C6 Z06 brake upgrade - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZZZZZR1 · 08-05-2012

Wow....

After spending a day with ZR-1 brothers in Virginia, we installed a few items:

32mm sway bar
new A arms (with new bushings / ball joints) *polished up too!!
new front hubs

C6 Z06 calipers / 1 piece ceramic brake pads / stock Z06 rotors

There is a huge difference, even with Ceramic pads!

Going to install the rear brake calipers / rotors in the coming week. (can't wait!!!)

Thanks to Yun, Gibby, Mark, Matthew ***(new to most), Paul, Mike **(new), Glen and especialy Rich for hosting this!!!!!

Lots of pictures and will document the C6 Z06 brake upgrade for the newsletter.

You do need larger wheels in order to accomodate the large 6 piston front calipers and 4 piston rear.... WORTH IT!

For asthetics and stopping power

Here is a teaser
