Default Brembo Blanks, WTB?

Can someone give me a link to a sponsor site for the brembo blanks. Looking to upgrade the brakes on the car, all that I am finding on the websites are either slotted, drilled, or both.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

TireRack.com and StranoParts.com are two sponsors that I know carry Brembo Blanks.

Correct me if i'm wrong or add to my list.

The only things that I will need to upgrade my front brakes would be the brembo blanks for a 97-04 corvette, new brake pads, 2 brackets to install the new rotors, stainless steel lines, and new delco brake fluid.

If I am missing something just let me know, thanks guys.

Do you think this would be a pretty decent upgrade from the factory brakes?

If doing rotors, you should also change pads probably. That's all you will need. ATE blue brake fluid is a great upgrade if you want to autocross. I would stick with blanks and not the drilled slotted, but tons of people insist they need the drilled ones.

On tirerack, it will show you what rotors you want when you enter in your car info.

Stranoparts might have a better deal. Send him an email and he will give you a quote.

keep in mind Sam is not going to be answering PM's until sometime next week, he's out racing in competition right now...

call stranoparts and speak to them about blanks and matching pads (hawk's I would suggest)

There is more to it than that. The brackets are for the calipers, not the rotors. Do a search on the C5 brake upgrade.

Brembos are still on back order, still waiting for my blanks. This sucks, but Arlyn(sp?) at Strano has been nothing but awesome.
