Default Brembo Big Brake Kit

Brembo Big Brake Kit



We just pulled this brake kit from a 15k mile 03 Z06. These are extremely low mile! Only 1800 miles. These were purchased from LG and they have the receipts from when they were purchased. The pads look near new and the rotors show no signs of much use at all.

This will not fit your stock rims you will need new rims to clear this kit.

LG has these on there site located here:http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product...oducts_id=1863

They are Brembo Gran Turismo 4 and 6 Piston Kit
- Front : 6 Piston Calipers with 355mm 2-Piece Drilled Rotors
- Rear : 4 Piston Calipers with 345mm 2-Piece Drilled Rotors
-
Color : Red

New These are: $6890 plus shipping

$4900 Shipped
Order Here: Brembo Brake Kit


Save $ versus new. The paper stickers are still on the back of all 4 calipers. Includes pads, lines and all mounting hardware.

I have C6 Z06 brakes on my C5. This Brembo setup is much larger and will not fade as fast during track use. Im sure there stopping capabilities are far superior to the C6 Z setup.

When I first got mine installed, I had 'crotch rocket' guys coming over to the car and drooling. They certainly fill the void of the stockers on my 19/20 setup.

So how big of a wheel setup would you need to go with in order to run these?

I have the 'Skunk Werkes' package from Caravaggio, which the 'front canards' are a part of.

Thanks!
When you run 19/20's and stock brakes, they look like honda stoppers. So just the fact that the wheel/tire/brake package looks much better, they stop better too. Too be honest, I bought them for 'looks', I don't track the car, but nice to have just incase.
