So since I have 17 A-molds so I'd need to use the C6 base caliper?
Couldn't change the wheels as well right now - unless my company is extremely generous with its christmas bonus this year ;-) (hopefully not the jelly of the month club lol)

I'd imagine if you had stick 'um wheel weights, that would present a real problem for clearance. ![]() |

The C6 caliper is the same for the base and Z51 .package. The Z06 is a completely different story. What you need is the C5 caliper abutment bracket, or the C6 base abutment bracket. C5 Z06 caliper ![]() ![]() C6 base/Z51 caliper that I refinished ![]() ![]() |

Boy, that is some close alignment. I don't think I personally would go with them (looks like a problem waiting to happen). I have the C5 calipers and don't do any track racing. They really stop just fine. I have slotted and drilled rotors and with the red trim and the wheels look pretty good. I have also painted the rear calipers red to match the front. The C5 calipers are a nice up grade and easy to install.
Dave - go with the C5's........... ![]() Then you have to paint the car WHITE and we will match!!! ![]()

Paint it white? Would that give me more clearance? ![]()

It's not the caliper that poses the issue. It's the abutment bracket. C6 caliper is better overall in looks and strength.

Sorry if I'm being a bit dumb. By the way Jeff, those calipers look sweet!
