Speaking of which. I've got some Z06 calipers sitting around that I'm not going to use. I decided to go with C4HD stuff instead. They aren't pretty, but they'd be awesome for track brakes.
Z06 caliper pics Make a reasonable offer, I can't remember what they're worth, but I've got $160 in them. This post has been edited by nape: Dec 3 2006, 09:51 PM |

They are ~$95 each new from my local dealer. Of course, knowing the parts manager helps ...

QUOTE (firehawkclone @ Dec 3 2006, 10:55 AM)  I've told you to talk to "Tony G" Scott. I know, but he didn't get back in time last time I called him, and I need brakes ASAP. Any way I wanted to try the HT-10. I give the Carbotech's a try for Febuary and hopefully March, maybe April. |

I guess I'll put them in the Classifieds now that I've remembered I have them again. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) |

I want to change to the calipers. But it will cost about as much to buy the calipers as it will to replenish my reservoir of SRF ... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

PBR Caliper and PAB kit
I bought the generic PBR caliper and pad abutment bracket kit from KORE3. It's identical to the GM/C5 stuff from PBR, but without the GM trademarks. I bought the set on sale for a great price, but I think the normal price is still better than buying the separate GM pieces. Note: I don't know anything about their C5 conversion bracket, and personally would (and did) just stick with the proven Bishop design. |

Sean, we have to run the F-Car rotors. It's just the calipers that we can change.

Do you still use the C5 PAB, or the stock fdbody PAB?
The Kore3 kit I linked is the generic C5 caliper and PAB (no conversion bracket). I don't know if they sell the generic caliper separately. I can't find it listed, but they may sell it as a replacement part by phone. Their prices on GM-branded components are no better than available elsewhere. |

I saw the plain caliper listed. Not a bad price.
If the PAB was used, we'd have to use the C5 pad. Can't do it. I know there are some "concerns" with using the C5 caliper on an F-Car rotor. But I'm gonna give it a go .... |

I don't think it's anything that can't be fixed by juggling your rear pad compound. Since most of us already do this, it shouldn't be much of an issue to fine tune it if needed. |

Remember, there is no ABS in CMC.

I'm told by my local brake guy that the Chrysler 300C uses the same C5 caliper, without the Corvette logo, so maybe that is where they are sourcing them. |

Scott,
I like the HT10 much better than the XP8. Try a few different pads and see which one works best for you. Jason S. |
