ya anything is possible im doing the c5 set up which is the same as the c6 (non zo6) its not to hard so far. i got my parts of a donor car for a great price, also tobin at kore3 can help u out alot weather its a whole kit u want or just the brackets.
heres a link so u can get the idea, this one is the whole kit new hubs and all but you can use you own with alil work.

nice, thats pretty good, defenetly gonna check that out a lil closer... so C5 parts have the same mountings as the C6? even the 6 piston calipers? i managed to get the calipers only, dirt cheap.....so natural i want to use em

no the 6 pistons are the zo6 set up but kore3 has the brackets i think they are around 150.00 for the front do u have the rear as well?

no the car in question was at the scrappers and some guy yanked the whole rear end out....probably for a project.... the whole body was taken off and all that was left was the chassis minus the rear back half. im looking on ebay for the rears... i think the rears are 4 pistons..

[ROEINONDUBS]

Ya the rears are four piston if u can't find the rears u can use the c5/6 single piston that's if u want also if u want a ebrake there is a few options

FYI, there are four levels of C6 Corvette brakes:

2005+ C6 Corvette - 325x32 frt/305x26 rear rotors, 2/1-piston floating calipers

2005+ C6 Z51 Perf Package - 340x32 frt/330x26 rear rotors, 2/1-piston floating calipers (Z51 specific pad abutment brackets)

2006+ C6 Z06 - 355x32 frt/340x26 rear rotors, 6/4-piston PBR monoblock calipers

2009+ C6 ZR1 - Brembo carbon/ceramics...bling, bling, baby!

The C5 and C6 Corvette knuckles are different part numbers with some minor differences but are the same from the perspective of the caliper mounting points relative to the hubs, making the brakes interchangeable with one another.

You'll like the Kore3 setup. I have the hybrid 13in system. That's C5 rotors and C6 calipers. I talked with YO since they are right up the road and they had no interest in seeing if they would fit the car with these brakes on.
