Le Mans GT Brakes – Callaway Camaro
Bred at Le Mans
Our Le Mans experience has taught us about the security that comes from a brake system with a lot of headroom. The Callaway “Le Mans GT” Brake System option is designed to make sure that the Callaway Camaro’s stopping ability matches its newfound speed. We have carefully developed the right piston layout, disc material, disc attachment method and pad material to come up with a tireless brake package that stops the car extremely well, time and time again, with fine modulation and great pedal feel.
Callaway Le Mans GT rotors are slotted to evacuate dust and gases for maximum pad contact, while avoiding the cracking prevalent in drilled rotors. Their 380 mm front and 355 mm rear diameters provide additional surface area and their increased mass provides greater capacity to absorb heat. Patented internal cooling vanes provide up to 80% more airflow than stock rotors for increased heat dissipation. Anodized aluminum hats serve to reduce overall rotor weight.
Six-piston front and four-piston rear caliper design provides increased clamping force while differential piston sizes minimize pad taper. Computer-aided finite element analysis was utilized to design caliper forgings with exceptional stiffness. A patented, bolt-in bridge further provides rigidity, virtually eliminating any distortion. Contour machining processes remove excess material to minimize mass and unsprung weight. A hard-coat anodized finish resists corrosion, extending durability and maintaining as new appearance. Callaway installation includes pad/rotor bed-in procedure.
The results are shorter stopping distances, optimum front-to-rear brake bias, extended pad and rotor life, and firmer pedal feel with practically zero fade. You’ll feel the difference the first time you step on the brake pedal.
“Brake hard—repeatedly—and you get carrier-landing deceleration accompanied by whiff of pad,
but not one iota of fade or pedal softness. ”
