Brembo 06-13 Corvette Z06 Excl CC Brakes Rr GT BBK 4Pist Cast 345x28 2pc Rotor Slot TY3L - Silver

The cast aluminum, four-piston calipers in this Brembo rear big brake kit are designed specifically for the 2006-2013 Corvette Z06, excluding models with the factory Carbon Ceramic (CCB) option. These calipers house 345x28mm two-piece rotors, featuring a slotting pattern that helps clear dust and gas away from the pad surface. This design ensures consistent braking performance, especially during demanding driving conditions where heat buildup can be a concern.

Brembo's attention to detail extends to the materials and construction. The calipers are made from cast aluminum, which offers a good balance of strength and weight savings, crucial for maintaining the Corvette's performance characteristics. The two-piece rotor design allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can dissipate heat more effectively than a traditional one-piece rotor. The slotting on the rotor surface is not just for looks; it actively contributes to keeping the brake pads clean and preventing glazing, which can reduce stopping power. This kit is a significant upgrade over the factory braking system, aimed at drivers who push their Z06 hard and demand reliable, powerful stopping performance.

When installing this kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as it involves replacing the entire rear brake assembly. Ensure you have the necessary tools and consider replacing your brake fluid with a high-performance DOT 4 fluid to take full advantage of the new braking system's capabilities. This kit is a substantial investment in your Corvette's performance and safety, providing a noticeable improvement in braking feel and fade resistance.
