J55 to C6 brake upgrade

[LGAFF]

Going to see if these will clear the dymags...J55s on the right

Picked up Calipers brakes and rotors for $100

Gona paint um?

What color?

[LGAFF]

going to use VHT caliper paint, red. Painted the wife's E550 Calipers with it and once you bake it, its pretty durable.

As in a few laps around a track?

In the oven....although normal driving will cure them:cheers:

What is the weight difference?

Yun, you seem to have a lot of free time....how about getting that car on the dyno:cheers:

so do they fit Lee? My best guess, they will hit on the face but clear the barrel

[LGAFF]

will probably mount them in the spring, a 3/8 spacer is needed on Amolds, so probably the same on the dymag

[LGAFF]

What is the weight difference?

I am thinking 2lbs per side

Been real busy at work. We will get our cars on the Dyno. Been talking to Dempsey about a shop that does Dyno tune in Md.

break in miles come first ;) and for sure it's running great and looks better than a new car

If you have the wheel, why not do a C7 Z51 brake?

[secondchance]

Never mind. Question is for Lgaff.

Doubt the Dymags will work with the C7 brakes, let alone the C6

I believe the $100 buy was likely a "clincher". An easy sell if it was decided NOT to do the "whatever required".

[LGAFF]

Correct!
