I was woundering on the front JL8 brakes what is diff? I know the calipers and the brakets are but what eles? Also I have seen some people on ebay selling rear JL8 disc caliper brakets but they look like corvette brakets http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif. Is there any diff other than maybe part # or are they the same? They want $350.00 for what is said to be JL8 stuff but the corvette ones go for around $65.00 to $100.00.
Was thinking of put JL8 brakes on my Camaro Just beause I have to get front brakes anyway so thought would look better and work better.
Thanks http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

The 4 piston brakes are better as far as stopping power. They are easier to change the pads on for road racing. If sleeved with Stainless they are not too much of a problem, just go with the single piston ones they are much cheaper, easier to find parts for, and much less headache.
I too personally like the way the 4 piston ones look. They just scream performance. But if your car is not going to be original you might as well go with Baer Brakes or the like.

I believe everything on the front is different- rotors, bearings, spindles, front hubs, brake hoses and hose brackets, caliper brackets and calipers. The rear just used two right side Corvette 5977 brackets.

I saw those same JL8 brackets on eBay. I know they are repos and I think they are way overpriced.
