We developed the C5 kit and C6 rear kit for them, we're the only ones selling their products in the US. They are very strong in Europe on the Rally curcuits.

Questions? Post up in this thread so all can see. Tim my tech will be answering most.

Calipers









Mounting hardware



355mm/14" Rotors
















C6 Z06 style 18X8.5 et 59 and 19X10 et 76, both of these I had 1/4" spacers behind and they are just barely kissing the calipers. So a 12mm Spacer appears to be the ticket with these offsets.

John, click "Credentials" in JW's post... Judging by what you have written under your Avatar, I'm sure that's not what you want to hear!

If you've done any research, you'll appreciate the significant difference of made in Taiwan versus made in China. They are a large and modern ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility and their products are popular in the European Rally circuits. When we found them they were not selling in the US nor did they have any products for the C5/6. Myself and two other CF members were instrumental in getting these made for the Corvettes. It's an excellent product at an excellent price...

The pads available from XYZ are as follows;

Supplied Sport Pads - Ceramic and Semi Metallic, Mu .46 - .53 @ 194-1,022 degrees

Race Pads - Carbon, Metal and Graphite, Mu .5 @ 482-1,472 degrees

They utilise a "standard" pad design so you can purchase the compounds of your choice. For instance the 355mm front kit uses AP CP5070D54 or FERODO FRP3077 sizes. All parts are availble for rebuild if needed as well...

Tim

I have looked into this set up, it looks like a solid company, my issue is my choice of rims. I used the template and my ccw wont clear sadly :-( I would need a spacer, and im so wide in the front im getting a spacer to borrow forma friend to see what the profile will look like with the spacers. Suggest you always use the templates on a BBK to make sure you dont have wheel isues before ordering. Otherwise, it looks like a solid kit, with many pad options available from a stand up vendor on the CF :-)

PM me for the templates on the rotor sizes you would be interested in.

I'm using the new C6 wheels over the 355mm front and rear and needed a 12mm spacer up front and a 13mm/1/2" spacer in the rear, with the offsets of the newer C6 wheels it actually brought the wheels out nicely and not out of the wheel well, just perfect...

A little homework will go a LONG way here!
