The C5 brake lines but I like the ones from SSBC or earls plumbing steel braided lines. Takes the spongy brake pedal out of the equation, a better response when heated and stainless is required at most sanctioned race events.

@@savagepickle0443 I’d like to see that when you’re finished! Sounds like a great fit for a s10 platform.

@@YellowJacketGarage may need to clear a tree or two in the path. Shouldn’t have much issue I thought in your area.

@JWsGarage the antenna is clear but it's just slower than I had expected.

🙏….

Wheel specs won’t help you a bit my man, they were specifically measured and built to the car, also took over 6mos to have made.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you, Love to have ya join the chat, going to go live tonight once it cool down a bit and I don’t have to have the fans going.

Think I fixed it.

@@JWsGarage it was definitely better.😎

Nahhh!!! 😂

Surprised anyone got that far in the video but thank you.

@@JWsGarage I watch all your stuff all the way through, if I haven't commented it's because I'm probably behind on watching something but I'll get there.🤣 I kind of take notes on the stuff I still need to buy too though.

@YellowJacketGarage have to admit I’ve discovered a lot of tools etc myself on RUclips channels that I’ve needed as well. And greatly appreciated thank you 🙏.

Should it’s the same hub.

Yes totally, I have done it a few days ago.

And I can tell it works and looks great

Good to know, did you have to change the bolts to the longer caliper bolts on the C6?

@@JWsGarage I ve sticked with original ones that were on the car. I ordered new ones with the new calipers, but did not use them. I had to put a 2mm ring between hub and caliper to center the caliper on the disc and and 20mm hub centric spacers to keep my Gumby wheels, I think 2mm spacers would have sufficed but went 20mm for the look. Your video was inspiring to me. Thanks.

Unfortunately no, bare minimum is 18”.

Fit a C6 yes, same as C7 no.

Amazing the info still isn’t easily found. 👍👍👍.

I like Fuzor as well.

5X120.65

Good 👀.

This was only a front conversion.

Thank you 🙏

That was a snug top, it’s not made any longer I been on the lookout for another for some time.

Yes sir the price has come down a lot.

Very much dependence on the machine spacers you use but I would say .030 to .060

@@JWsGarage ok thanks! I appreciate the response. I was debating running Wilwood Aero 6’s but it looks like I could put this together for about half the cost (or less) with 2 piece rotors. Might even just run blanks to start to see how they are on track.

@Teal2nnr if I were going to the track I would definitely go 6 piston front 4 rear. These are good for the occasional local track day and street performance but not a dedicated race caliper with out the rears.

Welcome.

@@JWsGarage my suspension is c4 will the c5 spindle chance out to the c4 upper and lower arms

@@PeterHatch-mx7zc that I don’t know been considering adding a C4 to the garage myself to find out what is interchangeable.

@@JWsGarage I'll try to fit ctsv calipers to c4

@PeterHatch-mx7zc I think it will work.

I’d sure like to find out, I think it may.

@@JWsGarage thks for your reply

Because carbide bits don’t work on aluminum unless you have candle wax and I didn’t have a candle! It’s also more so for the at home do it yourself kinda project and I don’t expect everyone to have those sorts of tools at home even though I do.

@@JWsGarage They make plenty of car by bits for aluminum the spacing between the teeth or grooves are much wider on the aluminum versions so they don't get clogged up with the soft aluminum

@darrenporsch I did not know that.

Can’t disagree but there’s a ton of Lotus and Mercury Marine engineering in Corvettes since 1984 so 🤷‍♂️

Glad to hear it worked out for ya! How’d it fit with factory wheels or do you have aftermarket?

I have aftermarket wheels, had to used 20x10 F - and 20 x12 R-, concave style , I went with ZR1 widebody kit , @@JWsGarage

Oh !! just so you know,, calipers from c7 fit just like this Cadillac one ,,on c5- c6 - c7 . there all the same fit,, @@JWsGarage

Will it fit with c7 base corvette brembos? I think they’re the same as the Cadillac brembos

That would be interesting comparison although both these cars are heavily modified the red one having a wider stance and contact patch where as my C5 is a built competition car with the comfort of AC etc. Be interesting on a stock platform to measure the gains beyond the obvious improvement.

I used machine washers for the spacing of memory serves me correctly I believe it was a 4-5MM washer shim at each mounting point.

​@@JWsGarageok I mean the distance between each mounting hole of the same caliper

@@jcgl7058 that I don’t know but I’m sure there is a MFR engineer tech drawing online that will have that info.

​@@JWsGarageOn what page do I find that information, I want them to adapt to another vehicle and I need that information to know if it can be modified

@jcgl7058 I’d start with the mfr Brambo

C6 j55 brackets and rotors

This setup is primarily just for the guy that wants a little more front braking ability for the occasional track day, if your looking for all 4 corners I’d stick to the C6 Z06 calipers and rotors.

Thank you both for the reply. Looks like I've got some shopping to do!

@ Shred Brackets? I’m not sure which those would be.

eBay is always a solid place to look and don’t discount Amazon I believe that’s where the OE rotors came from.

I’ve seen it both ways myself, only difference I could imagine would be OE Rotors VS Aftermarket.

@@JWsGarage that makes sense.

Are you using the C5 spindle? If yes absolutely if not compare the caliper mounting spread between the bolts on the S10 spindle and look at the spread on the ATSV caliper per a tech drawing if they match all you gotta do is shim to center.

@@JWsGarage they make a bracket for s10 to c5 calipers that shims it and aligns it with c5 rotors. What’s the part number for those calipers

@@FIVE5NINE link to the parts is in one of the two videos on the brakes. It’s down in the description of the video.

There is another video on the brakes with all the info.

No, you would have less breaking surface.

Tried it! Angle wouldn’t fit, Drexel not enough torque, I was gonna use my cylinder head porting grinder but frankly it’s the scariest tool in my box and I really don’t like using it.

You will need a hub centric wheel spacer roughly 10mm the rear you use the C6 Z06 calipers and rotors so you maintain the oem parking break with 4 piston similar to the front.

C6 Z caliper 4 piston and rotor. Their pretty cheap as well seeing as everyone wants the fronts.

My black Vette has the C6 Z06 calipers same issue with wheels but I’ve had 3 piece cistom iForged wheels on the car for nearly 20 years now.

​@@JWsGarage the c6z with the nascar brakes has CCW T10's that just baaaaarely clear the calipers! I have another c6z that has a set of 3-piece iForged wheels on it, too, funny enough. I think they're called "Aero's" - 13" wide(!) in the rear, lol. Tbh, I'd almost bet they would clear the nascar calipers on the 07 z06, too. I got those long after I had already solved my brake+wheel clearance problems... but they actually seem made to allow a ton of clearance too 🤔 iForged does (/did) make a pretty quality wheel though, for sure!

I got the iForge Aeros on the black car 20x13 rear 19x11 front. I had to shave the caliper slightly on the corners for the C6 Z calipers. On track in a hard turn they would slightly touch the back of the wheel center.

Can you produce those brackets? I'm very interested

@@jw14-z4l you no longer need brackets just a machine spacer is all. You eliminate the bracket entirely.

No sir abs works off tone rings inside of each of the wheel bearings.

True that’s what’s on my black C5, but for the cost just around town driver on occasion and a track day it’s a great setup and 10x superior to the OEM fronts again at the fraction of the cost.

If it weren’t for the carbon fiber people don’t generally recognize it’s an aftermarket and it comes with good replacement lines “Gates Brand” that look oe.

@@JWsGarage it will be this one or the AFE...what doo you think??

@@scottbarker9058 I personally like both, they equally perform very well over OEM!
