Brake options
 
Now that I may be getting some 5 spokes, what are my options for brake upgrades, best bang for the buck and stay under $1000 for calipers, lines, drilled and slotted rotors, etc, whatever I need?

GS, C5, C6? Would anything fit with sawblades, if not I may sell to fund these. Polished with Vredesteins about 5k on them, anyone interested in the long term?

I believe GS calipers will fit with Sawblades.....

You can do the upgrade for alot less than you expect. I spent under $700 for everything (rotors / calipers / ss lines / pads) Depending on if you want the calipers powdercoated (mine were).

Get a used set of C6 calipers($150, get JeffVettes adapters($100), ss lines ($100), pads ($120), rotors $250 depending and misc bolts needed ($50). That's aprox what you will spend!

GS upgrade would be much cheaper.... But the look of the C5 / C6 is much better and stronger brake too. :cheers:

Will C6 Z51 Brakes fit under the standard A-Mold on a 94, or do you need an 18" wheel...sorry to hijack. :cheers:

C5 / C6 will fit and I believe C6 Z51 are identical in size too....

So yes, they will fit :cheers:

The C5 brakes are a great upgrade. Find Jeffvette he may have an extra set of adapters. Some of the things that are needed are the C5 adapters, C5 calipers and rotors.

I'd go with some Big Reds (PORSCHE)

Jeff can probably hook you up. Your rotors and other goodies would have to come later though because your budget would be blown on these calipers.

Porsche calipers on a Vette?

My car would spit those out like an Autolite spark plug! :lolg:

Sure, just powder coat them over the porsche logo and your Vette won't know. Good bang for the buck $$ and they are Brembos.

JeffVette has them on his ZR-1 - look and perform great.

Thought they were 14 inch rotors on C6 ?? Might be thinking of C-6/Z06. 14 inch won't fit.

Here is a new one...how much modification would be required to get those new Carbon Ceramic Brakes brakes of the new ZR1 on a 94. Assuming I had all the money I needed. Which I'm sure I dont presently.
