Guys looking for a bit of help as finding parts in the UK is a bit of a challenge since the last remaining uk dealer went bust

So what I would like to do is look at a few options to refresh some parts myself either OE or alternatives.

Are the ZO6 brake calipers sharing parts from any other cars that might be available in Europe? I understand the stock pads are padlets, if you go with single pads do you have to take the calliper off to change them?

If I go padlets, what are the OE makes?

Likewise for the spark plugs really?

Cheers

Brake pad you have a few manufactures. I prefer the Carbotech 1 piece pad. The caliper does not share with any other vehicle beside the GS and 427 vette.

Are you tracking the car?

Here is a step by step how to on pad replacement http://www.101corvetteprojects.com/2...rvette-c6-z06/

thanks, I'll look at the carbotech you mentioned

The car will not be tracked much but will do a few 1/4s and a few race tracks including spa and the ring. It will also be doing some autobhan sprints.

By sharing caliper with other cars I should have said shares same pads as other cars.

That link you posted is great too, I'd have thought they would have a quick release mechanism to change pads on the carriers rather than removing teh calliper?

The caliper has its issues. How many miles on your car? Unless you have a lot of miles there isn't much difference between new spark plugs and the ones in the car. I generally keep my cars 6 to 7 years and have never had a C5 or C6 with enough miles to justify changing the plugs.

time is just as important as miles though, I change the oil annually regardless of miles etc - car is an 06 with 20k on the clock - just like to make sure things are fresh
