Brakes not stopping very good !!

Hey Mario. Looks like you and Donny are both in Illinois. Why don't you take the car to him and let him fix it.

How about taking it back to the builder and letting them finish their job.... and making this stuff right??

I think he has had plenty of time to make it right and Mario is ready to drive his car. Builder had a focus on making everything look nice. Form over function. Pretty sure Donny will make sure it stops. Just sayin and not trying to argue with you Greg...

I understand Don - and I wasn't trying to argue either -- but paying someone ELSE to fix what the builder should have gotten right to start with -- is just letting the builder off the hook. THEY should have to LEARN from their mistakes and they should have to make good on the stuff they built and charged the customer for.

......sigh.

I typed a bunch of stuff but it doesn't matter. With facts we can find the root of the problem, with snark we can talk in a circle.

Greg is right on the money here. But just so everyone understands Troy never bowed out . I figured there was going to be problems and I wanted to learn the in's and out's of my car . I thought some of this was going to be a EASY fix but obviously it's not . Troy is going to get the issues corrected when SEMA is over.

Ok Mario. I have a brake pressure gauge you can borrow if you change your mind. I can ship it to you.

Sorry if I came off snarky. Was looking forward to you enjoying some good fall cruising before the snow flies.

Take care,
Don

Mario there's a reason Brembo (and AP Racing and Wilwood and many others) don't offer CC big brake kits. It's next to impossible to develop and support unless part of a completely engineered factory system (think GM and Porsche, and yeah I know everyone already read that earlier). I have read on the Vette road racing forum of guys and vendors trying different pads on the CC system with zero improvement. Side note: I'd hate to be the guy that has to pay for the CC rotors when experimenting with the wrong pad.

I recall it was either Charley or Mark trying to run those brakes on the track (on JA I believe) and had what sounded like fairly major issues.

Wish I had something better to add, but I think your best bet is to try the factory booster / master combo and see if that works.

I'm rooting for you man!

Don I would do that if I was at a cross road with my builder but that's not the case here. Troy is VERY aware of what's going on . I'm going to park the car after this weekend and wait till SEMA is over and bring it down to him to sort the many issues I have with the car. He has a major build going on right now and I figure it best to wait until he's finished with the SEMA trash.
