to me, it's like wearing a porsche t shirt and hat when you don't actually own a porsche.

Contemplating this upgrade for the upcoming year. Would these work?

No mention of a core charge, but even so it seems like a decent price for a pair of Vette calipers.

Those are just remanufactured C5 calipers, so those are good.

Best price I've seen so far. Still researching this mod. I just a basic parts replacer kinda guy. Almost 50 pages and I have nothing for short term memory... but this looks better than over 2K for the Wilwoods. (that I want)

Those seem rather pricey for just a pair of calipers. Here's my parts list from Rockauto:

Calipers:
Centric 14162127 and 14162128

Rotors:
Centric 12661089SL and 12661089SR slotted only

Pads:
Bendix D731 CT (front) D932CT (rear)

Grand total with shipping for everything to Canada: $657.80US

No core returned either.

Hey, which ss hose kit am I supposed to get from TCE for this? The one with banjos, brackets, washers, or the one that just says "with zack fronts"?

Thanks

 

[DWSTANG67]

first option is all 4 lines for stock calipers.

second option that says complete 4 with zack fronts, are the lines for the zack big brake kit and 2 rear lines for stock calipers.

The 3 option is the fronts only for the zack kit

good to know! Glad I asked

Not everyone has the brakepads overlap with the edge of the rotor like Sully008, correct?

 

[Bradley G]

If you do bigger brakes on the
front, has anyone adjusted the bias or maybe felt like it could be
Improved on?
Great thread , hoping by the time I need brakes, I'll be in the market.
Is there any budget kit for the rear?
