heavy duty brakes?
 
hey guys, im new to the forum but i owna white 6 speed stick shift LT1 94 corvette and its bone stock with a glass top, love it
but my question is that the brakes need to be worked on and the rotors have some scars and are to deep to be turned, so i need to replace them
the only thing is there are to types of brakes for a 94, heavy duty and non heavy duty, i would just say go heavy duty right? but the price are the same except the front passanger rotor cost a bout 20 buck more, so it must be a factory thing to make two different kinds
so how can i tell if mine is heavy duty?
i tryed to ask the dealership but they were retarded and sayed "heavy duty is better, duh!"
anyone know?

Look up your RPO codes. Code "J55" is the code for the heavy duty brakes.

I think that the HD brake package "J55" gave the car 13" rotors in the front and 12" rotors in the rear.

I guess that since they're retarded, that's a good thing, huh?

Now you should be able to get over on them.

Right?

Sorry guys but **YAWN** this talk about stock puts me out like a light.[sm=sleeping.gif].......J55 is the "heavy" duty brakes from the factory. Booorrrinnggg........You can upgrade to the C5 upgrade or go all out with the drilled/Slotted rotors stainless steel upgraded brake lines, Dot 4 fluid, and to top it all off wil wood 6 pistion**spell**calipers.[sm=violent053.gif]Pow pow pow. Take that stock! Also you can get brake ducts to keep them cooler. Try Hawk pads to. That set up sounds[sm=pimp.gif]
