Coming Soon to a GMR near you!

[The GMR]

NOT available yet, but coming soon!


More information will be provided upon “official” release!

The Concept – Due to demand from our growing client base The GMR has been working on another option for your rear end demands! We needed something that replaces the gap between Full-Floater and Semi-Floater. Although this setup is not a full floater it is however a step above traditional flange style axles. To complement our growing OEM style line of products this rear end is perfect for the true OEM die hard fanatic!

I would like to say it was rocket science but honestly its really simple, start with a General Motors stock ZR1 upright with Z06 brake package and slap it onto a housing. Remove the upright and relocate the caliper, then connect the dots…. BAM! A proven and great OEM offering for your rear end!


What to look for!
Will Accept ANY C5/6 stock hub assembly, GMR suggests the 33 spline Zr1 rear hub but GMR will also tear them apart and replace the internals with ceramic bearings for those seeking the ultimate in performance.
These will fit ANY housing, from 12-bolt to Ford 9 inch and up to a 3.25″ axle tube diameter.
Will accept ANY brake package designed for the rear of a C5/6 Corvette.
Retains the stock parking brake assembly and hub electronics
Will work with ANY suspension package
Can be installed by ANY GMR Builder with the TX-C6 components
Axles available in Hy-tuf and 300M for ANY gear set configuration.




Here is a PDF of the GMR9-C6 Rear End Order Form for you to review should you have any questions.

How do you plan to hold the axle in? With an axle nut like the Vette?

Hello Bad94,

Yes, this way the hub unit of choice (C5/C6/ZR1/etc.) will not have to be modified, but should ever need to be replaced, you now can grab from most any supplier and will not be married with GMR to buy replacement hubs. This OEM hub offering we felt should reap all the benefits of OEM..... and that means running down to the local parts store for hub unit replacement :idea:

One of my personal favorite benefits of the GMR kit is the ability to install on most any new rearend (although we recommend ours :)) that utilizes 3" or 3.25" axle tubes.... pretty much anything! And with the flexability of the GMR-TX sytem/builders, we have multiple locations for your convenience to get this installed correctly.

I really like this set up. GMR has been coming out with some really trick stuff.

When will the prices be let out?

Can I buy just the weld on end and bolt on spacer? Or is it going to be a complete kit?

Jason and I have only spoke of "kits" at this point, although I am not saying this will not be a possibility.

We will most likely be more adamant that GMR/TX Sytem "builders" do the installation of the ends to the housing, as this is very critical to get it right and would be very difficult without the right fixturing. So perhaps we will entertain the purchase of a housing/C6 Ends/spacer (or you supply your own housing?)....... leaving the parking brake/hub units/brakes for customers to buy at their leisure. This would perhaps allow folks to slowly build this investment in stages. Pricing is not set yet.

Cool, I know someone that has the GMR/TX Sytem. Donny (dontlifttoshift)

I would endup going with a 12 bolt.

Thanks for getting back with me.

[wiedemab]

I'll start saving my pennies today!!!!!!! Looks awesome - - - -Good to know Donny has the fixturing too.

That is great guys! Donny is the man...... very thorough!

We will post updates as we have them. Thank you for the interest!

Jason,

Are you going to be at SEMA?

[The GMR]

yes, thurs and friday I will be in the Brake Man Booth along with walking around too.

There are a few things I want to check out as well!

[cmac06]

If you have wheels already, will these affect the required offset any? Nice looking pieces...

[Jay@GMR]

Yes and no.

The new C6 Flange Ends we have pictured above would be about -.250" to -1.00" per side depending on the length of your current flange end/axle offset/rotor hat thickness, BUT we are now going to be offering a "Retro-fit Kit" that will work for folks with existing housings.

The retrofit kit will be more cost than the kit pictured above in that the weld on steel flange will be approx. 1.50" longer and will be over doubling the material cost and machine time. Again it will be quite a bit more investment, but the flip side is you can use your current housing/wheels/tires which is saving THOUSANDS!

We will be forming an interest list on this soon, so if interested please watch this thread.

Thanks, Jay

Awww, you're making me blush......

Dan, I called you. Brandon, sell that truck so you can get the Nova project rolling.

Love the concept, any chance of making this an adjustable camber setup?

[The GMR]

no, you cant camber a setup like this, if it were still attached to an upright like it is stock with a half-shaft then its not a problem. But in this application it is not possible without issues.

I'm really trying to hold out on this setup before I buy my new housing... I love the concept.

Hang in there Chris!

We are still moving forward with this. We are currently building out a GMR9 Stainless housing that we will be testing on. The vehicle testing will be a 4000#, LSX454, T-56 car that will surely give us feedback!

Thanks, Jay

[BrianP]

Any possibility of a caliper flange that would accommodate the Cadillac CTS V Brembo brakes alongside the C6 hubs?

[chevelletiger]

Are these ends still available?
I'm installing a tci engineering mustang torque arm and a 9inch

[dontlifttoshift]

No but this is. https://millerbuiltusa.com/

[chevelletiger]

Donny,the 68 mustang coupe I'm building will see mostly autox,and have a 5.3,stock with cam,or stroked 302.

Would this or floater ends be overkill, compared to ford big ends,with a tapered bearing?

I'm in the process of shortening the housing to weld the brackets

I did see these for my 12 bolt which iam going to get for the chevelle,because I've already spent alot on it so I'm all in on it.
The 68 is more budget, got the torque arm kit with ridetech coilovers for $500.00.

Thanks,Phil.

[dontlifttoshift]

Overkill due to cost for your application?.....maybe.

Overkill in general?....no. I think it is the perfect setup.

[chevelletiger]

Cool donny.

I was a conventional machinist for about 20yrs and still have access to the machine Thru my friend/old boss, worked for humans his dad out of high school.
Maybe I'll go find an old c6 front hub and machine a pair of ends.
