Default Update on Repco brake pads

If the name Repco doesn't impress you, it should...They're the biggest brake manufacturer in the Southern hemisphere, and successfully sponsored world champion Formula One teams in the 60's - 70's...

They only sell directly to manufacturers now; and if you've never seen the name, look at your brake master cylinder...

Corvette OEM brakes are Repco (specifically the 1986 C4), and provide excellent stopping, fade resistance, and most of all...*Little Dust*!!!...

I just installed a set on my '86, because no company makes Ceramic pads for '86's yet. (Including GM/AC Delco).

If, like me, you're tired of washing brake dust off your expensive aluminum wheels, give 18carfan a call...
