looking for rear brake caliper
Hey folks,
one of my rear brake calipers has been cracked (long story, don't ask) and I now need to source one. I didn't check GM but my shop told me they don't have them anymore. One option is to use 2 rear brake calipers from Z06 but they are different and I'm not a big fan of this. any recommendation on where to find a Z28 rear brake caliper?

Hawks has two salvage Z with only 8k, and 14k miles on it, give them a call they might have one available.

however the corvette calipers are not the same as the z/28 as the z/28 ones have larger pumps

Definitely double check this. I was under the assumption that ZR1 front calipers were the same as the Z28's and found out the expensive way, that they are not. The mounting earlobes are different and the hole for the brake hose is in the different spot. So I'm curious if the rears are similar or totally different. |

I was under the assumption that Z brakes came from C7. Guess not...

I'd like to see a rear option, I recently got my hands on a set of Z28 front calipers and would prefer a rear upgrade to match, but rear Z28 calipers don't really exist. |

I won’t waste my time checking. If I ever get to my complete set of Z28 Rotors, pads, and calipers from being buried in the back of my shop I will post back but don’t see me being able to any time soon. Good luck to all finding what the need. Last edited by CAMARO_HEAVEN; 04-12-2024 at 12:52 PM. Reason: Completed thought |

Here is food for thought the Z06 with the Z07 package has the same size rotors granted the hats will not work but rotor size is the same so calipers might be also. Have not verified and will not as I will not be responsible for someone buying and it not working. Here is a screen shot for Chevrolet.
