Default Pics...finished up my C5 brakes

Just in case you guys don't visit over on the brake forum, I'll post some pics here. I think this mod is definetly a nice appearance upgrade. The spindles are powder coated, red Z06 calipers, painted centers on the c5 rotors, and all new hardware. One of the mods for the winter completed.

That looks really nice!!
How hard was it to install those things? and is there really a significant difference in performance?

if you dont mind, how much did you spend?? did you order directly from dealer or gmpartsdirect?? nice setup. i had the stuff to do the ta rear brake conversion on my 99s10 but i sold the truck. when i fix my car it will get vette brakes if i can find them from a wrecked vette.

They look very nice, but don't expect any improvement in braking.

nice job, everything looks nice and clean. but why didnt you go with some drilled/slotted rotors while you were at it? thats the only thing i can think of to change, otherwise it looks perfect

I hope to see something. Larger rotors, better pads, and better fluid should be an improvement over those stock brakes.

Basically cost$$$$, I also have to stick a clutch and a rebuilt tranny in this thing this winter. I spent the money on a Exedy clutch instead of the Bear Rotors. Will add them later though. I agree 100%, they look much better than the stock corvette rotors.
