View Full Version : Anyone have a source for C6 Z06 brakes?
For some reason these have become hard to find. Looking for all 4 corners in red, new or in newish condition.

Wilwood has a version of the Corvette caliper. Look up Wilwood SLC56

Whats up neighbor, as someone else already mentioned, corvetteforum is your best bet on a budget as a full set usually pops up once every couple of weeks and goes for ~1200 for F&R
One set still up for grabs: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c6-parts-for-sale-wanted/4438230-grand-sport-z06-calipers.html
For new you can get them from Kore3 as well: http://www.kore3.com/products.php?cat=11

Yes, they're for the standard C5/C6 rotor. That Wilwood caliper basically allows you to convert the GM/PBR slide-bolt caliper to a fixed lug mount 4-piston design which is similar to the Z06 design.
Hey guys, I wanted to pop in & thank everyone for the replies. I've been sidelined due to hurricane Laura for a bit but I will be back on this shortly.

Kore3. Tobin is awesome to deal with.
Thanks guys. For my second Hurricane eye in a month I ended up with my shop ceiling blown in amongst the typical stuff you expect from a Hurricane. Luckily I did not flood. I had the Camarillo and my foxbody way up in jack stands and covered with every blanket I had plus what I could borrow so they are unscathed.
On the brakes, my reason for wanting to use the Z06 brakes is that I have a lot of faith in OEM parts and they would be easy to source replacements for it out of town. Now it seems these calipers have been discontinued (even rock auto does not have them). Now I question if I should just go with a Wilwood setup. I love Brembo but out of my comfort zone price range for this street oriented car.

If it's a legit street car, why not just run Z51 parts?
I have a used, black, 4 corner Wilwood FNSL setup, aluminum hat 2 pc front rotors, 1 pc Centric rear rotors that I would part with.
I’m still telling myself streetcar but honestly when I feel like going to the track and if nothing else is available this car will go. And if I’m being honest I want a big nice looking brake just for appearance too. If I go wilwood I am looking at the SX6R

Donny- I just sent a PM- I'm interested in those brakes if they are still around. Jack
