Read what our customer's have to say about their brake kits.

Hey Scott,

Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that I took the Trans Am out for its first track day last week at VIR. It was an absolute blast! By the far the biggest reason was the new brakes! I ran seven 30 minutes segments over the course of the day on the grand course, which is 16 turns & 3.27 miles long. The front and back straight both required slowing from 130+ mph down to around 40mph. The C5 brakes were there every time I hit the pedal, all day long. Not even at the end of the segment did I even feel a hint of fade. Each segment I got a little bolder, and dove in deeper, and every time the brakes hauled it down and asked for more, no matter how hard I beat on them. By the middle of the day I was braking as late as any of the Porsches or Vettes that were out there. They are by far the best & most cost effective upgrade I've done to the car.

Most of the cars were high end European types, but there were two mustangs there, an 05 GT and an 07 Shelby. Both came by at lunch to commiserate w/ me about how they could only run 3 or 4 laps before they were getting spooked by brake fade. I told them I wasn't having any problems & pointed at my front wheels. That pretty much ended that conversation.

Thanks again for your professionalism in getting the kit to me so quickly, and your help in sorting the couple tech issues I had( especially not calling me a moron when I didn't bleed the master! ). I keep telling everyone who asks me where I got them about your web-site.

Best Regards,

John Kelley







Scott,
     

I purchased the C5 brake kit with the Z06 calipers and Hawk HPS pads and the cross drilled and slotted rotors. I looked at every kit available for the 3rd gen camaro and the kit offered here was cheaper and of the same quality and performance as all the other kits on the market. From the time I ordered the kit it took less then a week for me to get the kit. As the kit was being assembled I received progress photos which I thought was cool.  This is a very easy bolt on kit. It might have took about an hour to do both sides. These brakes made such a HUGE improvement over the stock brakes in looks and performance. I had several questions about the kit before I received them and Scott was there to help me every time no matter how simple the questions were. You will not get that kind of respect and courtesy from any place else!

Thank you-----Jason



Scott,

I finally got back from deployment and the second thing that I did was install the LS1 brakes on my thirdgen. You know what the first was. :) The
brakes perform as well as they look  

Wow!

 Hi Scott,

I received your brake package on Thursday and installed it on Saturday.   Installation was a breeze and I had no problems with them going on. It  took  about an hour a side. They look amazing under there and they work a  million  times better than the stock set up.

Here is a picture of the car with them  installed and one of the wheel with the brakes underneath. I am very  pleased  with the new look and feel of the car. Thanks for all of your support in  this!

Great product!

Hi Scott,

After nearly two years with your LS1-kit I still think that this was the best upgrade I've done so far on my Camaro. Stopping power from Autobahn-speeds is really increased and also the all around performance is a pleasure!

And last but not least they look a whole lot better than the stock ones... ;-)

Scott,

After a full season of track days, this kit is the single best investment that has been put on the car. Bang for buck the performance is phenomenal. The feel is incredible and response is light-years ahead of what came with the car. The feedback from others is amazing as well, they can't believe that I was able to fit Corvette brakes on a firebird.  Installation was incredibly easy and took only a part of a day.  The instructions and ready-to-go nature of this kit make it a must for any F-body enthusiast.  I hope you make a kit for the real because I'd buy it in an instant.

I looked for upgraded brakes for my 86 IROC for years.  Baer was too expensive, Wilwood and SSBC weren't much better.  Then I found Scott's LS1 upgrade kit for less than half the price.  Talk about a night and day difference. I used to be able to stand on my stock brakes with both feet and still not lock up the front brakes.  Adding those large binders and 12" rotors really made a difference.  I was so happy with the LS1 brakes, I upgraded again to the Z06 with slotted and cross-drilled rotors with ceramic pads.  Now I even have better brake pedal "feel".  Only light pressure is needed to slow the car down in normal driving, and when I am at the drag-strip, 106mph - zero never felt this smooth!

The C5 brake kit was the well worth the money. I knew the stock brakes were bad, but I didn't realize how bad until I installed these.  I received the brakes quickly, and they were packaged well. The kit was completely assembled when I recieved it, so it installed relatively easily without any problems. These brakes look fantastic and perform even better. Coming down from speed puts a smile on my
face every time. Great customer service and a great product, couldn't ask for a better company to buy from!



Hey Scott:

Hope everything is going good with you. I just wanted to let you know (one year review of the brakes). The whole system is awesome. Its still gripping perfectly. I have to say I got used to this kit  :). I only realized how good the braking was when I drove someone else's Camaro recently and drove mine after that. Wow, it felt so different. They bite real hard.

Attached is a pic after one year and a couple of
months . I don't know if anyone else sent a review
after a year :)
