Racing Brakes has upgrade too with vented piston. Full kit with high temp dust seals costs 520 bucks. Do you have part number for yours? Curious cost. |

That was a price mistake on Amazon. Should be $160-$190ish. Anyways, that PN is for the J57 versions of the calipers. I believe they are the same size for J6H and J6M (17+ SS 1LE). The boots (19207044) show the same for them all. As you mentioned, RacingBrake has higher temp boots, and its vented pistons are all stainless steel. RB's kits for the fronts show the same PN between J57, J6M, and J6H front.

So basically if I ran GM parts I should run ZR1 pistons? To be clear what is that part#? When you add up both calipers then RB prices with hi temp seals are not that far off? |

However, if you are over-temping (pads, air flow, driving style) them more than what they were designed for, you will still have issues. Are you running 18" wheels? Lots less brake air flow with those that 19" or 20" of course. |

My first time at his track and with MVP, loved the track, thought the event was well run, and met a lot of nice people. I noticed in your video that you were running in Sport 1, curious as to why would not run in Race? Wonder if maybe StabiliTrac is kicking in a little bit and adding heat to the brakes.

Hey thanks for watching! I was experimenting with trail-braking in some corners. I wanted the extra level of protection for my experiment. I usually don't like the sideways-freedom that Race mode allows. If GM, Chevy, and their engineers think i'm so sideways i'm going to spin... by all means STEP IN mr. traction control.

I don't mean to sound like a downer, but I think that brake duct kit is probably insufficient. 2.5" ducts are pretty small and more Miata sized. The big heavy massively powerful cars like the Camaro are running at least 3" or even 4" ducts.
It may not sound like its much larger but even the 3" ducts have over 40% more cross sectional area over a 2.5" 4" has 2.5x more area. |
