Subject: Re: Brakes by bogus on 2011/4/5 5:17:29 It's a tough call... for me, they are the same basic caliper... 2 piston units... on a 13" rotor. It's not like the rotor gets bigger or the swept area gets bigger. I just checked a bunch of data over at CAC... interesting stuff... and enough to tell me that C5 brakes are not worth it. C&D got a C4 LT4 from 70-0 in 164ft. They tested 2 different early C5s, 163ft and 158ft. Even a C5/Z06 did only 152ft from 70. Sure, it's better, but how much of that is tire and how much chassis vs how much the brakes? If I do good pads, I will exceed any number from a stock C4 setup. Now, if this was a pre-1988 car... I could see the benefits, big time. |
