So what should lug nuts be? Are those correct for the calipers?

My Z/28 diff cooler states 122 lb.ft regardless of the model year, which sounds good to me. As far as I know, some cars' manual stated 140 lb.ft, while others' stated 122 lb.ft, depending on the color of the lug nut's cone (blue v.s. yellow?).

Long story short, GM has over-complicated this, and I would just do 122 lb.ft regardless of what year your car is, if I were you.

Read the entire thread but need to double-check ... are these compatible on 2013 Camaro 1LE?

Are you asking if the Corvette 6-pistons are compatible on a 2013 1LE? Or which components are you asking about? I know Dropspeed put them on his first and then I ended up putting them on mine after having a brake bleeder that was leaking on one of my CTS-V calipers. So to answer more generally yes the Corvette 6 pistons are fully bolt on compatible as long as you also upgrade to the correct size rotors and get the proper brake lines.

See the thread here related to this post I made last fall. I also list the part numbers I ordered for the calipers as well as the other supporting parts part numbers.

Yes, I was asking if these would work on a 2013. By your link I see now the answer is YES. Thank you.

I had also created this matrix and current pricing from multiple sources, but have several questions (see matrix / or below in this thread):



CALIPERS
(1) Are these calipers 6 piston? Photos look like 4 piston on GM Parts Direct and I AM GM Parts.
(2) Do the calipers come with dust boots?
(3) What is the caliper bolt (front) P/N? I assume the stock SS bolts are OUT ??
(4) Is the TTY 30lbs + 90d __or__ 44lbs + 90d ?? Saw 44lbs + 90d above.
(5) Any concern running these with the stock rear calipers and rotors?
(6) Part 22833923 for 2013 Camaro V8 w/o Supercharger and W/performance package are $968.36 ea. Is that right!? Why are the corvette calipers so much less?
(7) do the calipers come with the pistons?

BRAKE LINE
(1)I’ve already put Goodridge braided SS brake lines on my 1LE. Can they be reused?
(2) If the answer to (1) is “no”, what is the actual Goodridge part number that can be used?

Thank you all in advance!

Thanks again, Nick. This link is terrific!

Hi guys ... Can someone look at my grid and questions? I totally appreciate any input you may have.

CALIPERS
(1) Are these calipers 6 piston? Photos look like 4 piston on GM Parts Direct and I AM GM Parts.

W/Z06, W/O CCB is a 6 pistons caliper, direct bolt on

(2) Do the calipers come with dust boots?

ALL GM OEM production Brembos have dust seals

(3) What is the caliper bolt (front) P/N? I assume the stock SS bolts are OUT ??

ALL Camaro 4 Pistons and 6 Piston use the same bolt. SS bolts are IN.

(4) Is the TTY 30lbs + 90d __or__ 44lbs + 90d ?? Saw 44lbs + 90d above.

GM Specs can vary, I do the higher +90....then I also reuse my bolts with red locktight so don't listen to me

(5) Any concern running these with the stock rear calipers and rotors?

NONE, These are the same casting (same fluid volume) as the CTS-V and the ZL1. Master cyl is the same on ZL1 and SS...All good

(6) Part 22833923 for 2013 Camaro V8 w/o Supercharger and W/performance package are $968.36 ea. Is that right!? Why are the corvette calipers so much less?

Marketing, brand protection, because GM pricing is all over the board, who knows...

(7) do the calipers come with the pistons?

Yes, they are only sold complete.

BRAKE LINE
(1)I’ve already put Goodridge braided SS brake lines on my 1LE. Can they be reused?

Fronts NO, Rears YES. Front lines for ZL1 (CTS-V/Vette) are longer

(2) If the answer to (1) is “no”, what is the actual Goodridge part number that can be used?

Don't know off hand...Order the Kit for a 2012+ Camaro ZL1 and it will be correct

Thank you all in advance!

You are Welcome!

Dropspeed, you rock! Thanks so much. I'm ready to go shopping!

[CrystalRedTintcoat]

Well, I went shopping. No turning back now. Wish me luck, gents. Again, thank you!

[Nick S]

Post some pics once you have it installed! The worst part is disconnecting brake lines and then having to bleed them all. All the bolt on stuff goes pretty quick actually.
