As you can see the caliper is seriously close to hitting the wheel spokes, so a small 3mm spacer is in order. So no road test (yet).

Just simply beautiful man. Very nice.

Me, ill stick with the baers. ;)

[xXManwhoreXx]

Holy cow matt! Nice stuff man!

only 3mm wheel spacer... I had to order 1 inch spacer on mine...

tell me your feelings once the road test will be done, because I think that our master cylinders are not done to push enough fluid to fill fast enough these big brakes kit..

I have a set of corvette z06 2008 on mine... 6 pots fronts and 4 pots rears

I don't remember if the corvette had 3/16 or 1/4 brake lines...

If you don't mind how much did these cost ??

I specifically went this way because the caliper is very compact and allows me to still run 17" wheels. The calipers are forged aluminum, with machined stainless steel pistons and weigh just under 5 pounds each! I'm losing about 8 pounds of weight on each corner!
These calipers are sized to work well with a stock C5 master cylinder, which is basically what we have. I have had base C6 brakes on my car for the past 2 years, and they work fine. The C6Z06 calipers do have a much higher fluid requirement.
I'd rather not make the cost public knowledge.

[JLw7123]

wow those look awesome.

[NoSweat83]

Great job Matt! Looking forward to hearing how they perform.

[jackal2000]

Yeah I saw that 5lbs, I'm super jealous of that extremely light weight, that is a good advantage, even the rotors must be a lot lighter than mine... I suspect that mine's are filled with concrete lol...I think I'll install an adjustable prop valve

I don't know if a c6z06 master would bolt to the alero stock brake booster ??

C6Z06 rotors usually come in around 25.6 lbs.
Base C6 rotors are about 21.5 lbs.
The AP rotors with the aluminum bell are only 17.6 lbs.
I have no idea what C6Z06 calipers weigh.
I give a bit back with the brake pads. The friction puck is 20mm thick!

[jawa]

well yea thire race car brakes lol

[Redog]

Interesting looking rotors. I like :awesome:

Wear protective eyewear before you do the first hard stop :lol:

[billytheman1188]

The spacers and brackets were custom-fabricated by Gary @ Hardbar USA.
I supplied him with a hub/knuckle for mock-up.

[WIALERO]

Sexy

Well after driving on them for a few days here on my impressions:

Tires are again a limiting factor in how fast I will be able to stop. They bite right now and very hard. Nice firm brake pedal so no worries about the stock master cylinder not being able to keep up. No fade whatsoever. These brake pads dust like crazy! And they squeak a bit.......because race car.

[sleepyalero]

Hahaha well good to hear they are nice. And ywah you'll have that sqeak. There was a guy a new with a audi s4 wagon, and had insane brakes on it and it sounds like a freight train stopping, nothing he can do about it either.
