Subject: Re: Brakes by bogus on 2011/4/11 20:46:31 The brackets aren't the problem... the problem was for me, with GS/J55 already, was a C5 upgrade worth it? From what I am reading and such, no, it wasn't. Now... if this was Oct 2001 all over again, and I had to do the brake upgrade, was the GS deal from Jeff Kopp a good deal? I would say, yes, brackets, rotors, Grand Sport calipers, all for $440.00, shipped. A lot of us got in on that GP then. As for Brembo brakes on the ZR1 and Z06, I do know that the carbon ceramic rotors are the same as Ferrari used on the Enzo. Good? I donno, just say'n. I know that Brembo makes all sorts of brakes, no question. They are OE providers from Nissan (370Z and GT-R) all the way up through Porsche and Ferrari. It's a good product... and they also do brakes for F1. Since I haven't priced ZR1 calipers yet, I have no reference. You may very well be correct. I think many of us take the approach that if we can buy a used caliper, we are ahead, financualy. But that's hard to swollow when you concider this reality: I was stopped at a light recently. Next to me was a brand new (or nearly), 911 Turbo. It had the optional big brake kit, with carbon ceramic rotors and stuff. I realized at that moment, his brakes were worth more than my entire car. |
