It’s amazing that we don’t mind buying expensive gadgets for our cars but would gloss over that screeching sound from the brakes as being nothing serious. The truth is that you can’t play around with your brakes. If you are a C5 Corvette owner, then C5 Corvette brakes must not be handled with kid gloves. Similarly C6 Corvette brakes must be given the due respect that they deserve.
Basically it all boils down on being aware of what’s going on when you drive your Corvette. When you are aware you will know that as you hit that curve, your brakes tended to feel a little squishy. When you take a bend at high speed, your brakes tend to bind or do not hold the wheels evenly. These are all early signs of brake trouble. You’d do well to take a good look at your C5 Corvette brakes.
Routine maintenance of your Corvette brakes may need little more than some Corvette brake fluid test strips, a bleeder tool that could be either the MaxPro or the DIY+ and some good quality high temperature brake fluid. When you wish to go for an overhaul of your brakes, there are good high performance brake packages available. The C6 Corvette brakes would need front and rear cross drilled and slotted rotors, besides DOT approved stainless steel brake lines. These and the brake fluids are all available in the brake package. Go only for ceramic brake pads, which cause less build up of black dust on your wheels and are great for racing too.
