Looking for a well designed and built brake kit to outperform any other brake kits out there?
https://racingbrake.com/C8-IRP-01
RB's 6/4 pot with 380/390mm BBK is made for track/racing duty as well as to improve the look behind the wheel for your street driving.
Upon request the brake pads option is now added so you can deduct the street pad comes with the kit or upgrade to track pads.
  • Fits under OE wheels.
  • Rotors are sized to comply with GM's mid-engine design; rear rotors are larger than the front.
  • Larger rotors and pads provide you extra thermal capacity for added braking power and durability.
  • Standard FMSI pads allow you to source the brake pads easily at lower cost from different aftermarket brands.
  • One upgrade package, one installation - Save you cost in downtime and replacement vs. upgrade pad, rotor, cooling duct etc.etc.
  • Can seamlessly upgrade to CCB system by simply swapping the rotors and pads, a sensible progressive upgrade that RB is well known in the brake industry.
  • Retain OE parking brakes - The first rear BBK for GM's ePB exclusively available only from RB, same as our rear drum brake made for Corvette/Camero/CTS-V.
In stock - Ready to ship.

Received PMs asking how our kit compare to other kit advertised in the forum, so more info were added (under Description), which is being quoted here:

Compared to Essex kit for Corvette C8:
Front competition kit (372x34mm) $4,399 - No pads
Rear stcok size kit (355x32mm) $4,199 - Eliminate parking brake

Essex Kit: $8,598 pads are extra, must delete rear parking brake to install the rear (~stock 350mm) kit.
RB Kit: $6,660 (sales price ends July 4, 2021). Larger rotors: 384x34 /390x28, includes street pads, retains parking brake.

Don't just compare the pricing. Put our kit to track tests. If RB kit doesn't outperform & outlast Essex kit just contact us for a full refund.
