Instead of
blowing air aimlessly around the wheel well, these brake ducts finish
where GM left off. Air is blown directly into the hub/rotor area to
dramatically reduce rotor temperature. Works with up to 10"
wide 18" tall front rims. These are now standard equipment on our C500/RSR.
Kit includes left and
right ducts with high temp hose and clamp. All hardware included
with instructions.
1 hour installation time. Will not work with the Pfadt swaybars. |

DRM C5/C6 Modified Master Cylinder This is a must for all enthusiasts with an upgraded brake system and it works good with any brake package, our AP setup, Willwood, Etc. For use with street or race setup. With this Modified Master Cylinder you'll get a bigger Master Cylinder that means that there is more brake fluid flow and a upgraded brake pedal feel. With this Master Cylinder the proportioning valve is added so you can control how much rear braking you want. That comes in handy at the racetrack. The DRM Modified Master Cylinder fits under stock location designed to clear the stock hood. If you are looking for maximum in braking performance this is the ticket. |

| Endurance racing is uniquely demanding on brake fluid and nobody knows that better than DRM. Experience has proven Castrol SRF synthetic fluid to be the best. The dry boiling point is at 590°F but what is truly amazing is that it's wet boiling point of 518°F is what separates Castrol SRF from the rest. When other race fluids take on moisture, their boiling point temperatures can drop to less than 300°F. That’s just not enough. Castrol SRF is also very resistant to moisture absorption for fewer fluid changes, and has extremely low compressibility delivering maximum efficiency and a firmer pedal. | ||||

| Brembo LCF 600 Plus Racing Brake Fluid Low Compressibility Formula Exclusively for Racing Applications Brembo LCF 600 plus Brake Fluid has been formulated to provide the highest performance in all racing conditions and has an independently proven low compressibility at high temperatures. Brembo LCF 600 plus fluid also resists boiling at higher temperatures (both wet and dry) over other race fluids. * 500ml bottle * Typical dry boiling point 601°F * Typical wet boiling point 399°F * Exceeds the requirements of U.S. FMVSS 116 DOT4 specifications * Mixes safely with DOT3, DO4 and DOT5.1 racing brake fluids NOTE: Not suitable for use in brake systems containing magnesium parts |

This is a 100% synthetic DOT 4 (not silicone) fluid. It has a very high dry boiling point of 593°F and more importantly its wet is at 420°F. Can be used for street or competition brakes systems made from steel or carbon materials |

A word about brake fluid. DRM recommends Castrol SRF or Motul RBF600 or Brembo LCF 600 due to their high wet boiling points. All brake fluids absorb moisture, some faster than others (except silicone which is not recommended for anti-lock brake systems). Castrol SRF resists moisture contamination (non-hygroscopic) more than any other fluid we tested, therefore change intervals can be greatly extended. This reduces the effective cost over a season of racing. Many drivers say that they can run the same fluid all year long with only bleeding off the fluid in the calipers for each event. This way a can or two will last all year. Other fluids (hygroscopic type) require additional flushing of the system for each track event to maintain the lowest percentage of moisture and the highest boiling point. For cars over 3000 pounds on high speed road courses DRM recommends brake fluids that do not fall below 400°F wet boiling point. |

The standard 1988-96 Corvette PBR calipers lack the rigidity required for repeated heavy braking. This caliper flex reduces braking efficiency, softens pedal feel and results in uneven pad wear. The 1996 GrandSport calipers, while not an all out race caliper, shine over the standard caliper under autocross and track events. |

Stainless Steel Caliper Pistons The factory aluminum pistons are a huge heat sink, rapidly transmitting heat from the pads into the fluid. DRM’s stainless steel pistons insulate the fluid resulting in a more consistent brake pedal and less chance of fluid boil. When high performance or racing pads are used these pistons are considered a must. Fits base and Z51 models for the C6, and all C5 models. DOES NOT fit the C6 Z06 |

Under even mild conditions stock brake hoses expand with every push of the brake pedal. This condition results in a soft pedal, reducing the efficiency of your brake system. In addition, when introduced to the rigors of racing, stock hoses can leak or burst. DRM’s braided stainless steel lines are designed to handle the demands of racing by also transmitting maximum fluid pressure to the calipers. Results are improved braking, a firmer pedal and increased driver confidence. Please note, we don't use factory style banjo fittings and bolts due to the risk of them getting knocked loose during track and high performance driving.

Good things often come in small packages. A lot of thought and successful racing experience went into the design of the DRM BrakeBias spring. Easily installed, this spring effectively puts more rear brake into your Corvette, giving you shorter stopping distances and more equalized front-to-rear brake pad wear. Also by having the rear pads do more work, front end nose-dive is reduced. This results in greater stability and vehicle control under extreme braking. On the C5, the DRM Bias Spring easily installs in the junction block, and on the C4, it installs in the front of the master cylinder. |

High Performance Rotors and Hats Stock rotors will not hold up under repeated extreme braking, especially when coupled with high performance brake pads. The killer is heat. DRM’s high performance rotor and hat assemblies are race proven to take the heat. Their extra thickness can handle the extreme temperatures without warping, and their directional cooling fins rapidly dissipate heat. The billet aluminum hats also aid in pulling heat out of the rotors. All this adds up to longer life for rotors, wheel bearings, brake pads and brake fluid. |

O.E.M. Replacement Wheel Bearings Extreme temperatures from heavy braking combined with high G-force corners will wear out wheel bearings in a big hurry. Loose wheel bearings will contribute to a low brake pedal due to lateral brake rotor movement and caliper piston retraction. |
