Default Brakes

Need my firsr set of Brakes for my 2001 coupe, any thing I should be aware of?
Should I take to dealer or specialty shop?
My Vette's a daily driver and I just want to return performance to original.

Any good shop can do it. Check the rotors for warping. Use OEM or GM Ceramic pads. If you're going to replace the rotors use DBA or Baer Eradispeeds. You'll be happy. :yesnod:

stay with all stock components, even the rotors. Rotors are availible for 55 ea shipped. Not hard to do a brake job. 1.5 hrs for a slow tech.
