Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

This 4 Piston Brembo kit for a late model Camaro with 13.6 inch rotors is a heck of a deal. $400.00 Almost too good to be true. Curious if anyone has had any experience fitting these calipers?

Looks similar to this big brake upgrade.

Good luck on getting info from the person.... Didn't seem to want to disclose much to say the least.

They do look the same and are for the same year Camaro. He doesn’t go into what he did to mount them, tho apparently the do bolt up but required some slight modifications.

The picture that goes with that link is misleading, that is not what the kit consists of. The calipers are 4-piston, the discs are 1-piece. The calipers themselves are shared between the Camaro6 SS, C7 Z51, and some Cadillac models, just with different pad compounds and paint.

Unfortunately, the discs in that kit aren't of any use on the C4 because the centerbore is too small.

The calipers are for a 345x30mm disc, and the C7 Z51 discs will fit on the C4.

Of course a bracket would then have to be made to mount the caliper. The calipers have a 128mm spacing and on a 345mm disc the mounts are 64mm from disc centerline. The C4 caliper mounts are 130mm spacing, and ~75mm from disc centerline.

Is that price for both front brakes or just the left side?

Good question, saw that too. The pictures and description indicates a front set.

I suppose a machine shop could enlarge the center bores.

For sure, just a bit of a hassle to do that every time the discs need replacing.

The benefit there vs. the C7 Z51 discs though, is that the Camaro ones are 10mm deeper so wheel clearance to the caliper is easier since it doesn't overhang the wheel mounting surface as much.

Do you have these dimensions for C5 and C6 Z06 calipers?

For the C5 and C6, the hole spacing is 128mm, and the offset from disc centerline is 86mm.

The attached diagram shows what I mean by the offset dimension.
