Brembo 97-04 Corvette C5 Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 2pc 345x28 2pc Rotor Slotted Type-1-Black

The 345x28mm, two-piece rotors in this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are a key component for serious Corvette C5 owners looking to significantly improve their rear braking performance. This kit is built around a robust four-piston caliper design, offering more clamping force and better heat dissipation than the factory setup. The cast iron construction of the caliper bodies is well-built to handle the stresses of repeated hard braking, while the two-piece rotor design helps manage thermal expansion and reduce weight compared to a solid one-piece rotor.

Brembo has slotted these rotors with their Type-1 pattern, which is designed to help clear out dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface during aggressive driving. This helps maintain consistent friction and prevents glazing, ensuring you get reliable stopping power when you need it most. The calipers themselves are finished in a sleek black, adding a performance look to your Corvette's rear wheels. This kit is a comprehensive upgrade, intended to replace your stock rear braking system with a more capable setup.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a significant upgrade from your original equipment. It's designed to be a direct fit for the 1997-2004 Corvette C5 rear axle, but it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding brake line connections and caliper mounting. This kit is a solid option for anyone prioritizing braking performance and durability for their C5 Corvette.
