Brembo 97-04 Corvette C5 Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 345x28 2pc Rotor Slotted TY3L - Black

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for the rear of your 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 includes everything you need to significantly upgrade your braking system. You get a pair of four-piston calipers, two 345x28mm two-piece slotted rotors, caliper mounting brackets, and all the necessary hardware for installation. This kit is designed to replace your factory rear brake components with a much more robust setup, offering improved stopping power and heat management for your C5.

The calipers in this kit are cast aluminum, which helps keep unsprung weight down while providing a solid foundation for the four pistons. These pistons work together to apply even pressure across the larger 345x28mm two-piece rotors. The rotors themselves are slotted, a design feature that helps to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface. This slotting action is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance, especially during repeated hard stops, as it prevents the buildup of heat and debris that can lead to fade. The two-piece rotor construction also allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can dissipate heat more effectively than a traditional one-piece cast iron rotor.

Installing a big brake kit like this one is a significant upgrade for any Corvette C5 owner looking to enhance their vehicle's performance, particularly if you track your car or frequently drive in demanding conditions. While this kit is designed as a direct replacement for the rear axle, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and torque specifications. Ensure you have the correct tools and consider flushing your brake fluid with a high-performance DOT 4 fluid to get the most out of this Brembo kit.
