I want the calipers that are in the stupid $10,000+ carbon ceramic brake package but i dont need, or want the carbon ceramic disks. Are there steelies that fit these brakes? Where can i buy just the calipers?

For the price you'll pay for them, just get the AP Racing Radi-cal kit.

I can't tell if you have purchased a C7 or not. I reviewed some of your older posts and there's some indication that you have a VIN, so I guess you've already bought your car.

If you haven't bought a C7 yet, actually the Z07 package costs $7995 to add to a GS or Z06.

And in addition to the carbon ceramic brakes with the big calipers you want, you get "Z07 suspension tuning" and Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires.

Are you going to track the car? Is that why you want the Z07 suspension tuning, but not the Z07 brakes, in order to reduce the cost of consumables?

After you get the Z07 package on your car, you can swap out the carbon ceramic rotors and pads for cast iron rotors and compatible pads for less than $3000 from forum vendor Girodisc:

So....if you get a Z07, when you swap out your carbon ceramic setup, I'll give you $2500 for your low street miles Z07 rotors and pads - let me know when you put your cast iron rotors on and want to get rid of your Z07 stuff!!

If you get a GS or Z06 without the Z07 option, you can certainly buy a set of Z07 calipers and get the Girodisc cast iron rotors and pads for them. I'm sure there will be plenty of track hounds looking to buy your non-Z07 cast iron rotors and pads.

I wish i coulda swung a z07 package car but my 17' GS thats on its way to me from KY unfortunatley does not have the package. Its a 2lt with an msrp of 76k, i paid $67k, that was pretty much my max that i could swing.

I wish i could get the z07 suspension tuning too but idk if you can do that after the fact of buying the car. If you can i'd love to.

I posted this wondering where i can buy zo7 package brake calipers to put together with some steel rotors Because the carbon rotors are way too expensive. Do i need any other parts to fit z07 size discs and calipers on my NON z07 Grand Sport, or do the larger rotors and calipers bolt right up? Also the main question still remains, where can i get z07 calipers from?

The rotors you're talking about are CAST IRON!!

You can get the Z07 calipers from any GM/Chevy parts supplier - but you'll probably get your best deal through one of the forum vendors.

Here are a couple links to forum vendor Trunk Monkey (Suburban Chevy).

Here's a link to a page on their site with the front calipers - you want the ones that say "w/ceramic rotors" and then pick the color you want:

And here's the rear caliper info:

http://www.trunkmonkeyparts.com/auto...ar-brakes-scat


Looks like a pair of front ones will cost a little less than $1800, and the rear pair about $1400. I think your Girodisc cast iron rotors and pads will be something like $3000.

So...a total of maybe $6200 plus shipping.

I don't know if they will bolt right onto your car, or if some extension brackets or anything else are required.

So, you may be able to do it for around $1600-$1700 cheaper than the Z07 option. The Z07 package includes not only the carbon ceramic brakes, but also the suspension tuning, Sport Cup 2 tires, Stage 3 aerodynamics, etc. I'm glad I got the Z07.

Good luck - and post up how it all went when you're done so anybody else that wants to do the same thing will have all the info they need.

Oh....and PICTURES when you're done!!!

BTW: I just checked eBay and there's a complete set of 4 calipers for $1750. There's a small scraped area on the front ones from when the seller put wrong size wheels on it - but the scrapes look purely cosmetic.

just checked those out... damn are they nice! may go that route although they want $7k for those. smh

Don't know where you checked them out but I just purchased the Essex Designed AP Racing Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kit (Front CP9668/372mm)- C7 Corvette and it came to $5250 with tax including two sets of pads (1 track, 1 street and 3 containers of Feroda brake fluid). I didn't have to pay shipping since I live 8 miles from the vendor but shipping wouldn't add a couple K to the package.

Your car already comes with the rear calipers/rotors they recommend to run with the front kit.

I think the z07 brakes are more what i want, i want those massive calipers and rotors.
