Several guys have been having issues with this so I thought I'd show some pic's ....... Hope this helps some of you..... :D

The hardware kit, GM p/n 18039816, comes with 3 sheet metal shims (anti-rattle shims), and 2 rubber boots. You'll need 1 kit for each wheel....



These just snap in place, they hold the pads and allow them to slide after wearing down....



Apply some high-temp grease for the boots & guide pins (GM p/n 12530697, 2 req'd per caliper)....





The NEW calipers should come with 2 small bolts.....



There's a cavity in the top (underneath) side of caliper, the third clip snaps in, only one way will work......





another close up showing the assy.......





With pads installed.....





:cheers:

Good job Eddie. :thumbs: I checked my photos and discovered that I hadn't taken any photos of my brake upgrade job. Kind of unusual for me, but it happened. :crazy:

Hey Eddie, I didnt go with the flashy Z06 setup. Wanna trade? :D I think the dull gray would look much better against all that polished aluminum suspension hardware you got. :lol:

Speaking of..... Eddie, have you tried to polish brake calipers? That would look amazing all polished up.

This is from a post back in June, prices have gone up, but not by much....

Here's the part numbers, and what I paid 4 them:
ZO6 (painted red) caliper, G.M. 88895128 & 29, I paid $81.37 each. The plain C5 caliper p/n is 12530682 & 83, should be cheaper, but they're not. ?

Rotors, A.C. Delco p/n is 177-852 & 53, I paid $53.06 each.

The anchor, or hanging bracket (caliper mount) dealer only, p/n 12455799 (both sides), I paid $27.47 each.

Guide pin (4 req'd) G.M. p/n 12530697, I paid $3.63 each.

When you buy your pads, they should come with a "hardware kit", with 4 small rubber boots as well. If not, that G.M. p/n is 18039816, I paid $16.47 for one........

Yes it would, the crevices would have to be done with a dremal tool, but do-able....... Interesting!!!!!!!
