      Brembo brakes on CPP C5 drop knuckle- bigbrakeupgrade.com

      A little more involved than a bolt on bracket but the Brembo mounts correctly placed on this knuckle can be done with just a few mods- (C7 Z-51's shown) Front steer 64-72 A bodies applications

      Very interesting. Do the caliper mounts cast into the CPP spindles get cut off?

      I don't see this style on the bigbrakeupgrade website. Is it new?

      Yes it`s new, the original ears are cut off and some milling to the spindle and steer arm allow the bracket to fit, check for this set up in the 64-72 AFX section of the website

      I found it just after I posted my reply. That's a great combination. All new parts, taller drop spindle, robust unit bearings, modular steering arms, and utilizing factory Brembos which are both good and cheap rather than being stuck with C5-based options which are either expensive or old tech.

      You are correct, its getting hard to find any C6 Z06 calipers but you can find loads of CTS-V`s, ZL-1`s or C7 Z06`ers That unit bearing option opens up two bolt patterns and two pilot hole options, even C8 brakes would fit this plus wheel fitment isn't an issue with dust caps and all- I`m going to check out rear steer arms (F and X body) to see if they will work on this next.
