New Brake Rotors and Pads

[89Vette]

I'm surprised to find so little info on replacement brakes on this forum. This subject has to effect all of us.
I have been avoiding the issue by not driving my Dragon but as winter is approaching I have to find a solution.

All I want is a complete brake set that will not degrade from low usage, that look good, I want red calipers, and work well on a VX.
My R1 experience was horrible with two failed calipers.

What brake equipment, especially calipers, do my fellow VX owners recommend.

Thanks!

Why did your calipers fail? Rebuildable?

I'm using R1 rotors with OEM calipers. I recommend drilled/slotted vs smooth after this conversion. It made more of a difference than some feedback (on other cars) would indicate. I'd use R1 again when the rotors fail. IIRC, they have a couple of levels of quality too. Get the better alloy if you're worried about longevity.
