Brake upgrade

[mlilleb]

Hello
I want to upgrade the brakes on my Syclone, I have read about different upgrades regarding to parts on the forum....
I looking for brakes that will work driving on a raceway with alot of hard braking into corners....
See that some of you are using corvette calipers with 14" breaks discs.
As I understand you need set of new brackets to mount these kind of calipers onto a Syclone.?
So the question is where can a get a hold of these parts...
I would like to have good quality breakes.
I have seen a setup for around 700$ on this forum...
But is there anywere on the net you can buy all these parts and ship them to Norway?

Also do I need to remove the ABS to get good effective brakes?

Re: Brake upgrade

the brackets you can get from renzfab..

c5 or c6 brakes would probably be best for racing, however you will need to run a 17" wheel.

Re: Brake upgrade

hello

A little update on the brake convertion....
I have bought DBA street series 13" drilled and slotted rotors, hawk ceramic pads and Corvette C6 calipers....
And I want to get the convertion brackets from RenzFab....

So now I'm looking forward to get all the part to Norway and mount them...:lol:

Any of you that have experience with this setup?

Re: Brake upgrade

That setup will treat you well, on a 17" wheel. The "Ls1" brakes are the best for all around bang for buck, but mostly cause they fit under stock wheels. I "hear" they have larger pistons than the c5/c6 brakes, but usually a smaller rotor. You will love your brakes after your upgrade. Dont forget a abs delete...

Re: Brake upgrade

I cant wait to take the truck to the track next summer...
Tried it this summer, but I had HUGE problems with stock brakes.....
So I'm looking forward to test the new ones...
I hear a lot of people delete the abs, do I need to get some new parts to do this?

You need to buy braided ABS delete kit at hoodtuned.com store.
