Few pics and comments on brakes and suspension>>>

[ZR1Vette]

I did a few upgrades to the brakes and want to share a few pics...

Pretty much the typical OEM look when I started... my project included rust removal from hubs and upgrading pads and rotors..


I have kept the OEM rotors, but will be sending to a company in California to bead blast and zinc coat (thus can return car to OEM set up)... here is their work on my C6 Z51 brakes>>
Before


After


For purposes of removing rust from hubs and leaving a zinc phosphate coating I use a product from EastWood... OxySolve which they now call Fast Etch and steel wool/brass wire brushes (really only need for stubborn spots)>>


Here is the ZR-1 hub after treatment


And now the completed set up.. EBC sport rotors, EBC ceramic pads, Goodridge SS lines and new caliper hardware

Note: black on rotor to pad contact area will rub off when brakes are used...this pic was prior to brake usage.
