I have a newer master I got with the DRM bias spring.. I would need to locate an OEM Spring to swap I think before install

Yes I definitely want you to get this one.

Why don’t ya park your Callaway LM ZR-1 in my garage for a couple days?
Just don’t look at it too close when ya come to get it...
😇

Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
 

Yup!
Might as well!
Y’all ready got my wheels.

Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
 

Talked with tech reps from both Wilwood and Baer, both claim their systems work with the stock master cylinder... Don't want to get involved with swapping MCs or proportioning valves.
Due to several posts here, I still have concerns?
Concerns aside, for now, I'm leaning towards the 4 or 6 piston kit from Baer.
Pros:
1) I can use my existing Baer Eradispeed+, slotted & drilled 2 piece 13 inch aluminum hat rotors, saving several hundred $
2) I can use my existing Russell SS braided brake lines with banjo fittings at the caliper. Baer uses this stock type connection and no NPT, Wilwood uses a tapped NPT on their calipers with adapters. To me, Baer has a better solution, not to mention the $ savings by not having to buy new lines.
3) The needed parts are available separately from Baer, Wilwood pretty much insists you buy the whole kit and are of little help determining the separate part numbers...
4) The pads that come with the Baers are compatible (?) with the Hawk HPS being run in the rear, Wilwood was noncommittal on this.

Cons:
1) If it ain't broak, don't fix it...
2) Doubt if I'll be slowing from 200+ on the Mulsanne to 60ish for Indianapolis at Circuit de la Sarthe any time soon... (only in my mind...)
3) Still trying to talk Big John into parking in my garage...

Next concern: 4 or 6 piston? 4 piston Baer cylinder volume is 3.89 cu/in vs 6 piston 3.937. Not much difference, concern here is for MC compatibility. The pad surface and rotor "swept area" is the same. They both fit under stock A-Molds. Gotta admit, the 6-pots look better than the 4s...and, theoretically are more efficient.

I will say the Wilwood 6p I have are fine with the stock Master Cylinder.. that is why I have not swapped it yet

Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
 

Everyone's driving style and use of their car is different. While the stock C4 brakes, even the larger rotor stock brakes, need improvement, how far you go is a matter of all the factors mentioned. Baer, Wilwood, or whatever doesn't really matter. What fits your needs.


BTW, all the components of the Wilwood kits are available as individual parts in their catalog but not identified as for Corvette. They actually don't make as many hats, rotors, and calipers as one would think. They assembly their components into kits usually with the most unique parts being the mounting brackets. Same for Baer, DBA, etc.

Doug, like you said, I doubt you'll slowing from 200 mph anytime soon.
This sounds a visual improvement more than anything.
How do your existing look?

Re: Sitting here in the doldrums of Winter and this is the thought that came to mind.
 

Have you ever tried to keep up with Doug when he is heading home?
He definitely needs something to slow him down!
