Who is running c6 Z06 brakes on their c10?

I am looking to get my project some new binders and am considering the c6 Z06 setup that kore3 sells. It seems that the complete set up is less than 2500.

So if u are running these please let me know how they perform and have you had any other six piston setups that you can compare to the Z06 setup.

There are plenty of kits out there now but having the corvette logo on the red calipers would be cool to me.

Is the wilwood kit any better?

Sounds like you got it covered right there.

If I remember correctly I think I’ve read the vette and cobra use after market brakes supplied to them, such as brembo or other name brand.

Take a look in the Vendor Marketplace. Member/Vendor Way2lo2 offers several options on Corvette brakes.

These are what I hope to be running with Porterbuilt arms and dropmember. I really wanted the C4 dropmember setup, but couldn't bare the idea of cutting up my C4

For $1000 (C5 Z06), that is a sick front setup.

Re: Who is running c6 Z06 brakes on their c10?

I'm running the C5 'vette brakes up front on my '70. Amazing the difference in stopping between this and stock discs. C6 Z is a whole different animal, but still uses the same mounting. Be advised, your wheel selection will be limited due to the size of the calipers and their proximity to the spokes. I think someone around here has the GrandSport brakes, which are just silver versions of the big 6-pot Z06 brakes.

Re: Who is running c6 Z06 brakes on their c10?

Let me ask, Will his C6 setup work on 24' wheels with 8.25' backspacing (Please correct me if I put the wrong back spacing information, im trying to run a small lip in the front wheel)? Not a wheel size expert but I would like to consider this type of brake setup.

Thanks,
Simon
