Any value to J55 parts? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

92whiteZ · 10-15-2013

Upgraded my stock calipers (front & rear), pads, brake lines and rotors. They only had 18k miles on them. tons of life left in them.

Debating if there is any value in selling. Presume it would only be to someone who wanted to NCRS their car for a 92 model year.

Feels wasteful to toss them out but I don't see any reason to keep them.

Do the C4 people out there even buy stuff like this or do they all go for C5/C6 parts instead?

thx

Upgraded my front brakes to C5 last year and was able to sell my J55 on the corvette forum for $160. Regular C4 owners are interested in the J55 set up.
Good luck

If you decide you are going to toss them, I will send you a label for them and just ship them to me.. (in case I ever go back to stock)

Sam, I have 4 rotors with less than 2k miles. I am interested in your front calipers if you want to sell them.

I have first dibs on your calipers, rotors and brackets when you want to switch over.

J55=Money, JL9 peeps that don't want to spend C5 brake money snatch em up

For a racer the caliper brackets can wear out. If a street type user winds up selling calipers etc as replacement parts and winds up with leftover brackets, I collect 'em. I do have one spare set but we currently race 2 C4s...

Best,
