Project C4, 85 Corvette

[Steve85]

It looks like my first HPDE is around the corner so I will document the prep work here over the next few weeks leading up to Mar 8.

A little history tonight to start it off. The early C4 brakes are pretty much crap. Thankfully, a guy made some brackets to adapt C5 fronts to C4's. They are extremely nice pieces made of solid stainless steel. You can see them between the knuckle and caliper. I did this about 5-6 years ago and have since added steel braided lines.





Now to go along with this is the DRM (Doug Rippie Motorsports) bias spring which changes the front rear brake bias. The rear brakes actually do something now and front dive is minimized. It's a quick install by simply removing the front plug on the master cylinder a circlip, the old spring shoots across the room and you install the new one.



Brake work remaining is a slightly more aggressive pad and getting rid of the line lock which never worked well anyway. I think I will have a real nice street/ track setup that wil suit me well for some time
