Hey guy's. Where can I find brake caliper kits for my C5 with red calipers with the word corvette on them. I want a good quality product. Price is not a problem.
I am not aware of any aftermarket caliper manufacturer making any with Corvette on the caliper.
Two easiest options are 1: to purchase C5 Z06 calipers. They are the same as regular C5 calipers except they have a powder coated red finish. Or 2: just paint your calipers with red high temp paint such as G2. To get Corvette to contrast with the paint color, just paint the whole caliper (don't try trimming around the lettering), and then when the paint is good and dry, use a razor blade to scrape the paint off the lettering.
You could also have your calipers powder coated although the cost would be more than painting the calipers yourself.
As others have said, the easiest option is to have your stock calipers powder coated. If you actually want increased braking performance with calipers that say Corvette, the other option would be to upgrade to C6 Z06 brakes. However, these will not fit under the stock C5 rims. As a side note, if you want the best braking performance that DOES fit under the stock rims, Wilwood makes a 6 piston set that fits. It comes with red or black calipers, but will say Wilwood, not Corvette on them.
I have red powder coated calipers that I bought from @TPSMak I am upgrading to C6Z calipers (also bought from Mike) . I was going to send my old C5 back to him for a credit but if you are interested in a used set let me know. They have about 15k miles on them.
If your looking for a great looking set of calipers take a look at our TPS Motorsports c5 rebuilt & powder coated calipers. For $339 shipped you get a set of calipers & brackets
