Default Got Brakes !?

Please allow us to introduce ourselves! :party:

As featured in the November 2002 Vette Magazine - "State of the Art C3 Power Brakes"

We are Hydratech Braking Systems located in the MotorCity, MI. We produce a variety of potent hydraulic brake assist conversions for many different platforms, but of course the C3 Vettes are our absolute favorites and also our best customers! Our one year anniversary is coming fast and we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to all of our fabulous customers who have helped us to grow during these difficult times, many of which are right here in the Corvette Forum!

Some new products that we are ready to debut are the long awaited C2 and C4 assist systems! Once our icy winter (Brrr!) gives way to some nicer weather, we will produce some C2 and C4 braking videos for you.

We welcome any questions or suggestions you may have and will do our absolute best to answer them for you! Please feel free to speak freely with us - we are "real people and major gearheads" too! It is our absolute pleasure to have (finally!) signed up as supporting vendors and look forward to dialogue with our fellow enthusiasts!

Thank you for all of your support!

Paul and crew -

Hydratech Braking Systems

Default Quick refresher...

Here's a quick "refresher" on the subject :cool:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=394657

Chad pulled the steering column because he was comfortable with doing the procedure, however we feel that yanking the driver's seat was ample...

The cops are pretty sad here, imagine a bunch of modern day robin hoods hiding behind trees waiting to nail you with their speed camera. We have the highest density of speed traps from anywhere in the world, there evenwas a british car journalist - Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear - that did a large article on them and found it pretty sad. there's also a sort of vigilanty group that has a sole mission and it's to destroy the camera's with any means possible (slamming into them
with a large truck rendering them inoperative ;) )
There's even a site on them, http://www.tuftufclub.nl you won't be able to read but the images are hilarious. http://www.tuftufclub.com/fotos/sloo...slooppaal.html

The roads are pretty good, nice roads, higher speed limits than in the US, still too low, but I live very close to Germany. Now those autobahns, they are just public speedways :)
