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.

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
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
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
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

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
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. |

Email sent. This looks like a no-brainer.

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. |
