Subject: C5 front brakes by sliding on 2008/1/21 18:02:15 It's been a while since I installed front C5 brakes but I can't say that I'm very satisfied. Problem is that after 1-2 hard breakings from ~120 to stop breakes get overheated and start to scratch on something and start shaking. If I let them cool down then it gets back to normal. Everything that I installed is new. Original C5 Z06 calipers and pads and I bought Durastop rotors (slotted/drilled). I know that rotors are probably junk but anyway I think that brakes should be better. I can't say that there is much improvement over stock 12" front brakes that I had. I still didn't install brake bias spring and I hope that it will improve things. Now, I have a few questions; 1. Are you staisfied with your C5 brakes? 2. Do you have bias spring installed? 3. Is there any kind of aftermarket master cylinder available that is better that stock unit and can be installed with not too many mods necessary? Here are a few pics of my install. before:  adapter installed]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/6642/adapterifu5.jpg[/img] after:   |
