Big Brakes Needed

[XfireZ51]

Did we ever finalize a status on using the CTS-V or Camaro brakes?

Need different SS lines, rotors, calipers, pads, etc etc etc.

Ask Ricky... VERY pricey!

C5 / C6 brake upgrade is the best for the $$$$$ and looks great!

Looks great, Dave.

If you just want a look, the Baer 6P looks pretty nice.

Here's my car with two-piece rotors and the 6P caliper. I had about $2k total into the brakes:



The rears are "plus" rotors, they are 13" vs 12", and come with a caliper relocation bracket. It was only $50 more (on ~$500 rotors) for the "plus" upgrade once I decided on two-piece ones.

I'll tell ya, I really miss how good that car looked...

The C6 ZO6 fronts were a staight forward set up, simple adapter. I bought the new front calipers & rotors form a forum member for $450.00 shipped from VA. (great deal) The rears I had to pay small discount retail, I beleive $600.00 cals & rotors. Hawks pads, extra as well as new SS lines. The rear hub adapter was another $600.00 + & I needed to get some new C5 e-brake cables to make it work. Once I put the fronts on I had no choice but to step up and do the rears(the caliper was to small sitting in the wheel) I am more than happy with the final result eventhough it cost me a little more coin. Like Dom I run the OEM ZO6 wheels. I will be at Carlisle on Friday morning if you want to take a look

So you run an 18" wheel? I plan to run my massive Dymag GenII's 17x11 front and 17x13 rear wheels. I think my max size rotor is a 13"??? Right????

Probably do the C5 Z06 calipers with adapters and anything else I need to make it work. It would be nice to have a parts list of everything I need to make this setup work before I go to Carlisle. Anyone have a quick list?

So far as I know, the list is:

C5/C6 Calipers
C5(C6?) Abutment Brackets
C4/C5 Adapter Brackets
C5/C6 Rotors
C5/C6 pads

Thanks

Here are C6 base base calipers powder coated red and 2 piece rotors I got from Ricky when he went the C6 Z06 route.

Phil, are you running a 17" wheel or 18"". If I run a 17" wheel, what is the largest diameter rotor I can run? 13" ???

So, can I run a C6 caliper with a 17" wheel. If so, what size rotor am I limited to running???

Thanks, Kevin. That helps tremendously.

What is the rotor size with this setup??
