Update,, is this a MUST do? Not necessarily, but if you want better brakes it's a no brainer,,

If you do every day driving, then there is no need to upgrade except for the parts are cheaper to buy than the 85 brake parts,

I'll hit the track in the next 2 weeks or so, I'm waiting for cool weather to try our the Holley Stealth Ram . Then I'll know more braking from 115+ mph in the 1/4 mile ,,, but so far they are an impressive improvement.

What's your take on the C5 having them on for a few years?

I love them, when you first put them on, it is an amazing difference if you are trying to stop suddenly. Otherwise, they are similar to stock in normal day to day driving.
