Ive been thinking about buying Corvette brakes for my 68 Camaro project.

Are they worth buying? I know Ill need others parts so the price will go up from here. But for the size of these I dont think I can touch a aftermarket kit.

i really think you should jump on those. I literally have been looking at that same auction for my 70 nova. If you read my post right below yours you can probably get some more insight.Some of the members have responded back with some great info. let me know how it goes!

Man how did I miss that post,lol. Im close to buying them. Did you get as far as a total cost for everything needed?

I've dealt with them before ,twice both times went good for me. If you want some other parts from GM give them the part nmber and they will give you a price Wayne

go to forums.corvetteforum.com and check around. i got my c6 z06 calipers and pads for 650 shipped and i bought my dba slotted rotors for 500. thats $1150 total, all new, and i got much better rotors while at it.

a lot of guys on that site buy these to upgrade their non z06 cars only to go out and buy brakes in excess of 5k. they usually dont mind losing a little money to make the brakes sell fast.

if youre looking for tech info, or if you need a parking brake kit talk to tobin at kore3.com.

hi Im running the red 2 piston corvette calipers and 13 inch rotors on my chevelle .. i bought brake lines from tobin and a bracket to mount every thing from kore3.. im running a stock booster and i bought a master cylinder for disk brake then i installed a master cylinder from a 4th gen camaro... im having trouble ... when i bleed master cylinders then run the car the pedal goes to the floor and i cant get the car to stop.. actuly no mater what i cant get it to stop... no matter what master i use it seem like ther isnt enough power to squeeze the calipers.. any suggestions on what the problem can be..

what size master?
did you bench bleed it first?
are you sure you got all the air out of the system?

I have the C5 setup on my 67. Tyler at ATS helped me get every thing I needed. Might want to put a call into him to make sure you don't miss anything and that your getting a good price.

edit: now that i think about it are you sure the pedal rod is pushing the master all the way in? i was un aware that the 4th gen master was just a bolt in item. and that could be the problem also.
