Thats cool! I have the calipers and rotors. When you get a chance shot me a cost on your spindles, hubs and brackets.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

To the guys who want to source their own c5 or c6 parts. I supply the drop spindle, 4.75" bolt pattern hubs with bearings, seal, dust caps, and screw in 7/16" wheel studs, along with a bolt on mounting bracket for $600+shipping. You will need the rotors and loaded calipers to finish off the kit. I've seen take off vette parts as cheap as $100 on craigslist and swap meets

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Will the hubs work on the 04 trucks . If not do you have a 5lug kit for the 99-04 truck

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

99 and up have a one piece hub and bearing assembly unlike the earlier trucks so no they wont work but I'm pretty sure I can redrill your hubs for a 5 bolt pattern

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

How much?

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

OK, so if I'm starting from scratch and want 4 corner 13" brakes with single piston sliding caliper brakes with parking brake and the goal of easy service on the brakes, what can you do? I'd prefer to use something like SPP diamond slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads. I think I'll get better pad area out of single piston sliders than some multi piston caliper, and I don't like drilled rotors, they tend to crack when you run them hard and eventually they look crappy anyway. I'm OK with going to 5 on 4 3/4" and changing out the rear axles to do that if it makes it easier to do off the shelf replacement parts in the future.

I'm planning out a project right now and want to do this all at once, I'm probably going to be using a Porterbuilt dropmember front with coilovers. Looking to do probably a 3" drop front and 4" or 5" in the rear.. I'm not just looking for brakes that look good behind wheels, I plan on using them and using them hard. Oh, project is a 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy and 18" wheels BTW, also want to stuff 295/45/18s on all 4 corners so I'm probably going to have to play around with backspacing to get everything to clear. Since these trucks lack a locking column I also plan to relocate the parking brake to inside of a Tuffy center console using a Lokar hand parking brake though I don't think that matters much.

Way2lo2 sounds like you could supply such a requirement, no?

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I've got nothing in a 13" single piston sorry

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

So what are the sliders in the first post, dual piston?

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

2 and 6 for the fixed calipers

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

2 piston sliding or 6 piston fixed, correct?

Just looking for a good braking solution that if I decide to service brakes I can order parts on Monday and be doing them by Sunday without having to worry whether a single supplier has the parts in stock at the time.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

yes, thats correct the standard c5/c6 stuff is on the shelf in 99.9 percent of autoparts stores today, so you should be able to buy parts sunday and service brakes sunday, not sure about the hawk stuff but believe it shouldn't be that hard to come by as it fits 1997-2016, over 15 year span of the same parts used

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Hi, Can this be used on the CPP Modular drop spindles? They are made for a bolt on bracket for the caliper. I need to keep my front end narrow for fender clearance. If so how much for the 13" 6 lug.

Thanks Tony

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I have not tested them on any spindles but our modified McGaughys.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Did you ever come up with anything for the 2004-07 Cadillac CTSV Brembo caliper? (which is the same front and rear as the current Camaro is using) So much nicer than that sliding vette 2 piston.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

If someone wants to send their caddy parts, I'll do the R&D for free if they buy the spindles,brackets and hubs, about $600

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

If I end up with a set of the CTS-V brakes, I would love to send them to you for a mock up. Otherwise I will likely be buying your C5 setup sans calipers. I love this setup.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I have a pair of the new Camaro Calipers. If these will work, let's make them go.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I'm sure we can make something work if you want to send one up

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

The camaro calipers are the same as the Cadillac ones, right? Send me the address where they need to go and I will get it out this week.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

If you make the 2004-07 CTSV front 4 piston calipers work (which are the same as the Camaro SS) then the 2009-13 CTSV 6 pistion calipers will also work.
Only change is a larger (14mm) mounting bolt.
The Cadillac uses a 14" rotor that is thicker than the corvette.
I have a set of cadillac rotors if you need or want any measurements

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Im sure youve answered this somewhere on here but what can you do for a 13 inch 6 lug set up? redrill the rotors i assume but what about the hubs?

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Do remember that it takes at least a 17" wheel and maybe even 18" to clear a 13" rotor and caliper, so if you are thinking 6 lug to still use stock wheels, that isn't going to happen. I have 13.5" Z51 Corvette brakes and they clear my 18s by not much more than 1/8th of an inch.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I'll have to check the pad on the rotor but I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Ive got the clearance I think

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

id like the cts/camaro set up if ever get it

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Are these spindles the for the 1" rotor or the 1.25" rotor??

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

1.25

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Could the bracket caliper mounting holes be moved out 1/2 inch. That should be enough run a 355mm rotor with a c6 2 piston caliper. Another company does it and calls it 355 hybrid kit for 4th gen f bodys. I think the rotor offset on 325mm and 355mm rotors are the same. Just a thought I have a set of zo6 wheels 18x9.5 so bigger brakes the better.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Okay so how much would one of these kits cost me in a 6x5.5 complete and how much would it be if i buy the calipers in the 14" z06 style for the front of my 69 c10 thanks in advance, leo

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I'm just curious why you would go to all the effort of converting to an already expensive to maintain multi pad stationary caliper Z06 brake system and cripple yourself with custom drilled rotors?

In the long run it would be cheaper to just convert to the 5x4.75 bolt circle.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Your right but there's an explanation to that and that is that I already have the rear wilwood brake kit and the raceline wheels 20x12 and 20x8.5 in the front so I already spent some money on the wheels etc so I would have to sell everything and more than likely lose money I thought it was doable cause like on the nbs trucks (ss ) etc they use these z06 corvette calipers with a bear 15" rotor and has the same 6x5.5 bolt pattern as my 69 c10 and my 06 silverado I'll try to find a link so you can see what I'm talking about. Thanks, leo

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Yea, rotors are a consumable part was my point. Axles, hubs, wheels you buy once and it is what it is, rotors you'll need to have them drilled every time you need to replace them as part of routine maintenance and those heavy 20" wheels will make that more frequent.

Personally for me, this is the reason I went with Z51 brakes, far cheaper to deal with from a maintenance stand point and other than hard track use will function nearly as well, especially if you factor in that Z51s will let you run lighter 18s (barely) and Z06s push you into a heavier 19" wheel. Then again I run my brakes hard and run slotted rotors which if you want them to bite well are really doing a total brake job with rotors every, or at least every other, time you do them.

DBS slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads will run you about $400 or so to change out, Z06s of the same type will run about $650, and Wilwood, Baer or Brembos will be closer to a grand if not over and stationary calipers with the padlets have to be done more often.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

I think I understand what your trying to say but on the rotors why would I have to get them redrilled every time they already come in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern as far as maintenance truck isn't going to be a daily driver actually it's hardly going to get used since I'm always working. Also I may be wrong but these rotors etc will last quite a while on my 06 ss clone it's got about 90k miles on it and still has the original rotors and it's always had 22s or larger wheels since day 1 when I bought it new in 06

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

http://m.summitracing.com/parts/bae-6920962
this is the passenger rotor i believe

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

Do these come in the 5x4.75 bolt pattern?

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
 

The rotors come drilled with the bolt pattern of the hubs, so 'Vette rotors are drilled for 5x4.75, any other bolt pattern requires the center to be drilled for the new bolt pattern. I suppose you wouldn't need to redrill if it's a 2 piece modular rotor, though when I looked at those for my application they were triple the price, again new hubs would be cheaper. Kore3 did custom milled hubs for me for way less than a set of 2 piece rotors with caps, bearings and seals and anodized. Not to say my brakes were cheap they weren't not by any measure, but they are cheap to maintain, for 13.5"F/13"R brakes and have integrated parking drums.

These are the type rotors I have, DBA T3 one piece:

Either side slotted, no holes.
