Replacement rotors are very expensive also, but I have had the same rotors on my car for at least 15 track days and they barely look used. Plus I have only worn about 65% of the front pads down in the same time so I think it's well worth it for the track.

We have very competitive pricing on Wilwood brakes, too low to post. Feel free to call or pm. 609-752-0321 and they are in stock ready to ship.

Hi guys,


I've said it time and time again, and you all know we have been using StopTech on the race cars now for some time now. They have proven themselves time and time again both on the track and in customer service. I do not think you will find customer service and support like you will with StopTech and LG Motorsports. We continue to work with them to bring you brand new products such as the new released 15" front brake kit that we have been racing with all of this year.

Now StopTech has one of the most rigid calipers in the buisness today and it will require you to double check your wheel fitment to make sure that everything clear ok. StopTech provides this on their website in their white papers which I will be adding to our own site very soon.

Stick with a proven, winning combination and you can't go wrong.

Feel free to contact myself either PM or phone and I would be more than happy to talk with you over any package or details for your own car.

I'll add that Anthony hooked me up with my Stoptechs and he can take care of you too!

That is the size I have and would like to go to a big brake kit.
I do not think Stoptech will fit.

the brands are great . depends on the model . the thing is how do you plan to run the vette drag circuit etc... because what sometimes makes the difference in stoping is the tires grip to the road. today every car can pretty much stop on a dime if it had nice tires. correct me if im wrong

corvette brakes in my opinion are spectacular (z51 z06). if you have the money then go with the nice big brake kit setup. brembo are my favorite. wilwood and stoptech are top notch as well. bigger brakes do provide more surface ( for cooling and stopping) . remember your brakes are only as good as you tires ( as far as stopping).

I use Wilwoods on my p-car conversion. They work as advertised, but squeeeeeeeeek. 'Course, that's the pad compound.

For street use either product will Way over brake what a street tire can hold so it really is not necessary to over brake the car unless you just like the look of the Stop Tech's better.
We have the Wilwoods in stock and ready to ship if your interested, along with the most competitive pricing around on them, feel free to call or PM.
How much for Wilwood, front and rear, C6, in red?

Of the two you are interested StopTech no question. I've run the Wilwoods and it's not even close. Yes the Wilwood is cheaper and you get what you pay for. StopTech comes with fully assembled floating rotors and wilwoods are non floating and you have to safety wire them together. It WILL add hours to the install. The StopTech calipers are very stiff and give amazing pedal feel.

While it's true if your brakes are cool it's the tires limitation. But as you get better tires and repeatedly have to stop your car that's when the BBK will shine even more. Plus they look amazing.

PM me for best pricing around on StopTechs. I am an authorized dealer for StopTech. The 14" kit fits most aftermarket wheels and even stock Z06 wheels.



PM me for incredible savings on StopTech BBK
