Default FS:13" J55/ZR1 front brakes

FS: 13" front brakes off my 91. J55 brake option or ZR1 or Z07 which that is what they were on my car.This is everything, PBR calipers, rotors, pads around 75%, and caliper brackets. The pads were replaced about 5000 miles ago, but everything else has about 50,000 miles on them. I did have to grind the fins off the caliper to clear the wheels (skinnies) so that may bother some people. And I can't say if the calipers are the same on 12 and 13" brakes for these cars. Maybe somebody can chime in and tell us if all the calipers are the same. But the calipers work perfect, they just aren't as pretty as untouched cailpers. This would be a nice upgrade for guys that have the standard 12" brakes on the front. And they stopped me great going 136mph thru the quarter mile. I bought some light weight drag brakes for the car.

Thanks, Jim Barth

they are different and you can tell quite easily. the calipers for the 13 inch rotors will need the correct brackets to mount them as well.

where these calipers are rounded (J55 calipers) the 12 inch calipers are straight across in this area. Hope that helps.




here are the 12" calipers

I guess I forgot to mention $150 plus shipping

And these calipers are unique to the 13" brake set up.
