Call me an idiot, but I just noticed my calipers say PBR, Made in Austrailia on the top of them. There's a patent number or something too. Now, if I'm not mistaken, isn't PBR a part of Baer or something. I know Baer has PBR calipers. Are all 98+ rear calipers PBRs? Someone please set me straight. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Why do my rear calipers say PBR on them?

PBR is on my stock rear caliper too....must just be the company that makes them for GM or something like that.....Justin<br /><a href=\"http://www.bass482.com/firebird/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"> 2000 Black Firebird A4 Y87<br /></a>170.2rwhp/203rwtq (SAE Corrected)

PBR does make the Vette calipers, but the F-body parts are not the same. There are some strengthening ribs that are smaller or missing on the F-body parts. This results in flexing, or caliper spread, that reduces effectiveness. There is also some info that the F-body parts may be made at different site than the C5 part. The general idea is the C5 caliper is more robust than the f-body pieces.
