Default Sam Strano Brake Kit?

Hello Everyone,

I have been looking into buy Strano brake kits. Most probably brake kit 4 or 5, But I have noticed they don't come with calipers. Is that something I need to buy seperately or is it not worth replacing the stock calipers. Also I believe I can still have my 17" wheels but not sure. Just wondering if anyone knows anything on this subject or has bought the kit.

Thanks Joe

Calipers aren't worth buying unless you track you car often (road courses) or want the bling factor.

Package 5 is only if you have Corvette calipers on your car. I presume you're on the stock calipers (corvette calipers clearly say corvette in the casting). So if you have ASR/TCS (traction control) you would want package 4, if you do not have traction control you would get package 3. They are solid packages and yes work with 17" wheels
