Just had a quick read of the catalogue they have new replacement calipers for $469.95 US for a set of 4 or heavy duty delco for $559.95 US a set.

Yeah I just checked it out. Many thanks. They sure do have some gear but I'm mainly after some high performance gear.
Many Thanks for your time and effort.

Now those sound like the go! Works out similar money and they are totally brand new. Better choice for sure.

Say what?! Are these guys local or US?
Andy, If you go bigger rotors, then your going bigger wheels, yes/no?

Prob about 6 months ago Cam. Heard that they can be tricky to bleed but i didn't have any probs. Only thing was trapped air using gravity bleeding but nothing a bit of patience couldn't solve. Never had probs of air being sucked back thru the seals, especially with the rebuilt calipers with new seals. Still trying to justify the cost of a pressure bleeder to myself though... Would make life a bit easier (but for around $400 for a pressurising {hand pump or compressor} canister type)... :b4

I used speed bleeders on the calipers today and bleed all four from empty in an hour or so just by pumping the brake pedal.

Yeah I agree. If I can I would like to go Aluminium/stainless. See what I find and how much.
Anybody know of Aussie makers or importers of aluminium calipers?
Keep them coming guys. I want as many options as possible.
Thanks.

You could try Hoppers Stoppers. I have their DBA/PBR twin piston upgrade on the front of my car.
Otherwise if you want something a little more exotic try Cebco who are agents for Brembo and AP Racing. I don't know if they have any Corvette specific packages though.
