Default Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

This place offers Brembo conversions. I talked to Scott via email about a kit for my 70 El Camino restomod. The problem you run into with those calipers, is that their overhang sometimes requires expensive custom wheels, to clear them. http://bigbrakeupgrade.com/

I ended up going with a C6 Z51 brake set-up, from KORE3. Tobin is a brake engineer and is a great guy to deal with. If you need Corvette or Wilwood brakes, he can help you out. Here's one C6 Z06 brake kit they sell.

Good info, thanks Clint. I’m still mulling this over. I am running C6 Grand Sport Wheels. They are 18x9.5 on the front so there is a lot of room for calipers. The Kore3 C6Z06 Kit is still $1200 with OE pads.

Jegs sells new C6Z calipers, for $299/each, but you still need pads, pins, fasteners, lines, etc. It all adds up, in a hurry.

Instead of using C6Z calipers, I'm probably going to go with Wilwood Aero6 units. A pair of those, with pads and longer brake lines, is around $900.
