Overall it went fairly easy. Used Kore3s brackets for the rear with thier rear hose kit. All nice stuff BTW, quick shipping and good service.

I do have a complete rear brake setup from an ls1 camaro, rotors, calipers, mounts, cables, etc if your interested. I was going to put them on the sy but might just get baers to match the front.

Tony, if you can pm me or email pics to robbiet@rogers.com would be great. Also, what you are looking to get. Truthfully, I am not ready to get these but if the price is right I may be interested.

Re: C6 ZO6 brakes and wheel project

Did you have to turn down the rear axles to fit within the rotors?

19's in back, 18's in front... are those 30-series in the rear?? Must ride pretty hard :squint:
I wonder why not 18's all around... maybe just not available in that size/color/offset?? :dunno:


Sure like the looks of those brakes! :tup:
vent looks cool too

The axles fit without any machining required, was a nice suprise.

Just talked to the owner today, he wants to lower it another inch in the rear. It already has beltech leafs too.


Carmen wanted the 18/19 combo, personal preference I guess. The tires are 265/35r18s and 315/25r19s. The rear tires were a tight squeeze on the wheels.

I'd just put some setback plates on to drop it another 3/8" and get the wheels centered in the wheelwell.

so this can be done with the c5/c6 conversion brackets?
Click to expand...

yep, but with a spacer. thats what i am doing. i bought Acehag's front and rear brackets and am having a spacer tig welded to it. not a big deal, and Way cheaper than buying some other companies brackets.

Re: C6 ZO6 brakes and wheel project

where is this spacer going. Is it to space the bracket farther out from the hub to clear the caliper from the rotor?
