The caliper’s narrow design compared to other manufacturers means wheel clearance is rarely a problem and is a favourite when O.E wheels are a must.
TAROX offer a variety of calipers to suit various applications and customer requirements. In order to choose the most appropriate specification calipers for each brake conversion kit TAROX adhere to the following guidelines

Piston Number

In principle the more the better, the benefit in having multi pistons can be summed up as follows:

Perpendicularly distributed pressure on the pads, resulting in more even wear of the brake pad

Smaller pistons compared to those used on traditional calipers work perfectly parallel to the piston chambers, thus avoiding wear and loss of brake fluid

Increased cooling action of the pads, due to more airflow behind the pad’s back plate

Less stress factor on the caliper itself

More clamping action resulting in more braking power due to the presence of more pistons

Firmer pedal

Im still interested in seeing if anyone here has tested the c5 setup. What is surprising to me is that it uses a larger diameter, but thinner rotor than stock...

There are a lot of audi folks using these brakes but Ive never heard of a corvette running them...

1st - Bigger piston in the middle. This will lead to pad taper under heavy use.
2nd - Thinner rotor = les thermal mass = more brake fade, warped rotors, cracked rotors etc.

Note, It's only 7mm bigger diameter than a C5 rotor and only 5mm bigger than a Z51 C6 rotor.
