Need to fix brakes SOON! any suggestions?
Are there any upgrades I should consider?
I bought the stainless sleeved calipers from Vette Brakes a few years ago.....is there a better alternative?

I wouldn't think you should have any problems with those. There are the O-ringed style which might be a little better, but run-out on your rotors will kill either one.

If you want to rebuild your calipers Zero Tolerance Industries (ZTI) makes the best kit on the market. I tried looking for past post about them, but search does not seem to be working well. I can get you a link to their page tomorrow when I get to work if you like.

Somone in the parts for sale section is selling a set of zero tolerance pistons and seals. He might be a good contact to find out more info if they are already sold.
EDIT: They are still listed: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=609226

Here is a link to the webpage for ZTI. I believe they have relocated to the east coast though. I am sure someone here has a number they can be reached at though.
