shoulda just did the C5 upgrade with good pads and made vents. then spent the extra grand on heads and cam so you could use the brakes


of coarse you wouldn't have the pretty slots and useless slots though

Well I didn't so oh well. I guess i just like to put the best parts on my car I can afford. Who says I can't do heads and cam too? It's only money eh? Why else do I go to work everyday?

The install was pretty easy. Just time consuming when you do it by yourself. The back brakes required the axles to be pulled to install the Baer backing plates so plan on getting some gear oil while your at it. The kit came with braided brake lines too. Make sure you get a 12mm line wrench or else you'll round off the brake line nuts.

I agree, the C5 upgrade is the most cost effective. Even me (who has spent megabucks on his car) has them. But I am glad J96Z like his new brakes, useless holes/slots non-withstanding.
