BIG BRAKES ARE DONE

[dohc v6]

OK guys I got the rotors in today. I will be selling these for $150 + shipping if anyone wants to buy them, they are GM, brand new. I want Power Stop to match my back brakes. here you go, brackets are now in the process.

[dohc v6]

Can anyone give me the depth of the back of the stock rotor.

[BXX]

Sweet!!!!

 

Now I know you prolly posted it, but where did you order the calipers and rotors from???

[dohc v6]

Actually I was thinking about selling kits to those that wanted to buy them. I was thinking along the lines of $650 shipped for everything. That would include calipers, lines, pads,rotors,brackets,shipping,bolts,instructions,powdercaoting,ect. Would that be of interest to anyone?

[dohc v6]

Those pics dont get anyone excited?

[pwmin]

i'm excited and i think 650 would be a decent price if it's all good, but i have to sell mine.

[dohc v6]

OK,ok sounds good. I hope the rest of the people on list would chime in. For crying out loud these are 13" brakes

[GhrarhG]

If I had the money, I'd be in for a full kit. Until then I'm just in for the brackets. I'll try to piece the rest together as I get the $$$.

[blackbombshell95]

I of course won't be buying kits right off the bat. I want brackets

[MonteCarloDude]

here you go, calipers just came in, cant wait for the rotors, another 20 min or so. These fuckin calipers are HUGGGE.

good god.....

[intern8tion9l]

werd, i just want the brackets for now while this is going down. i know i can buy the rest at any point

[dohc v6]

haha, I know

[dohc v6]

I dont care if you just want the brackets or just the kits, just wanted to know where everyone was,lol. I am putting them on this weekend, and desiging the bracket. Then I will order the material and get it waterjetted. Then get the threads tapped, and of course powder is final.

Just did some research, these new brakes are bigger than the factory brakes on the new corvette.

If you plan on doing this for a little while i may be interested. I have to get some other things fixed first but these are a definate possibility.

I will be making a couple extras.

If you can get it all to work, I'm in. I got burned after I bought 2nd gen 12" brakes and they didn't fit (neither the rotor nor the caliper fit).

I know the caliper will not fit, but the rotor should slide right on. It has the same bolt pattern. Now I am just worried about the clearance, but I am almost positive it will fit. Well see this weekend.

the new vette's brakes are 13.4 in the front, and 13 in the rear....so yours technically aren't bigger. They're the SAME.

[dohc v6]

Humm, just looked at advance auto parts and the brakes are 12.7 for the vette. Maybe the zo6 has 14" brakes.

[solo intent]

OMG i just read 14 pages !!! anyways to compare the brakes on a W-body to that on a vette is a feet in itself . If you make a couple extra sets in a couple months i might look to get a set in the future here. not to sound stupid but you will deffinatly have to have aftermarket rims correct? i think it was said but that was forever ago and i don't feel like reading back into it.

I was looking at the 08 base models from http://www.corvettemuseum.com

[dohc v6]

Yeah, I was looking at 06,lol. You might not need new wheels, you might be able to just put spacers on your stcok wheels. I have no idea, i will know more this weekend.
