Corvette Brake Parts

Corvette Brakes are great from the factory in the Later generation of cars. If you take you car from the street to the track though you may need some serious upgrades. Its Likely though you wont need any on a street car. But if you like the looks of a drilled and slotted rotor. And they do look cool! Look for ones that wont crack, warp or rust! Customer service, warranty and good reviews are important with brake rotors. Without any one of those three you risk being disappointed!Stainless steel lines are nice but not absolutely need in a street car. You may notice better brake feel but for the most part unless you are really pushing your Corvette you wont notice much performance increase.

FAQ
While slotted rotors do not improve brake cooling, they provide a nice cleaning action to wipe away friction debris. Friction dust and gas gets sandwiched between the pad and the rotor, and this can reduce pad bite. Independent tests show that slotted rotors do not improve the brake performance as much as drilled rotors, but they are structurally stronger to handle severe thermal shock.

Air flows over and through the drilled holes on drilled rotors to effectively dissipate heat and eliminate hot spots. If the drilling process is not done correctly it can severely reduce the life of the rotor.

The best rotors are treated with a zinc dichromate finish to keep that new rotor look.

Now for Brake shoes! Just like shoes you wear you have many options and uses. You have purpose driven brake pads just like you have basket ball shoes, walking shoes and shoes for your grandma. The best way to understand is to then compare the different types of pads and rotors with the three things I discussed earlier. Then come back search our site to Compare the prices.
