I have done this many times and agree with the above. For a stock car nothing like the rebuilt GM SS sleeved calipers. I have an 80 coming Into my garage tomorrow that needs a whole new brake system. Ordered from VB the entire kit.

All C3 Corvettes are 4 wheel disc brakes. Yes there are some upgrades but honestly the stock ones perform just about as good as most of the upgrades unless you go racing. Then it gets expensive. I have Wilwood calipers and drilled and slotted rotors and they stop about the same as the stockers. They look cooler

Just to clear up what Easy Mike said, most rebuilt aftermarket GM calipers have been stainless sleeved? This one came from the ZONE. Curious because I have one on the car from PO, looks brand new but I dont know if it's sleeved and don't really want to pull it apart. Thanks.
