Default LGM "G-Stop" Brake Package for the C5

LG Motorsports is pleased to announce our much anticipated big brake kit for the C5. You asked for it, and now you're getting it! For anyone who has ever considered upgrading the brakes on your C5, it's time!

Our kit is currently for the front only and is designed to maximize the braking performance of the C5 without braking the bank at the same time. Additionally our brake kit will work with standard C5 rotors, Eradispeeds, or other stock replacement rotors.

The kit will clear the Z06 wheel with plenty of clearance, and most aftermarket wheels also. Some wheels will need a small spacer and longer studs, which we will supply.

Our kit includes billet aluminum Wilwood 6-piston calipers up front with a street/competition pad*, drilled/slotted/zinc washed rotors, radial mount brackets, ARP studs, shims, aircraft quality "Jet Nuts", front SS brake lines, and all the necessary fittings and hardware.

The "G-Stop" package available now (front only) is available to Corvette Forum members at an introductory price of $1499**. The front caliper kit by itself for Corvette Forum members without the rotors is $1299**.

Contact LG Motorsports at 972-272-7753 immediately to place your orders.

The above pricing is for Corvette Forum members, and the regular retail price will be $200 more.

*Our standard pad is low noise and low dust, optional race compounds available for an extra cost.

** Plus applicable sales tax and shipping.

For the street drivers the stock rears are fine. For those that race their car we offer a rear pad for the stock calipers that balance out the braking bias with the G-stop front kit a little better.

We are developing a rear 4-piston kit for the dedicated racers and enthusiasts that can be added on later. All of our testing has shown this front kit to be significant upgrade in brake performance while not noticeably effecting the brake bias. Remember the fronts do most of the work anyways and our goal was to make a kit in this price range.

Yes they will work with the CCW's or any other after market wheel and are available for immediate shipping. We supply longer studs and a shim just in case you need them. The HPS pads for the stock calipers are 89.00. Call the shop tomorrow AM for a complete quote including tax, shipping, and rear pads.

Ok I just called and spoke with Lou. Give him a call tomorrow and he will have you make some measurements on the CCW's to make sure they clear.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Basically Lou will need to know the distance from the caliper to the spoke - how much clearance is available. These 6-piston calipers are significantly larger than stock. I told Lou you will give him a call tomorrow - 972-272-7753.

The Dilusi kit (just front) is more than twice as much as ours and includes larger 13.6" rotors I believe. Dilusi does not own or have exclusive agreements with Wilwood. Our kit has been specifically designed to use stock size rotors. We have worked with Wilwood in producing these calipers just for the C5 to our specs. During the development of our kit we have tested and proven it on the track.

They should take at least 4-5 30 minute sessions.

Please post when you get an update on the CCW wheel measurements. I'd measure, but they aren't installed.

I swap to an 18x10 front for play time.
