ****, though...

Enjoy.

Had a email issue I had to register a few of you manually.

Also it's got a couple of weird things you should know...

To add a folder, click the new button, THEN change the name to something like your user name.

to upload images, put the cursor on the home button at the top, a row of links should apear, one of which is upload...

Once uploaded you need to move the images to your folder.
Click the continue button, then select a folder, type in a title and then click OK.

Lastly the filenames in the uploads screen are white text on a white background hard to read I know, I'm trying to fix that...

Cool. What would it take to get 6 piston front and 4 piston rear with a Wilwood Master Cylinder?

You've been busy. Your web site looks alot better this morning then it did last night! Very

the problem with the 6 piston calipers, like the SL6 is that the total piston area is a LOT less than stock.
You'd have to run either a smaller bore MC or Hydroboost and a proportioning valve to the rear in order to get enough clamping pressure to the front calipers, even then it's questionable.

One of my first attempts was with the sl6 and wow, no brakes at all.
I should look again and see if there is a better 6 piston caliper around yet.

I am willing to work with you though on it if thats what you want.
For pricing, look at the Daytona kit, calipers alone are almost $300 each.

Oh, and thanks on the updates, I was up late

I have a hard time finding any real information about them, specs, dimensions etc.

What do you know?

Dimensions, offsets, rotor requirements, pad size, piston diameter etc. are in the Brembo catalog.

I know that I like them...

If you could find a Brembo caliper that mates up nicely to the stock power brake system... along with some monster rotors and CNC machined aluminum hats, I'd be all over it.

What would you suggest for a really good brake system? I'm just looking for something that would take some serious track abuse.....even if it never gets dished out. I am using hydroboost and I would like to use the Wilwood master cylinder just because they clean up the engine bay. 6 piston seems to be the norm now on performance cars, but if it's more for show then performance I'd gladly go for a set of 4 piston calipers that'll do the job. Larger rotors, aluminum hats.....just let me know what you can do.
