Decoding The Mods

The previous owner of The Beast put bigger brakes on it.

Well, bigger in the back.

Much bigger.

The front is Raybestos R-300 345mm rotors that are stock sized, but with 6-piston Brembo calipers from a '16+ Camaro SS.

The rear is a 360mm rear rotor from Powerstop for a Chevy SS Sedan with a 4-piston caliper sourced from a Caddy CTS-V.

I can attest, she stops.

    Larger rear rotors than front seems weird... But I suppose it can't really hurt and if the upgraded calipers in front are getting the job done with stock size rotors, it might not be worth the effort to go bigger.

      The SS Sedan has 360mm in the back and 355mm up front, so this happens on the stock cars.

      The PPV came with 345 up front and 324 in the back.

      The Brembo caliper for the rears that fits the stock rotor is virtually unobtainable for anything close to reasonable, so the larger rotor with the CTS-V caliper is a common upgrade.

      Judging from the dust, the fronts are doing most of the work anyways and it STOPS very well.
