Default New C5 Haw/SSBC Talon Full Brake Upgrade/3 Piston Billet Calipers

Selling a brand new full brake upgrade for the C5. These are stock front size rotors and upgraded 14" two-piece rears with Hawk's Talon (SSBC) 3 piston caliper. A killer upgrade for those running stock wheel sizes and looking for some serious stopping power. This full kit new was $4,500. $1,500 plus shipping.

Hawk Talon caliper/rotor/pad system
HCKS3000 MSRP $1,750
HCKS3001 MSRP $2,750

From Hawk's Website:
Each Hawk Performance Brake Systems come with a pair of talon calipers, the three durable stainless steel pistons are housed in billet-aluminum and are the key to upgrading your brakes while retaining the stock mounting points and avoiding clearance issues. Up to 55 percent more clamping force than stock depending on application. They are easy to install with no drilling, welding or fabrication required. The machined billet aluminum caliper body is anodized for durability and powder coated for enhanced appearance. Included in the kit is a pair of quiet slot rotors which let you take full advantage of the brake pads and talon calipers. The unique slot design improves braking performance and increases initial bite. The OEM sizes have no clearance or fitment issues. A special steel alloy provides exceptional rotor life and virtually eliminates noise. All rotors are finished with a GEOMET coating for protection against corrosion on both internal and external surfaces. HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are included in each kit, they are world renowned for increasing stopping power. The unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology. The high performance street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and provide more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you'll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
