[@rferg1533]

You think adding a supercharger to a Non Z51 will be a issue??

[@avikbonnerjee987]

[@BrinkofSpeed]

[@georgehendrixson8150]

The model Jason made was fantastic. Way to to go Darren and Mark. you have way more skills then I do.

[@thomasangelo4219]

Great job what a great help you had

[@joebanyas3461]

I like the video you did on changing your breakers on the c8 corvette the demonstration was great the little was very h😢

[@Bike_bender]

I did the same thing to my C7,,,Stoptechs I believe,,,,didn’t have to replace the rotors,,,after you clean the hub put a little Fluid film on a rag and wipe the hub,,,stops the rust from forming,,,

[@neighbormark]

Yes…love Fluid Film!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Mark never told us about that product, lol. He’s slacking! 👍😊😂

[@larryanthony1861]

Great episode, excellent tutorial, Mike. Makes it possible to effectively be a DIY brake specialist. THANKS!!!

[@R23HTC]

He could make a fortune doing those one off models.

[@LICCG]

Mike-Great mod upgrade and That model is beyond amazing Jason is extremely talented

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you! I agree, he is super talented and generous. 👍😊

[@snakeman48]

I use Power Stop Cross Drilled and Slotted with their Carbon Ceramic Pads. Been happy with them.

[@erico3378]

Great video, Mike!! I need to make it up to DFW for a Corvettes and Coffee to see the BOS C8 in person. That model is freaking amazing too!

[@williedavismckennie5334]

Great video, I have 34K miles on my 2021 and lives in Chicagoland. I will do my breaks this year.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you 😊

[@kerry_glock]

Excellent DIY Good Friends/Buddies Project! Makes me wish I had done more Backyard Shade Tree Stuff in my younger years!

[@amill1563]

Awesome upgrade. I was hoping to see a shot with the wheels on too.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you, you will soon 😊

[@shawnkeys78]

Nice work guys. I’m seriously considering doing this to my C8

[@kbergpe]

Jason is an amazing modeler! He’s a 3-D printing maniac! Well done! See it later this morning!

[@TheFlightman58]

Great info !👍👍👍

[@spearsall6941]

Love the model, your friend is very talented!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

I do too. He sure is! 👍😊

[@a1taxiofny]

Maybe on the new shirts put on the back special thanks and put your sponsors on there

[@BrinkofSpeed]

That would be cool for sure!

[@richardmorris7063]

That model was amazing, should have left the correct spoiler on it but what detail. It blows my mind whay people can do w/ a 3D printer.

[@petercarey6883]

As the song says, you can't by with a little help from your friends. Great to see theis project come together and kudos to all of you. 👍👍 Here's to happy and clean stopping Mike. Save the Wave 🙋‍♂

[@nyccorvette]

What a beautiful model of a beautiful car

[@drewpackard6646]

Great content Mike!!! 👍🏽

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Thank you Drew! 👍😊

[@bjones4301]

Great video as usual. Did yall disconnect the battery when changing brakes or is that not needed?

[@joserobertoa.teodoroteodoro]

Beautiful work

[@BrinkofSpeed]

👍😊

[@ATLJonathan]

Unbelieeeeevable Jason just Phenooooomenal

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Sure enough! 👍😊

[@acandr1]

Might mention to not have key fob anywhere near car with calipers off. And calibrate parking brake with new rotor thickness. Love my Girodisc/Carbotech

[@nrdemon1031]

Yes, keep keys away and don’t open the doors.

[@dalemeyer5363]

Technical service manual says to unplug the battery. This is extremely dangerous.

[@jamesgrimm2]

That model is absolutely fantastic!!!

[@frankiebpr]

Thanks for the Jack Info and the video!!! Frank Vet

[@IrocUnforgiven]

How did you get the e-brake to release from the rotor? Did you disconnect the battery? Thanks for the video!

[@richardmorris7063]

I suppose the drilled rotors help dissipate heat, they sure look the BIZ!!

[@chiefordnance]

Nothing like a mechanic with a carpenters hammer versus a ball peen or dead blow hammer.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Performance first in braking and then everything else. Steel hat rotors with limited thermal capacity for braking are dirt cheap, and do not do this cars capabilities any justice even in non Z51 form. Fully capable aluminum hat complete six piston caliper systems with thermal track rated tolerances are under 1,600 bucks for all four wheels including pads that are suited for either street or track use. The dust is mitigated with pad choice as well. This is where GM cut cost, but the aftermarket is cheap. This is a 500hp car with a heavy braking system that comes standard because its cheap. Just my opinion, but i would build this car for its intended purpose. Even a non Z51 car is capable of 458 performance with limited investment because the chassis is already there. Good video besides my rant.

[@nyccorvette]

To use the impact wrench on the rear you will need an impact swivel and an extension long enough to get you clearance for the impact wrench.

[@nrdemon1031]

Thanks

[@jamesgrimm2]

Asking this question. Are those rotors supposed to be directional due to the grooves (slots) and drilled holes?

[@matthewfoggon3893]

Torque to Yield one time use bolts fellas.

[@TommySalami73]

Are those rotors larger than the stock ones?

[@olofdaisler9121]

Can I remove trunk and frunk to shave some weight from the corvette c8?

[@TommySalami73]

are you still using these pads? hearing they are not good at high temps? thoughts?

[@marct9360]

What brand was the lift?

[@nrdemon1031]

The model Jason made is amazing in person how accurate it is the the actual car.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Sure enough! 👍😊

[@user-zh8vz8eu9q]

Were you happy with the brake dust reduction, noise and vehicle stop performance? Let me know, thanks Mike. Can I keep my factory wheels? Same disk/(rotor) size, correct? No need to acquire larger wheels, right?

[@MrH2O1984]

R1 concepts has no ETA on when they will get rotors back in stock 😢

[@nurburgringdreaming2221]

5th Gen Z/28 Brake caliper bolts are torque to yield so have to replace them . The threads get stretched because of the amount it’d torque required. Just saying

[@nurburgringdreaming2221]

Hey ,, the light holder is the most important job Lol Seriously tho.

[@survalvinherron8659]

Are the R1 Concepts brake kit, back in stock. If do you have the Link.

[@Jacob_LV]

I’m Wondering the same what’s the deal with the hold up…. You can’t even pre-order.. not even a update on when they will have more in.

[@marct9360]

Does the lift have safety locks?

[@nrdemon1031]

Yes

[@paulstamour926]

Did you guys disconnect the battery before doing the brakes?

[@BrinkofSpeed]

We did not. We locked the doors and put the keys inside.

[@Will-yp6ny]

Nice video but its somewhat dumb that R1 are completely out of stock of these rotors…

[@dalemeyer5363]

Don't lose a finger! Technical service manual says to unplug the battery. This is extremely dangerous. If the computer runs a test while you have you finger between the pads...

[@philsalley3278]

Why? You have a non-z51 C8. They do not generate brake dust. Believe me, I've had/have two.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Mostly for looks and to test them out.
