The front rotor on a C5 is 1.25" thick. The thickest rotor that Baer offers is 1.25" thick. Even their $4,700 six piston C5 upgrade system uses 1.25" thick rotors

The thickest rotor that Stoptech offers for the Fbody is 1.25" thick.

Movit offers a rotor that is 2 mm thicker than the C5 in their $2,600 system. Go for it. I don't believe that a 2 mm thicker rotor is the main advantage of the Movit system. But why would you stop at a $2,600 system? For $20,000 you can get a full carbon rotor/carbon pad setup that will far out-perform the Movit system. Ask the Chevy C5R team.

Thousands of people track their C5's (and other cars with C5 brakes) without problem. Any driver who has tracked a C5, with good pads, will tell you that it is by far the best braking system that has ever come on any Corvette they have driven.

After reading your other posts (or on your behalf)http://mtfba.org/nashvillespeed/Brak...s/brakekit.htm I understand your response, and affection for the C5 calipers. Most of your potential customers will never reach the limits of the C5 caliper, so further debate is not worthwhile. Since you are a racer, you know the limits of your own set up-I don't.

Actually the Baer & Stoptech kit for LS1 F bodies is 1.26inches (32 MM) for rotor thickness. So I stand corrected. Thank you.

The Movit is available with 32 or 34 mm.

But I was also referring to my Z06, not my/your camaro. I run the Baer Track system (PBR) on my 3rd gen. No complaints.

It may be the best ever on a Corvette, and I am sure that there are thousands of people running Vettes on the track without problems with the "stock" calipers and aftermarket pads--but that is not me. But most Vette guys on the track are too worried about wrecking to explore the limits of the car.

But there is a different group of Vette owners that want more, including many of the guys I run with. More meaing running on the ragged edge for eight 30 minute sessions at TWS, Road America, Mid Ohio, Brainerd, MAM, BH Farms, Gingerman, etc. without worrying about brake fade and hitting the same mark all day. I do about 30 track days a year in addition to the track I rent for endless lapping (MAM). Most serious guys run Alcon, AP racing, or Wilwood 6 piston fronts. Some use the front caliper for the rear. Must be a reason.

I am sure that my opinion will not have any effect on sales of your brackets, and I'll go back to the forced induction section.
