Product Description
Note: This is a special BUNDLE kit for money saving, so no component change/deduct is allowed if you wish to purchase them with deduct or different option you can puchase them separately.
Kit Contents:
- 2 ea Front two piece rotors (342x32 vs. OE 345x30) - See installation note for a minor modification.
- 2 ea Rear two piece rotors (350x27)
- 1 set Front brake pads
- 1 set Rear brake pads
Unlike other aftermarket suppliers who simply just copying OE dimensions/design, RB has the knowledge and expertise in designing and making the brake components fit better than OE, in addition to improving the performance and durabililty, this has no exception for C8 brakes.
We put this bundle kit (rotor & pad) together based on our experience on Corvette brakes since early 2000 from C6*, C7, and C8 today, to assure you an optimal brake upgrade experience for your C8.
Brake pads are made with our newly developed compound (XT910A), it's environmental friendly (copper free), very low dust, no squeaking, and very liner in modulation (torque control).
XT910A is suitable for agressive street, spirited driving, and possibly light tracking. In order to assure customer for total performance satisfaction this bundle does not offer brake pads deduct so if you prefer to buy them separately you can find them individually.
*RB not only is the first brake company introduced stock replacement 2pc rotors for C6 Z06 and Z51, but also the only front 2pc rotors w/o having to trim the lower ball joints like Brembo or Stoptech (owing to our patented center mount design), and the only company offers 2pc rear rotors w/drum brake integrity.
We have shipped hundred sets of Z06 2pc rotors, after some 15 years we sold only a handful of replacement rotor rings - A real life testimonial of their durability.
Installation Note:
The front rotors are made to 342mm-The actual pad contact dia. (vs. OE 345mm) to eliminate the rusty lip, discs are made 2mm thicker (32 vs. OE 30mm) for extra thermal capacity. Confirmed per our fitment test it fits OE calipers & pads w/o any issue, however bending the dust shield (for extra clearance) is recommended.
This is the C8 Z51 front spindle before modification. Noted both endges are trimmed for installing our BBK.
1. Remove the dust shield from the spindle by losening 3 Allen screws.
2. Flaten the screw sunken bosses (on back side) by tapping with a hammer.
3. Reinstall the dust shield back to spindle.
This modification is also beneficial even for installing stock size rotors to improve heat dissipation by increasing the clearance between rotor face and dusst shield.
Replacement rotor rings:
The brake pads included in the car kit are for street/spirited driving, for off road application other compounds are available:
