Brembo 97-04 Corvette C5 Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 2pc 345x28 2pc Rotor Drilled-Black

This is the Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for the rear of your 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5. Brembo is well-known for making serious stopping power, and this kit is designed to give your C5 a significant upgrade over the stock braking system. It includes everything you need to install a high-performance braking setup, focusing on improved heat management and consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or track use.

At the heart of this kit are the Brembo 4-piston calipers, cast from aluminum for a good balance of strength and weight. These calipers clamp down on large 345x28mm, 2-piece rotors. The 2-piece design allows the rotor hat and the friction ring to expand and contract independently, which helps reduce the risk of rotor warping under heavy heat. The rotors themselves are drilled, which helps with initial bite and can aid in venting gases and water away from the pad surface, contributing to more reliable stopping power. The kit comes with black calipers and drilled rotors, giving your Corvette a distinct, performance-oriented look.

When you're looking to get the most out of your Corvette's braking system, especially if you plan on pushing it hard, a big brake kit like this from Brembo is a solid choice. It's a comprehensive package that addresses the key areas of brake performance: caliper clamping force, rotor thermal capacity, and overall system durability. This kit is a substantial upgrade, so be prepared for a more involved installation process compared to just swapping pads and rotors.
