Very nice.. the same brakes I'm running. The best part is all of the pad choices on the market that fits them.

I gotta say Steve, it was one of the reasons for going with these brakes--ease of getting pads--and lots of options when choosing. When your pump went bad at the shootout, it was great that you could drive into town and just pick another one up---that left an impression on me--especially since this one is for driving to work--auto x and track days.

I have to say that I really agree with the Theory of Rupp! Use as many OE parts as possible!

As you mentioned Doug, Steve's water pump is a perfect example of why this is so important for a car that gets used!!

Agreed. All of the same reasons i am using the Z06 brakes and as many other stock parts as possible. I have learned a lot from watching all of these projects come together here as well as the finished ones getting dialed in and abused too. (Todd )

I gain more respect for GM everyday. There is something to be said for the reliability and availability of GM parts. That's the beauty on an LSX motor, stock syle pumps, and corvette brakes. With that being said, every car has so many custom touches that it doesn't take much to end your day. After all I broke a stock GM power steering pump at Spring Mountain as well. In fact, it's the same type 2 pump Steve broke at the Optima Challenge. I know his was a turn one already that had seen better days. Not all stock parts are engineered to be pushed to the level some of us are looking for either. I've already made the bed I lay in and you won't see me running the one lap of america. At the end of the day, your only as good as the sum of your parts.
