Default C4 Calipers

I am sure this subject has been brought up but when I search all kinds of stuff comes up except brake calipers :/

So, I need a source for 1985 C4 brake calipers with brackets, front and rear. Suggestions with experience? Thanks!

I'd go to a junkyard or corvette-centric junkyard/dealer.

But Ecklers or Partsgeek probably also has them.

Could try car-part for local yards. It has served me well in a pinch.

I have a Rotor to rotor Dana 36 with calipers on it for the rear . Nothing on the front . PM me if your interested . I can send you a picture .
hope this helps or you find the correct F&B . I would think you could find a new set pretty easily on the inter web . I would start with Amazon ,summit , Jegs, and believe it or not Walmart has an extensive only auto parts ( corvette) line up . Mostly 3rd party venders . But they will shock you sometimes on what they carry . Of course Eklers has them $$$$$$ , zip corvette is a good vender . I am not a fan of corvette mods !
Happy hunting ,
GOD bless ,
Robert
