Default what aftermarket disc brakes (calipers, discs, pads, etc.) do you gentlemen

what aftermarket disc brakes (calipers, discs, pads, etc.) do you gentlemen feel is the best VALUE in an upgrade suitable for upgrading a 1974 corvettes front and rear brakes, my brother-in-laws looking to significantly upgrade the brakes on his corvette with better quality brakes and wants to look over all the options available?

I got new rotors and pads from Brakemotive for the blue C5Z (http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forum...ad.php?t=72776) and so far they seem to have held up well. Very little brake pad dust and the rotors have held up well with no rust visible even on the contact surfaces. No squealing at all, and they work like they are supposed to. And I think you would be hard pressed to beat the price on them.

So when my brake pads and/or rotors need to be replaced again, I would get these again.

I put the same brand drilled and slotted rotors and pads on my CTS V that Rich has. Mine has the Brembo calipers and the huge 14" rotors. I've never had a car that could stop like this Caddy can.
