Cool Finally the rear Z06 brakes on a C4 =D>

Are they the Flynbye kit.

[tf95ZR1]

I didn't think Flynbye (Ed) had a rear brake adapter.
And how to set up a parking brake?

[XfireZ51]

I need to know more!! With my Z06 wheels, this would be perfect.

Jeff is correct, Street Shop made the adapters. Quality set up, it changes the e-brake set up to a c5/c6 hub style e-brake. All GM off the shelf hardware used. The only thing was I had to change my SS brake lines (needed longer) and I had to mess with the e-brake cables.
I am more than happy with the set up, I;m going to be running 19" wheels on the back so the larger brakes look right.
Tray & Andy at Street Shop are great to work with.
The adapters also passed the Phil (Jagpanzer) quality control test =D>

Ricky,

What did the Street shop 'kit' cost you? what did it include?

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Anymore cost info on this setup? I think I'd like to do the same setup.

Thinking about milling off the C6 artwork and CNCing the C5 Z06 "corvette" wording font style. Then, powder coat them the same shade of red as the C5 Z06 front calipers so they all match.

Ricky, what was the total cost of the upgrade.

Thanks

I think Dave J would be a better source for a current price. He just redone his brakes to the C6 style.
The nice thing is you can get the C6 GS rotors, Calipers for cheap. Well I guess a grand is not cheap.

[ZZZZZR1]

Here is what you need for the front / rear C6 Z06 calipers

18 inch front / 19 in rear wheels (with the right offset)

C6Z Rotors

Adapter kit for the front / rear (aprox $550) *

SS lines for the front / rear (longer than stock)

Also get Ceramic pads (1 piece hawk pads)

Ricky has a contact for rear adapters that have the emergency brake / hub and those alone are $500 plus. BUT are in billet! (RICKY BLING!)

Great addition and without Wazoo wouldn't have happened!

:cheers:

David


* no emergency brake

Thanks, Dave. I'm only doing the rears. I'll make the rear calipers look like the C5 Z06 fronts.
