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

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

2 and 6 for the fixed calipers

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

skorpioskorpio 10-08-2013 10:33 AM

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.

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

1.25

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.

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

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.

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
