Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?

I have found using the tow/haul feature works exceptionally well for high speed down hill curves, takes a lot of the load off of the brakes.
your 2011 should have the grade-braking feature with the tow button on.

Prob shouldve clarified that in those scenarios I was trying to get to a checkpount location and get set up before the first vehicle in class arrived. I was accelerating to whatever I could get up to in between those sharp turns. Basically going from one pedal to the other until the brakes got enough heat in them that they began to fade.....

I'd say about 85-90% of the time I drive in Tow/Haul and M5, and I agree under normal conditions Tow/Haul does exactly what it supposed to do! A+ feature and function

@5StarCustmSolutns not sure if you were asking me?

I have no idea what rear wheel diameter you need for the Corvette rear brake upgrade.

I think this may be the kit though. You can probably call those guys and ask them. It says it works with 1999-2018, 6 lug with rear disc. So basically GMT800/900 and K2XX.

I think someone did that before you got it. If you're the original owner, well then, I learned something new today!

Yeah, I hope this post doesn't damage my street cred on here too severely lol, but I totally mis-thought that.. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of the 4 piston upgrade for the front and how the ratio for the number of pistons rear to front is .5/1 and No.... Mine came with and has single pistons on the rear. Thank you sir for pointing out my err ;)
