Corvettes are well known for their speed and power but just as important are the brakes and if you want your Corvette to be up to par with other classic roadsters then make sure the brakes are in prime condition and that all areas are covered to ensure your Chevy Corvette can stop when it has to. When maintaining brake systems keep in mind the areas of the brakes that will need careful inspection including brake pads, discs, rotors, drums and shoes.
