Big brakes - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm thinking about getting a nice set of brakes for the front and I'm soliciting recomendations. I have the stock 17 inch wheels.

How much you willing to spend?

Ha! Now that's what it is usually about huh? I'm not sure, I'm getting my tax return soon so as much as a couple grand. I like the Baer setups I've seen. Would like a nice big caliper!!

IMHO, don't waste time/money with the Baer track set up. It's basically a stock C4 caliper that has been machined/cast flat anda nice logo painted on.

Either spend the money and go with Alcon or Brembo. But remember, the larger set ups will require you to go to the 5 spokes, unless you want to push the wheels out using a spacer.

Very good to know. Thank you much, Jeff.

I think I want the 05 ZO6 brake upgrade. Is it worth it, and is there a kit they sell to adapt to our cars?

How about this? SSBrakes recommended this to me as an upgrade to ZR-1 system.

Interesting. Looks like they also have a 4-piston setup too, albeit with thinner rotors:
