... right now, the entire kit could become available for about 800 bux, we're just waiting for the final testing results on the Gen II adapter bracket. The brake parts kit supplier is already lined up.

 

I wonder if I could get in on this. Every thing but the brackets that is. I dont need brackets as I bought some from the last time he made them. It looks like hes getting a very good deal on the brake compontent.

... of course you can.

Send an email to Chris Trapp 99chevy@99chevy.com and ask for the C5/Z06 Brake Upgrade Kit. You'll need to specify which calipers you want, plain C5 or red Z06 are the same price, just different part numbers.

He'll need some form of payment method, credit card is best, but make any request in the email, as well as shipping address.

He's getting his parts dept geared up for this, as Chris does build and maintain several competition cars, both for his boss and other customers.

If you feel you aren't getting answers quick enough or have questions, you can always email me or call me (301) 466-7883.

Here's the parts list for reference:


GM Part # Qty Description

12530682 1 Right front caliper (standard C5)

Quick question Mike. Why are there different part numbers for
97-00 C5 rotors as opposed to 01-03..????

Because i have a chance to pick them up for 35 bucks the 97-00.

I dont understand how they could be different. And will they work with your brackets?

Im curious if the C5 calipers have different part numbers for those years too.

 

... I believe the 97-00 rotors had a standard GM p/n, until they where discontinued and went under the GMPP p/n. They are physically the same. They are designated by side because they have directional vanes.

Not sure on the calipers.

 

F that, I know of some better brakes locally...Serious.....For $450. Slotted rotors Nicce 2

 

??

450 just for slotted rotors?
What size diameter are the rotors?
For what application?
What about the rest of the conversion parts?

 

450 INCLUDES slotted rotors. Same size as the C5's actually if I remember correctly..Maybe bigger. I'll talk to John at the race shop and get details.

 

yes, please do.

I'm always ready for new info, on a new product.

 

Cross drilled and sotted rotors can be had with the C5 brakes as well, for about $60 dollars over the cost of the regular rotors. Although when I talked to Bob about it he said he already looked into them and for track use, all the drilled/slotted rotors are likely to do is crack sooner.

But if anyone wants the P/Ns:

88926732 Left front rotor, 97-03 Corvette, drilled and slotted
88926731 Right front rotor, 97-03 Corvette, drilled and slotted

About $115 each (as opposed to $85 each for the regular rotors) from GMPartsDirect, you guys could probably get em cheaper from your hook-up.

 

... he's right about drilled rotors cracking under severe conditions, such as track use.
As far as the complete brake kit, right now is at 500 bux for all new parts. Rotors, calipers, pads, hoses, nuts 'n bolts. Once the bracket is done, we'll finalize it's price into the equation for the entire upgrade package.

 

will the rear brakes need to upgraded? just curious. i know the front brakes do the majority of the braking but you need some rear braking too. thanks Trey

 

I'm running a C5 kit with stock LT1 rear brakes and I think it works very well. I've actually gone back to a PF street pad on the rear after the Hawk HP+ gave me some wheel hop on hard braking. I certainly am not looking at upgrading my rear brakes now.

 

awsome thanks. so were can i read more about this upgrade? particularly whats involved with the install? thanks Trey
