Well i think you should put the whole sticker on and remove the corvett logo piston as well so because your gonna power coat it any so just take it off
I have yet to see any one do a video of the improved stopping distance of the big brake upgrade on their cars. From say 70 mph to 0 and the distance it takes to stop compared to the original smaller brakes that came on their car. I think it would be very helpful to know if your stopping 20-100 ft shorter distance with the bigger brakes
I’m sure there is a big difference. It’s better than that single piston. You know that feeling of I’m stepping on the brake and why is it taking so long to slow down. Lol
@@pablosbuickgarage I'm sure the 14inch brakes look mighty impressive. I'm on a tiny budget. My big brake kit is from a 2004 firebird with the ws6 option package 12 inch frt 11inch rear disc brakes. I have a couple different wheel choices to choose from. C5 staggered Vette wheels or Riddler 606 18 inch staggered wheels for my 86 442. Thank you for your video. And fast reply
Thank you for answering! I just have one more question, if you don't mind, and that is what year and what make and model of proportional valve would I use?
I would rather keep the blazer calipers from the U.S 1998 to 03 and not have to spend over a hundred bucks on brake pads but i do want to upgrade to the c4 14 inch rotors but it looks like ill have to fabricate my own brackets
Wilwood. It will cost you but worth it. It’s hard to find these brakes now and if you do they want good money for them. You can do the whole set up just buy willwood calipers for corvette z06 2013
@@michalsuchomski5863 I went with the 6 piston also. I also bought the wilwood single piston electric e brake. But vette uses a 4 position set up which you could also buy from wilwood. So it matches the front if you decide to go with wilwood
Thanks for the answer....I was looking for the same calipers on the summit page but it just appeared the wildwood brand and those are more expensive, I wonder if there are the same you used...
Pablo The factory wheel studs are too short for Your wheel or Any wheel? Why do they need to be changed? Does the larger caliper necessitate that you change the studs?
Yes, because of the bigger calipers now I need a higher offset of a wheel and depending on the wheel wether 1 piece or 3 piece might need a spacer. The factory blazer spindles bolts are just way too short
At what point? The frame run or the caliper to the frame? For the caliper to the frame I ordered it from kore3 the make the conversion for that. And the frame runs I ran teflon brake lines
I like the sticker with the caliber pistons but the line look a little thicker than the ones on thier now. Maybe it looks like that because its white. Maybe make those black and keep the turbo white. Either way i like what you got going. I did the same upgrade on my el camino but no vette brakes.
Justin I have the 2002 blazer set up in front and the gn axle. He doesn’t really have part numbers you have to email him with what you have front and rear and he will tell you what you need. His name is Tobin. Really cool guy. I’m running 2013 z06 6 pistons front and rear. Sorry for the delayed response.
Unfortunately No not on the brakes. I have been working on the rear end. But that’s where I stopped. I bought a new toy and had to fix that up. I am back on the gn. So I will be making videos soon
Oh ok nice setup... I might use the same setup for my SS Montecarlo... Im using my rebuilt 7.5 rearend with moser axles right now with the Detroit truetrac posi, so hopefully these calipers will fit & work with it..
The calipers are discontinued your going to have to go to junk yard or a corvette forum. It took me 1 1/2 to find the other 3 calipers to finish my brakes. Give me a day and I’ll get you the part numbers for the brackets
172-2553 is a starting point. Go up or down on the last 2 digits and it will change the color of the caliper or be left or right. Your going to have a hard time finding any of them on eBay or roc auto it’s a discontinued part so your best luck is a vette forum or junkyard
So here is the trick part. The part numbers start with 172- The one I have in my hand is part number 172-2553 that will be for the front left in grey the passenger side is 172-2552. For a different color you have to go up or down on the last 2 digits.(172-2557) but at this time good luck finding these calipers as they are discounted since COVID. You’ll find better luck at a junk yard. I’ve been trying to get 2 more caliper with no luck. And the used ones are double the cost.

What kind of bracket are you running for the rear brake setup
@denalilyfe kore 3 they make brackets for front and rear.
Do you have to change the master cylinder when you upgrade the brakes? Do you need a bigger one?
@garyruth79 no you have to change the proportion valve .
Thank you for answering! I just have one more question, if you don't mind, and that is what year and what make and model of proportional valve would I use?
Got to willwood website and get the right one for your application. I’m going with all willwood master cylinder and prop valve.
Wow I can’t wait to see it on the car
Do you have to use the shims on the stock blazer caliper
I’m getting that same gap with o ring on the hub but it sits flush when I remove it

Yes, because of the bigger calipers now I need a higher offset of a wheel and depending on the wheel wether 1 piece or 3 piece might need a spacer. The factory blazer spindles bolts are just way too short
Also the arp bolts are way stronger
Got it. Thanks for the reply
I'm trying to do this as well what brake hose did you use?
At what point? The frame run or the caliper to the frame? For the caliper to the frame I ordered it from kore3 the make the conversion for that. And the frame runs I ran teflon brake lines
Keep the roaders
Nice setup, whats the part# or info on the hubs?
It is 99-2001 blazer 2wheel drive spindle. I don’t remember the part number. Just make sure it is a 2 wheel drive spindle
Hi Pablo. Its possible to install 4 pistons calipers instead with the Kore3 bracket?
Yes
I like the sticker with the caliber pistons but the line look a little thicker than the ones on thier now. Maybe it looks like that because its white. Maybe make those black and keep the turbo white. Either way i like what you got going. I did the same upgrade on my el camino but no vette brakes.

Great video I have the Gnx replica 16” I wonder if this setup will fit.
What size wheel are you using for this setup?
I don’t think those will fit. You need a high offset wheel like the corvette. You also need a 19” wheel
Ok thanks bro
I need to find a upgrade from the stock setup for the rims I have.
You can use the stock blazer set up instead of putting the kore3 bracket and vette rotor use the blazer.
Nice video just came across your page what you set up you did for your rear end

Thanks alot

Are the corvette calipers base or Z06, or Z51 or does it matter?
I based mines in the 2013 z06. I think the z51 came out with the 4 piston calipers in front

No it doesn’t. You gotta piece it together
Hey what size wheels do you have to use?
The smallest wheel you can go with is 19”
Will this set up work on my 78 regal? And I have 20" us mags c10s will I need spacers?
Yes it should. You will need spacers the caliper is 2.5” thick from where the wheel sits on the rotor. So it’s basically a high offset like the vette
I double checked this will work fro 78-88 g body’s
Thanks for your help putting together shopping list now.
