Agreed. Except that it probably would take quite a few less stops to find the difference! Confidence is key to braking efficiently, and better, stiffer components inspire higher levels of confidence.

No doubts, just a question. It is an important issue, so thanks for clarifying as we may not have met yet. I am interested in knowing what the overall balance shift was, but maybe I'm the only one?

On the SLP Performance web site, there is a Motor Week Video testing of their ZL575. The car had the 'upgraded Brembo GT Brake package' which had a 0-60 stopping distance of 110 Ft. I thought this was pretty close to the stock SS stopping distance.

In fact the V6 stops faster than the V8. But no one checks the braking after 5-10 60 to zero stops. This one is more important than just the 1 stop thanks mike dms |

I have several emails / PMs asking how much the Cadillac of Brakes for the 2010 Camaro cost me. Here is the reply in public.
You wouldn't want to know what it cost me. Doing the first is usually ugly. It didn't take an hour to do the brake bleed / fluid change. It took a day. Why? There was no information on how to do a fluid change and the new Internet based GM scan tool didn't have a function for this. So you research. You make calls. No one knows so you start guessing at solutions until you find one. We finally stumbled across the 2010 Corvette ABS routine in the Tech II tool. It looks easy in the thread. Witt has done all the hard work and the post makes it easy -- now. I am treated like family at Witt, which is wonderful. I do get a discounted labor rate because of the volume of work we do with Witt. They offer similar programs to other corporate service accounts. That said, virtually NOTHING we do together goes as planned because we are not at leading edge technology -- we are at the BLEEDING edge of technology. R & D, first fitments, test fitments take more time, blood sweat and tears than we ever allot for. That's OK. It is part of the business we LOVE. I hope you all enjoy the benefits of what people / companies like Witt Buick Pedders bring to the community. It is a business. They do make money. If they didn't share our enthusiasm for special cars, projects and people they wouldn't let us in the front door. Long story short, if you need prices or parts numbers that are not in the thread, give Arthur a call at Witt Buick Pedders or call your local Pedders Dealer. Please don't ask me for the information -- I don't have what you really need -- unless you want to pay my bill for the brake work at Witt. |

I have to say I really like the way that you folks promote your gear
You never knock the base car and never resort to over the top claims, and your website is really well laid out for each kit. You really do seem to try to stick to your "No Bull" tagline. I can see a Pedders upgrade in my cars future

the Pedders Camaro has been corner balance, and is lighter than a CTSV. since they are increasing the brake effectiveness equally, and the proportioning is programmed for the Camaro and not the CTSV, I would have no concerns or worries on brake imbalance. In fact, I would bet the Pedders Camaro will significantly out-brake a CTSV. Out handle it big time as well.

I need a little more info on the CTS-V calipers to get it all sorted out. After I get a few of the too many projects off of my plate, I'll chase that stuff down. Chris |
