GS Bake Calipers
Did the 96 GrandSport have front brake calipers that said Corvette on them if so were do you buy them, or were the ones Ive seen from the C5 brake package. :confused:

Try this link. Talk to Jeff Kopp. He is "18carfan" here on the Forum. These are all discount prices. :cheers:

Re: GS Bake Calipers (kingvet)
They are not the same as C5 calipers.
Ditto on 18carfan.
If you don't already have J55 brakes, you'll need at least rotors and mounting brakets. Depending on your year you may need other stuff. Jeff can probably get you all set up.

The C-5 ZO6 calipers are only $90 each. You have to buy adaptors but the brakes are far supeior to the GS/ZR1. The package is cheaper if you need rotors too.

Re: GS Bake Calipers (BiZ)
They larger and carry a larger pad. The C-5 rotor is larger wth more mass.
When you add up the parts to do a complete brake replacement, its cheaper with better performance.
There is a thread running about a group purchase for the adaptors.
