C6 Brakes

[72SSAbody]

I've been keeping an eye on these brakes for a while now, so maybe I've read the info in multiple threads. All I would like to know is where you bought them. It's okay yody, don't worry -- you can still be the first on the block with them. These would be for my 4th gen, and since it's winter I wouldn't be purchasing them anytime soon, not to mention I get factory stuff at dealer cost. Appreciate the info, though.

I've got the part numbers at work. If you want. PM me and I'll see if I can dig them up and forward them on. No reason not to share GM part numbers with guys/gals on here.

Thanks for all the info and feedback on something thats not even supposed to be out yet. Hey there Yody can you share that with me also mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Also 72SSAbody can you send me those part #s you were talking about. I am in the same boat as alot of you guys and bought the C5 kit for my 6/71 blown 78 Z28 cuz I really believe in Mores Law " Bigger Is Better " and I want to be able to throw someone through the windshield when I hit those puppies hard. No one has been able to get that $100 dollar bill off my dash when I got my foot in the gas, deep in the gas, Yeah! Someday it will be rolling again as I got some work injuries that are holding me down right now, but I am collecting lots of parts so when I am ready I can keep workig til its done, well I just might never be completely done as there is always something new I just can't live without. I guess it means I'm a true Gearhead or I'm working on it, Enjoy Claude.

I was just messing with ralph. There is no release date on the brakes, latest I heard was end of december. When I get the set I ordered(on backorder) I will be happy to take pictures and lots of measurements. I can be the guinea pig. THe biggest thing about these brakes is that most guys wheels will NOT clear these things as they are super wide calipes.

Vince actually just sent me an email with them, I do appreciate the help though. Feel free to post them in here for others, or I can also do it.

i think he got the pads wrong no way it costs $800 for a full set of pads?!

P.S. if the pads are both sides the grand total comes out to $1765 shipped from gmpartsdirect a steal if you ask me!

Precision Brakes "Mr. Parker" should solve the problem with the parking brake.

Parking Brake Caliper on PB homepage

[yody]

the parking brake is inside the rear rotor, just like a C5,C6 or 4th gen. I am waiting for all the guys to buy these brakes, to find out that almost all wheels won't clear the brakes. I have also heard a lot of bad things about the design of these brakes. A lot of the interest is because of the bling of these brakes. However I still don't believe everything I have heard read about them and will still be running them, my biggest concern is the front rotor weight. I will buy the GM rotors first(only like $75 each) and later upgrade to some 2 piece rotors. ETA on some of this stuff is late december, so keep a look out

[ilovefirstgens]

Ditto with the rotors, 25 lbs is rediculous!
and as to getting them to fit ill be running c6 wheels with adapters so ill have more than enough room until i can afford some custom wheels that will clear.
for the front i was just thinking to go ahead and buy the afx spindle, having just recieved an oil pan and some brackets from the ats guys i know i will be more than happy with the spindle, their work is simply gorgeous!

I cant seem to find how to mount the rear calliper though, any tips are appreciated, and now that the car is stick i don't need an e-brake anyway! haha

Uh no, He will not be first on the block

[ilovefirstgens]

oye please dont tell me thats how they come from from gm.....

P.S. Frank did you guys give up on gpsuperstore or what?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Nope, vacation, look for a bunch of GPs this week. No, these are none engraved

[yody]

Uh no, He will not be first on the block

looks like the same pictures PBR emailed me when i inquired about them?? Well maybe you actually do have them first, too bad you paid $1,400 for just a front set of cailpers!

[4MuscleMachines]

wtf???

i didnt read all the posts about theese but why on earth would they sell them with just left rotors?

Read here for the only left rotors available issue. No right hand rotors from GM for the Z06.

[yody]

so far it hasn't been an issue, apparantely there will be no right hand rotors, so if that really bothers you, do yourself a favor and buy aftermarket rotors. However if your not a the track, it won't matter either way.

No, I promise that is not a pic from PBR, those shots are taken right here in sunny Orlando, Florida with my own little camera. And what would make you think I would pay anything for the first set of calipers! Forget it, don't answer, that is really more of a statement then a question.
