It's time. My OEM rear inner brake pad has gone bad[emoji37] so it's time to install the Corvette brakes that have been sitting in the garage.

I've been driving my XLR for last week and every mile I've enjoyed. Doing some minor chores like getting the AC Forged wheel fixed and getting items at local shops.

Amazing that you can fit two large diameter wheels in the trunk[emoji38]

I was at the 50th anniversary SEMA show in Las Vegas[emoji4]

Awesome show with plenty of cars to see!

I've been adding on the miles but enjoying every mile. I've parked the car for now, but around March I'll bring it out.

Well, four years later I finally got around to having the Corvette rotors and calipers installed.

Rear brakes were gone. I could hear them squealing!

Very nice. I am considering doing a V2 swap of rotors and calipers for the front.

Okay, now it's time for my personal review. The upgraded Corvette brakes & calipers are perfect! I must say at first I didn't notice the difference but after driving 300+miles I must say that lthe upgrade is noticeable. First off; six piston vs two. Brake feel is stronger (more grip) when coming to a stop. The visuals are better-hands down. The extra weight hasn't affected steering or cornering.
