Default Corvette brakes - need help

Hey guys-
I was looking into brake systems for my 69 Camaro and started browsing through the Wilwood catalog. Since my base car was blessed with 4 wheel power drums, it's time to get something better. I have been reading the threads on some of you using corvette components. If I had to do a 4 wheel conversion, what is the complete parts list if I go the Corvette route? Is it a comparable way to go vs. Wilwood or Baer?

Try going to kore3.com they have a complete corvette list for your car. I bought thier entire kit for my car and it came with everything I needed to get it done. Took about 8 hours to do but if I were to do it again I could have it down in 4hrs. Great braking and looks. cant beat em. Oh and the guy there is Tobin he gives the best customer service. Give him a call and leave a message he will call you back.

Thanks for the props Mark. As for our kits, everything we offer is certainly going to be a huge leap in performance over the factory 4-wheel drums, but as to what specifically we would recommend for your application would depend on your build and budget. The base level C5/C6 kits are tough to beat with respect to performance per dollar value, parts availability is exceptional, as is the aftermarket support. Bigger kits require bigger wheels, wallets, etc, but can still be done quite reasonably for what you get, it just depends on what you're after.

What size wheels are you running? Any suspension mods in the plans? Please feel free to call or email if you'd like to discuss your application in person. Our contact information is on our website, www.kore3.com.

I went the Kore3 route myself for brakes on all 4 corners and am very pleased with the kit. Tobin rocks!
