rsvcorvette,
Thank you for the welcome....yes I know that the C5 brakes are the same except that the calipers are red and they use a better pad..I chose to upgrade to the Movit big brake kit because of the speeds I drive on the autobahn and the acceleration of going really fast and then having to slow down because some Porsche Carrera 4 or AMG is in my way and I have to slow way down fast, they are awesome brakes and I wish that the Corvette came with them from the factory....the factory brakes are also great but you cannot stop repeatedly from about 160KMH and up and expect to have good brakes after some hard stops on the autobahn...They also are great at Hockemheim, we have some other vettes that race there also, including some other Z06's and some C5's with some tuning as well, everyone says they can see the Corvette brake rotors glowing from the grandstands after a few laps...they are all great cars...
Do you have a C4 or C5 or both? Are you going to Idstein for the 50th party there? Our Corvette club will be there. Hope to see you there.
What mods do you have on your car so far?
Take Care,
Nick
