Default Mov'it Big Brake Kit

Just ran across these Mov'It German brakes. 14.5 "F and 13.4"R. They apparently fit under the stock wheels. You can purchase at Ultimate Garage. I e-mailed 'em for the prices. http://movit.de/

You sir ROCK for finding this.

Makes me quite happy, maybe now I can spend the money alloted for wheels to make stoptechs fit to this badass setup.

Mwahahahaha.

That brake setup looks like, cracked rotor heaven. The cross drilling, too much pad surface, too much heat. Wait, the pads are really small, they just have a lot of big red caliper. Good luck guys.

The holes are cast not drilled. I've had personal experience with cast holes, although not on a vette, and they do not crack. After 50k miles they started having hairline cracks around the holes, but I can deal with that every 50k miles.

Even after track use.

The one vendor in the states doesn't sell them anymore, they wanted too much liability insurance.(?) I contacted a Canada vendor that can order them and will get back with me on a price.

I sent an email also to Movit directly, and got this reply back. I guess they misread that I wanted C6 info.

But given the prices they list, I expect just the front kit to be north of $3500.

Well, if the fronts are over 3.5K the whole system is probably close to 7K. The Wilwoods are looking better.

Thats not an official figure, but based on the C5 prices Movit gave me I would venture to say the C6 price will be in that range, if not higher.

And yeah the Wilwoods are definately looking much better.

It doesn't look like they'll fit, but no one has tried yet.
