I'm running a brand new blazer disc brake setup that's stock except for drilled slotted rotors that match the fronts

Wicked Mayhem · 07-04-2008, 05:30 PM

so you do have any plans on doing vette brakes on the rear or are you just going to stick with the stock size blazer brakes?

I'm keeping the blazer brakes, no sense making thing harder and more expensive than they have to be

dawgnutz · 07-04-2008, 07:22 PM

cool.

True, 90% of the braking comes from the front anyway.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-04-2008, 07:26 PM

yeah but it would be way cooler seeing vette calipers all around!

dawgnutz · 07-04-2008, 08:17 PM

True.........................

If I'm not mistaken the C5 rear brakes are just off-the-shelf PBR calipers. No fancy lettering on them or anything.

ah i didnt know that. so basically if i do the c5 setup on the front, just keep the factory rear blazer setup, but get better pads n drilled/slotted rotors to match the front?

Yepp, this is true, no lettering, and the vette rear brakes don't look that much different than the blazer rears, plus the blazer rotors have a drum brake inside that acts as the emergency brake, which I'm going to try to make work since I'm not bagged and can't lay out on a hill

Wicked Mayhem · 07-05-2008, 02:26 AM

i want to do the exact setup. i think ill get an extra set of blazer calipers and take them apart and have them powder coated to match.

I doubt this set-up would work with a 16" wheel, I believe it's 17" and bigger

greencactus3 · 07-05-2008, 07:51 PM

im curious.. how thick is that adapter bracket?

damn! I would kill to know for sure....hmm if I send you an xtreme wheel try it and send the wheel back. hahaha

Now, that kinda shitty that you are asking for a measurement that a company makes something,

Thats like asking SD for a cad file for there arms. Just wrong.

Im sorry i had to step in.

I will send you a cad file of the bracket for $50

jwood562 · 07-06-2008, 11:04 PM

Yepp, the C5 Z06 are red and look a lot better than the plain C5, but underneath the color, they're the same, also, the non-Z06 C6 calipers have a larger "Corvette" script on the front, but otherwise, use the same parts as the C5 calipers, abutment brackets, pads, shims,...ect, and are basically the same brake set-up

purplepassion · 07-07-2008, 01:10 AM

so i'll want "non Z06" then, because i dont think the red would look very good on mine

Wicked Mayhem · 07-07-2008, 01:22 AM

hmm im wondering what i want now. i didnt know that about the z06 and non z06. i think red would look fine behind my chrome wheels and pewter body?
