equipped previously with Vette Brakes’ slotted rotors, the older OEM calipers were in much need of replacement, as evidenced by the groaning and squealing noises whenever the brakes were applied. For the brake overhaul, we met Vette Brakes’ Paul Lesinski at the Chevy Service Center in Largo, FL, where owner/technician Vern Carmack handled the job in just a couple of hours.
     With the new Vette Brakes’ kit laid out on the work bench, Carmack stressed the need to disassemble the new calipers for lubrication in a number of areas. He also coated the back of the pads with Disc Brake Quiet, a coating that will help reduce metal-to-metal contact and eliminate the chances of brake squeal and other weird sounds. With the calipers lubricated, the brakes are ready for years of steady stops and noise-free service.
