How to Change the Front & Rear Brakes on the C8 Corvette (VIDEO)

Check out this step by step video on how to change your brakes, (front and rear brake pads) on the C8 Corvette.

Per AB’s Garage video description of the C8 Brake Pad Change

In this video we do a front brake pad change on a 2020 C8 Corvette with the Z51 performance package. The new mid engine platform has brought the Corvette to the next level but from my experience working on this current generation, they are still relatively easy to service. That being said, hopefully you find this video still very helpful!

Also, here is another video by Paragon Performance where we purchased our Girodisc Rotors and Carbotech 1521 brake pads for low brake dust.

Per their C8 Brake pad change video description:

The Carbotech 1521 is a very low dusting and low noise compound that we highly recommend you change out if you like to keep your car clean and improve your braking.

How to Change Brake Pads on a C8 Corvette

The 2020 C8 Corvette includes a laundry list of firsts–including eBoost brakes. In this video, we provide an overview of the C8 Corvette braking system and then show you how to change the brake pads when the time comes.

It’s a little bit different than maintaining a traditional brake system, so there are certain tools you’ll need and a specific order to follow. The C8 eBoost, or brake-by-wire, system offers some distinct advantages. Specifically, the system allows you to adjust the brakes, depending on what driving mode you’re using.

Our C8 Corvette has already seen significant track and Autocross time, so we’re ready to swap in a new set of pads.

C8 Corvette – I lowered it and now Corvette engineers will hate me!!!

Check out this video by YouTuber DeeperImage Automotive (AtlC8Corvette on Instagram) and how he lowers his C8 Corvette with a front lift with collars from Paragon Performance

Per his video on lowering the C8 Corvette

In today’s episode I lower my 2020 C8 Corvette using the Paragon Front Lift Lowering collars. It was not the hardest job but it was very time consuming and it took me nearly 6 hours in-between two days.

The hardest part was removing the nut on top of the shock as it had rusted out. I even broke the little magride connecting pins which I was able to solder back on. I would highly recommend some PB Blaster first a day before you do the work.

Also, you will need to bleed the front lift suspension or you will get errors. Overall I am very pleased with the final look once the springs settled back after driving. Looks and handles perfect!
