Can someone recommend a company to buy brake calipers for my 2014 Black corvette?

 

Instead of caliper covers, maybe look into changing the color with either G2 caliper paint or powder coating them. The base stingray comes with fixed 4-piston front and rear Brembo calipers, no reason to hide them, they are beautiful.

 

I agree, a properly color coordinated calipers adds to the overall beauty of the C7 IMO, not distracts.

 

I think alot of guys here will agree that caliper covers always seem to look "cheap". May I suggest either having them painted or even better yet powder coated. I know this is a C6 caliper, but I paid to have my calipers powder coated and I can not tell you how amazing they look now... Now the cost to do what I did below was about $900 but that included all new parts and rebuild.



If you dont want to spend that much, you can get a shaker can of paint (as I did for my C5) and spray them yourself...came out "nice" but nothing compared to the powder coating.

 

They are your cars Jewelry.Wrong color? Paint them.To dirty,to fast?Change the pads.You have options.

Just my personal opinion, but caliper covers just do not look good at all on any car. If you want the calipers to stand out and look great, powder coating or caliper paint is the way to go.

But if you really want caliper covers, just about any major aftermarket parts company should have them.

 

I'd lean towards the power coat route as brake fluid is paint's worst enemy.

No offense but calipers covers are ones of those joke mods - don’t ruin your car with that junk. VHT makes high temp brake caliper paint, a quick spray job and they will look good enough from normal viewing distance.

 

There is also a fair amount of discussion by those that had them that they hamper the systems ability to cool the OEM calipers ....get them powder coated, its worth the $$

 

Agree with the majority get them powder coated.

 

I'll post my usual reply about caliper covers: The problem with caliper covers is they look like caliper covers. You drive a Corvette so don't cheapen the look of your car with fake covers. You're not fooling anyone. Painting your calipers is as easy as 1-2-3
If you know how to jack up your car and remove a wheel, then you too can paint your own calipers. If you can't do that then pay someone to do it for you.

 

Or embrace the current color of your calipers. I am certain they are fine.

 

I would paint them or powder coat them.

My C4 got dinged in judging because the mufflers had metal showing through. I used butchers paper to cover everything that did not need to be painted. I put a mask on me, got under the car, which was on the ground, and used high heat paint. It lasted for over 10 years.

Take your wheels off, which you would have to do for covers, mask, and paint with high heat paint. Then touch up the lettering and it should look Sano! Just a thought.

 

I just had my 2016 Z51 calipers powder coated and the down side to that is that Brembo offers NO information on torque specs for putting the calipers back together and clearly states not to split them. So of course I had them split to protect the "o" ring on the oil passage from the powder coating heat process. Brembo sells the piston "o" ring and dust cover but not the internal "o" ring. I went to Rock Auto for the rebuild kits and they had the non Z51 kits and also the "high performance" kits which I thought were the Z51 parts. WRONG! While the rear calipers on the Z51 and Stingray are the same the fronts are specific to Brembo Z51 and have a rebuild kit GM part # of GM 13591602 which Rock Auto carries. When I received the GM front rebuild kits the dust covers had Brembo cast into the rubber. The incorrect AC Delco rebuild kits I bought included the internal "o" rings that Brembo doesn't, go figure! On my initial order from Rock Auto I ordered Raybestos rear rebuild kits because they were out of the ACD kits, they worked just fine. So if you're powder coating and want to protect the internal "o" ring be very careful in splitting the calipers and SAVE the "O" ring! I believe my mechanic torqued the calipers back together at 100 foot pounds. My Vette is a 2016 in Long Beach Red and I used Prismatic Powder in Illusion Cherry and they look SPECTACULAR! Hope this helped,,,, Ron

 

I understand your idea not to subject the "o" ring to the heat of the powder coating process but I think you over thought the protection. Most powder coating processes never go above 350 degrees and that is much lower than what a caliper can reach with heavy track braking.

The general vibe I've heard over the years are that caliper covers are a no-no....

Just painted the calipers on my other car yesterday. Easy process, great results. I used VHT High temp paint and clear. I've never had issues with their product.
Worth a shot for $20-30 and you can just have them powder coated if you're unhappy.
