Any chance of a view of the three calipers from the inboard sides? (calipers flipped 180 degrees from photo above).

The new caliper is a very nice looking piece, rigid construction from what I can see. Long legs to accommodate that monster rotor diameter. Damn good pron for this car guy.

I haven't seen the rear calipers yet but I would guess they would be the same.
A picture like this?

No the hats are different as the Vette STILL uses the old bolt pattern and has not switched to the metric system, plus the hub diameter is larger on the Corvette (I think).

How did you get a hold of z28 calipers

gblaue · 12-04-2013, 05:55 PM

The rotors are almost 1" bigger in diameter.

I guess Racing Brake could make new hats then we would be in business.

I got the other caliper in today, but it was damaged in shipment to us so it will go back.

GM is back to their old ways with calipers and just tossing them into a box with no packaging. :(

So have you seen what else you will need for the complete conversion? Are the calipers going to bolt up?

The calipers "should" bolt on to the stock knuckles just fine. You would just need, calipers, rotors, and pads.

But until someone tries we won't know 100%
