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

This is the Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for the rear of your 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5. It's a comprehensive upgrade designed to significantly improve your car's braking performance, especially if you're pushing it hard on the track or just want the best possible stopping power for spirited street driving. This kit replaces your factory rear brake components with larger, more capable parts that can handle more heat and provide a more consistent pedal feel.

At the heart of this kit are the 4-piston cast aluminum calipers, which offer increased clamping force over the stock calipers. These are paired with a 2-piece rotor design, featuring a 345mm diameter and 28mm thickness. The 2-piece construction allows the rotor's friction ring to expand and contract more freely with heat, which helps prevent warping and reduces stress on the hub. The rotors themselves are slotted with Brembo's Type-1 pattern, which helps to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, maintaining optimal friction and preventing fade during heavy braking. The silver finish on the calipers and the overall well-built nature of the components speak to Brembo's reputation in high-performance braking.

When installing a kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the rear axle, but you'll want to confirm that your wheel clearance is sufficient for the larger caliper and rotor assembly. Upgrading your rear brakes to this level often pairs well with a similar upgrade on the front for balanced braking performance across the entire vehicle.
