Agostino Racing Components (ARC) is now a dealer of Dilusi Motorsports Brake Products.

ARC would like to start things off by offering a great deal to Corvetteforum members on the Dilusi Stage III Big Racing Brake Kit.



The StageIII Big Racing Brakes are the absolute best solution for the person who is seeking the most in performance, endurance and looks. This setup is Dilusi's most popular package and has gained overwhelming endorsements due to their ability to stand up to the worst track abuse. These packages have been designed from the ground up to work with the existing master cylinder and ABS systems while maintaining or enhancing the system bias. They are direct bolt-ons and WILL fit beneath your factory wheels. With race quality rotors and pads that are almost an inch thick each these brakes have a very long lifespan, even through intense track usage! One customer had over 9,000 documented track miles on his first set of rotors and drove his car on the street every day.

For the looks oriented you can choose the color of the rotor hat as well as cross drilling, slotting, and zinc washing of the rotor surface. (NOTE: Drilling and slotting may lead to shorter life expectancy.) There are many diffent pad choices available and because these calipers are so popular throughout racing, parts are inexpensive and easy to locate. professional installation is recommended, requires standard tools and will take only a few hours.

You don't have credit with the bank of MATTG?:):D

RG if I had MAtt's money I'd burn mine :lol: :lol: :lol:

What's the stopping power of this setup? Also, does slotting or drilling affect the stopping power as well? And how does this setup compare with the baer or brembo setup? other than the fact it fits the stock wheels? Thanx :cheers:

dexter

Those look sweet! :cheers:

vettethret

What are the stopping distances from 60 to 0.
:cheers: :D

John Shiels

They look good and the pricing seems reasonable compared to others but 9,000 miles of track use :lol: The driver was he on oxygen? They must have mounted them on a kart? I would like to hear someone who run's them speak and compare to stock rotors and with racing pads etc.

Is it $2,200 for just the fronts? I talked to Dilusi about this kit and was planning to buy it, but I've been waiting for HRE to get back to me on fitment issues for about a week now.

CRUZMISL

Yes Matt, testing needs to be done on this system to truly determine it's effectiveness. I elect myself/car as the test pilot. So send the kit down to me and after I'm done my long term testing (about 4 years) I'll return the kit to you and report my findings :lol:

I talked to someone at Dilusi and they said with good front tires it's about 94 feet 60-0 with just the front kit and about 86 feet with the front and rear kit. They only recommended the front and rear kit for heavy track use.

RG in Dallas

The comments I've always heard reference the no fade feel of these brakes while road racing or hot lapping. SW has tested or runs them and he is a road racer first, not really a dragster...or so he tells me... and then rips off 9's.:)

No fade is a big deal, believe me. Road race courses where you get up to say 110 mph in straights and use the brakes a lot more because, like me, you're not that experienced:), will benefit from brakes like this.

How about the numbers for stock brakes? Any ideas?

Thanks

I think I saw a convertible in Motor Trend get about 117ft. I think I've seen Z06s get around 110ft in other magazines. Someone correct me if I'm wrong since it's off the top of my head.

NBMDVM

:bs :bs :bs 60-0 in 86 ft-- no chance. The C5R does it in 96ft(R&T 6/01) the Panoz LMP in 108ft and the stock Z06 in ~120 ft. No brakes, no matter how large and pretty will stop the car any faster than the limits of tire adhesion allow. Considering the stock brakes are fully capable of braking at the lockup threshold, I doubt these brakes will stop the car any faster than the stockers. Yes, they will porbably hold up better on the track(less fade, etc..) and they look pretty, but you're not gonna stop any faster. And if they will stop a C-5 in 86 feet (shorter than a C5R..) on ANY tires, short of dropping anchor, I'll eat those rotors.
JMHO ;)

What is the price of replacement rotors non drilled, no zinc, just for road racings. Thanks for the email Ben I'll catch you again. :D

Benefit of the bigger brakes is reduced brake fade and "ability to remain closer to the limit of adhesion".

In short, you are able to stay closer to the point of wheel lock up without locking up.
