New C2 owner

Hey Guys,

Just picked up my 2000 C2 a couple days ago and thought i would say hi

after i purchased it i was told it has GT3 brakes and suspension on it... i know it has the suspension.. you can feel that... lol. but what i am curious to know is how big are the GT3 brakes? and are there any key identifiers?

Thanks!


BTW here are some pics

GT3 brakes are 6 piston vs. a regular c2 4 piston. Do you have any pictures of your brakes? We can easily tell you.

edit: from the looks of the first picture, seems like you have the regular c2 black caliper brakes as yellow GT3 brakes would stand out at that angle.

good to know! thanks for the brake info , they are deffinitly the C2 brakes

Gave it a really good wash and cleanup today after a drive and noticed that all too familiar smell of coolent... and the expansion tank has just been replaced.... are there any other common areas this may be coming from? the tank level was a little low
