Subject: Re: Brakes by biggrizzly on 2011/4/7 1:32:55 I know a lot of people go directly from a standard early caliper to a C5 and skip the whole J55 or Grand Sport Caliper. Also, the GS caliper is slightly different than the J55. Below is the link to the photos at Superior Chevrolet. Superior Chevrolet Caliper Comparison Well when I changed from my standard caliper to the GS Calipers it too was a significant difference. I had a long time Corvette mechanic from Sport Chevrolet work with me on these and Frank said too that most of the "significant" difference in feel was from the HPS pads and new flushed brake fluid. Not the calipers. So, when people go changing brakes and replace pads and fluid, that may be blurring the Seat of Pants feel to new brakes. I'm not dissing the C5 upgrade, just saying for a guy with GS calipers it might not be such a money-wise upgrade. And I also think Bill is onto something about going with an entirely different brake setup altogether. |
