Default What calipers are these?
I purchased my Vette a while back and it came with these calipers.

Pic in link:

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/4008247523.html

They appear dry, never installed. What calipers are they? Z06, stock coupe, something else? I have no intentions of using them- happy with whats on there. What should I ask $$$$wise for them so I can buy more Vette parts?

Thanks!

Jim

They look like standard C5 calipers to me with a paint job.

They are most likely front C5 calipers painted red, Just so you know all C5 had the same calipers, Just the Z was red.

Ok- we narrowed it down- it is a Corvette caliper!!! C5, C6, C9!

I will look closer and see if there are any numbers on it. Maybe that will tell me something.

Thanks guys!

The real Z06 calipers were powder coated red, not painted. Other than that, they are identical to all other C-5 calipers.

C6 base calipers with an awful rattle-can paint job. I'd pass on these
