The only pic i have is this one of the junko swollen leaking caliper hose that came with the J55 upgrade kit:
Ahhhhhh That hose is scary, and it came with the "up grade" ??? Damn. I run Stock brakes front an rear with stainless hoses. still playing with the low dust, racetrack stopping, caliper friendly brake pads...Hawk seems the best
ZR1 brakes cleaned up and painted. I installed drilled and slotted rotors plus hawk hps+ pads, and new stainless steel braided brake lines. Such a great combo.
What kind of brakes are you running?
brembo?
willwood?
ebay cheap Chinese copy?
stock with caliper covers?
What have you done and let see pics!
What are you using the car for?

Cadillac CTS-V 4 piston Brembo front calipers with 14" C6 Z06 rotors and Hawk HPS pads all around custom braided stainless steel lines all around from Kore 15. Stock calipers in the rear and drilled and slotted power stop rotors in the rear
Side by side of the 14" Z06 rotor next to the base 12"
Stock Z51 setup. They can fade from 100-0 (especially with repeated application of same), but I rarely drive it like that any more. Car's a DD in summer.
Pretty decent otherwise. Just keep the wheel sensors clean to eliminate ghost ABS faults.

Hi
Dont bag the stock early brakes, they need high friction brake pads to work well.
Replace the brake fluid with dot 4 fluid, get some Hawk street or Hawk hp plus brake pads and never have brake fade again.
I tracked my 85 with the original single piston callipers for many years, never got brake fade on the track. Motion sickness usually stops me. The brake fluid is most important it absorbs moisure and needs to be replaced regularly, and good brake pads you want good brakes.
I put the J55 option twin piston callipers and 13 inch discs on to fill the wheels, plus they were dirt cheap on ebay
They do grab very nicely, improved braking overall with minimal pedal effort.
The slotted discs are great, you can spray the discs with water and they bite instantly. They are a bit noisy when really stomping on the brakes hard.
I do need to replace the fluid in my car. In 13 years I haven't, and who knows how long it was for the previous owner. And it was in storage for 4 of those years that I've had it.
I do have some DOT 4 around here somewhere. Just need my buddy's hoist for an hour or so.... I think the pads are good. I haven't had the wheels off since the last tire change.
