Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
Boris, the Cadillac CTS-V (first gen) is the 4 pot Brembo from the first gen Z06, the same for the second gen CTS-V/Z06 6 pot. Such an awesome setup.

Re: 13" and 14" Corvette Brakes for C10's
I may be missing something but the vette calipers and cts-v are very different

VERY different... C5 Z06 Brakes - Sliding caliper brakes that are a different color from the regular C5 brakes... C6 Z06 - 6 piston calipers, but are prone to flex and the brake pads are ridiculously expensive. Some have recently come out with some single pads instead of the "padlets" that have bee used (one pad per piston). As far as I am aware there has never been a factory adaptation of a Brembo on a Corvette. Vette calipers are made by PBR of Australia. This is what a lot of the F body guys are doing with that particular caliper: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/suspen...-kit-info.html The newer adaptation has been the Camaro Brembos. As they are being produced currently thus they are easier to get your hand on a set. Way2lo2 is doing us a great service by getting decent brakes on our trucks... I can't wait to see what else he comes up with. It would be great to adapt a spindle for "modular" use like some of the car spindles that simply take a bracket and you're in business with any brake setup you can imagine. What he is offering is one step closer without going to CPP modular spindles.
