Nice!

Jason, I will be talking to you about some front hubs when the time comes.

Do you have any stiffness comparisons on these calipers.

[protouring70]

Oh sweet!!!

[LeighP]

Man, those fronts are huge!

[JEFFTATE]

I like that Leigh , those Z06 calipers are hard to beat for the money .
They work real good with a Hawk , Carbotech , or Cobalt one piece pad on them ..

[TheJDMan]

Jason,
The calipers pictured have the pad alignment pins installed. Are the pins included in that price? If so that is a great deal since the pins alone are nearly $250 for a set.

[The GMR]

Yes they sure do,

They are shipped as pictured. I have been designing my own caliper for about a years or more now, prototypes will be machined very soon. The problem is that I made my caliper completely over the top.... so the investment will be substantial. We here at the GMR then started the search for a good alternative for those who want a high quality monoblock in their budget. After searching and going through just about all manufactures available we decided on these, nothing is more proven the the Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06!

I have the Corvette Z51 brake package. Would these bolt right up or would I have to change the rotors and mounting brackets?

[Rick D]

Are the stock ZO6 calipers mono block or are these different?? I see that these are made by PBR which maks the factory ones if I'm not mistaken?? I take it these will bolt up as the OE ones do?

[Bryce]

I like the simple finish on these calipers without any names or logos.....

Definately a little more user friendly for the "Ford Guy"!:)

I have seen these calipers with my own eyes and are very impressive, and YES they are mono's as these are stock ZO6 calipers. Jason told me these ARE actual C6 ZO6 calipers.....PBR makes all C6 ZO6 calipers. All these calipers begin life with the "Corvette" engraving and are shipped to GM.......the others sold (as these) get the logo milled off (for even more caliper to wheel clearance).

From what I know you are probably currently running 13.4" fronts and 13" rears rotors (Z51). The ZO6 calipers utilize 14" fronts and 13.4" rears. So you would need different rotors/caliper brackets.

EDIT:Actually....you may get away with using your same Z51 sized rotors (since both ZO6/Z51 run 32mm/26mm rotor widths) and just needing different caliper brackets? The other thing to consider would be if you are or will be running 18"+ wheels that will clear this large caliper?

F-n sick boyz!.....

[The GMR]

I have had a plethora of questions about this specific topic... and the answer is yes these calipers can run both the "pucks" and full pads! Here is a little photo shoot I did with the front 6 piston calipers.

How much do they weigh?

[The GMR]

How much do they weigh?

Rear is 8.2 pounds
Front is 9.1

Now, I have read some of your previous posts in past discussions. Please do not come in here and stir the pot so to speak. Even Tobin does not agree with some of your outrageous statements. The Brake Man is a great product, Warren is also one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen in the stopping industry as far as I'm concerned. I do support his product and would have absolutely no problem mounting his calipers on GMR front or rear hubs. With that being said, you simply cant compare what he has to these calipers, both in product style and investment. I do appreciate all your input but I do ask that you please keep it to the other threads in the Disc Brake Section.

Thanks
Jason

Whoa, calm down there guy. I only asked because it looks like you're using a different piston design, but I guess its the OEM stuff.

Id be interested to have a look at your caliper, I am 99% done with a custom kit for my car, and this is very economical by comparison. This caliper sure looks a lot better than stock ones IMO.

[baddrides]

pucks or pads nice,.....we like the variety!

[LeighP]

Could someone educate me on the advantages of the pucks vs pads? Is it a heat dispersal thing?
I've not seen this set up before.

From what I have gathered on this site as well as a few other actual "Corvette sites".... not so sure there is much any advantage to the pucks in this particular design other than you do have the option to run either (puck or 1 piece) and come to your own conclusion, which is a nice option for your own driving style/preferences. Hawk & Carbotech however have done such a nice job with the one piece (although they to offer the padlets), and given the fact they are offered in several compounds and tend to shed less dust all while adding additional pad surface, I think most prefer the 1 piece.

And to put things in perspective, if 1 piece pads are chose....these PBR front calipers even have more pad surface than the BAER 6S Mono's, WILWOOD W6's, and many other big dawgs!

And I know you will like the fact they are made in Austrailia! PBR actually sells a BBK that utilizes this same caliper design for your local "Ford Falcon" & "Holden Commodore". I wanna say these 4 wheel kits with 355mm (14") rotors are going for upwards of $4600us. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, the pucks were used for more even pad wear. I am sure you've noticed that many 6 piston calipers have cylinders that vary in size. This is done so that the pads wear evenly. The C6 ZO6 caliper has equal sized pistons, so in order for the pads to wear evenly PBR came up with the puck design. Having said all that, I have also read that uneven pad wear doesn't seem to be much of a concern even when the one piece pads are used, and as mentioned, the one piece pads increase pad area, which ultimately increases pad life. I have these on my GTO and they work quite well.

Thanks guys...appreciate the info.
Nice to see PBR (who've been making calipers longer than I've been driving cars) do well in the world market.

Could you tell me what the caliper mount offset is on these? inner mount surface to rotor center? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, we are INSANE busy here at the GMR. I have Multiple new products up my sleeve.... which I will post a few previews up tonight :)

Thanks

[ace_xp2]

Not at all! Thanks for the response.

Gonna be like Christmas.......Let's see'em boyz!
