I think I will have 2 sets of brakes for this car. The track setup with the Brembo and Monoblock Forgeline wheel (Pictured below). To keep with look of the car I’m going to order new Forgeline OE wheels that will take poverty cap hub caps. For the OE style wheel I’ll need to run stock C6 Corvette brakes. For just cruising around the OE black steel looking wheels will work well.

I was curious what the OE1's allowed as far as brakes (aggressive brake packages or limited to production based).

You can run “Big” or oppose piston brakes with the OE Forgeline wheel. It just pushes the center out board and make the center cap look odd.

See attached photos. The outer rim half is not very deep and IMO the center cap pushed out like this is not my preference.

Hey Mark, do you typically run the same brake pad for both street and track days?


If so which one?

Thanks

Are you still using TechAFX for the chin spoiler?

Do you go monoblock wheels nowadays for weight?

Wow I forgot about Tech AFX. Maybe?

I do monoblocks to clear the brakes and the are lighter and stiffer.

Great choice on the rims. Love that it has 14 in Roman numerals on the center caps. That's a nice touch.
