Tips for new users - when mounting PBR2 C5 Corvette rotors, mount them with the Bleed nipple on the top.
Failure to do so will result in aching arms, legs and much swearing, losss of sleep and brake fluid everywhere.
What happens is with the blled nipple facing downwards, a pocket of air is trapped in the back of the top Piston, giving you a totally wallabyted brake pedal.
Thankfully they are a quick relase calliper - one bolt removes and then I could swap sides. And re bleed. and test and check again. Bloody jacks and hand removing wheels..
Sexah stuff you can't see - Kit comes with Braideds Steel brake lines and new ZP line brackets. Also polyurethane hose bushes and new line bracket clamp clips.
Result: brake pedal is high and firm. Response is very strongly linear, making it very easy to adjust brake pedal input to braking requirements. The absolute stopping power is Huge. My eyeballs left indents on the dashboard behind the steering wheel, and it will take a hydraulic jack to pull all the teeth out of my steering wheel.
And they look absolute horn.
The wheels are 17" CSA Gladiators, so they kit will fit any 17" or larger wheel.
Yes - the rotors are powdercoated Red and Marked PBR2 - but with a different logo they are sold to GM USA for the corvette.
The rotors are RDA Gold Series. And that's paint, not gold passivating.
