'90 ZR-1 brake refurbish options - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

It really comes down to what you want to do. The GS/CE calipers are a direct replacement and add a little bling with the correct Venus rising corvette script logo and place a pair or Baer Eradaspeeds with them and that is a great looking setup.

If you are looking for more performance look into the six piston front narrowlites made by Wilwood

I think I've realized I really just want everything looked over, replace what needs replacing, and add a little bling for now to keep the Z on the road. Don't need extra performance at the moment, although I'm definitely looking to do that in the future.

I will look around for rotors, but my originals are probably okay for now. Not gonna lie though, been drooling over a lot of brake kits and youtube vids showing C4 through C6 brake upgrades lately.

I'm thinking of looking into what AP Racing has for my long terms plans while keeping my stock setup near term. The idea would be to autocross, and maybe try some track days in the not too distant future.

All,

Appreciate all of the input.

Going with Lone Star caliper to refurb the calipers, and get them powder coated in the process.

Sounds like a good approach. You might also consider replacing 30 year old brake lines with the braided stainless ones. I felt that when I did that on my '93 it improved the brake pedal feel a bit. Enjoy your ride!--Bob

Thanks. Agree, perfect time to do that. Just have to find a good set.

I believe I got mine from Doug Rippie back in the late '90s but I see they still offer them--about $140--on their website. Good luck with your project. --Bob

You have lots of options that you can experiment with color as well. In one of my earlier projects, I had a pair of black GS/CE calipers powdered coated red. Here is a way back Time Machine picture with some Baer Eradispeeds.

Great, thanks! Will check that out.

Calipers are with lonestar caliper now, going with a bright yellow powdercoat for calipers and brackets.

Thinking of some powerstop drilled and slotted rotors as well, should look a lot nicer, plus mine or worn and rusty.

Good time to check that fx3 actuators work too, and cleanup the abs sensors, and the list is growing!
