Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Lip and O-Ring brake calipers for C3 Corvettes?

Lip seal calipers use a traditional design found on many factory C3 models. O-Ring calipers offer better sealing performance and are more resistant to leaks over time.

Do I need to replace all four calipers at once?

It’s often recommended to replace calipers in axle pairs or as a complete set to maintain balanced braking performance across the vehicle.

How can I tell if my C3 Corvette calipers need to be replaced?

Watch for signs like pulling to one side during braking, uneven pad wear, visible fluid leaks, or a spongy brake pedal. Any of these could indicate caliper issues.
