Installed big brake calipers on the front of my c5 corvette. Lots of people have done this but I have not yet seen anyone still able to keep the 17'' wheels in the front. Installing c6 Z06 rear brake calipers on the front of the c5 will hopefully accomplish this for me. Let me know if you guys have any questions on todays video & ill be posting links for all the products below this description.

It's nice to see someone who knows how to assemble things properly... Utilizing antisieze and cleaning the rotors properly...quality job brother!
Thank you very much! 🍻
Keep the videos on the C5 coming !! This is awesome ! Just got a C5 , will follow !!
Thanks! Will do!
Hoping to get a manual C5 soon and your C5 videos are getting me excited! Great quality vids!
Any issues with the parking brake drum component of the rear c6 ZO6 rotor. I have my parts and I am ready to try this.
What was the weight difference of the calipers? Rotors? Did you ever figure out the issue with the rear? How are the fronts running now? Thx
just ordered a new set of 4 rear calipers from Rock Auto. I will be doing this swap out here in the next few weeks.
Awesome let me know how it turns out for you.
Hi JJ, were did you purchase the C6 ZO6 calipers? RockAuto doesn't carry them. Thank you. Dominic
What's wrong with the stock brakes? I did 2-piece stock sized wilwood rotors, hawk HPS pads, and SS lines, stock calipers and they're great. Back when I had nitto nt05's 200 treadwear tires on it the brakes exceeded the grip of the tires, hit the brakes too hard and the abs would kick in. Now with nt01 100 tread tires its perfect.
Oh man you got to lift in your garage My father has every tool available You could imagine but he never bought a lift. Even when he owned the shop we never had a home lift.
Couldn't use a straight fitting for the brake line hose instead of that 90° angle one and not have to grind the caliper
Car looks awesome with those calipers! I have C6 ZO6 replicas on my C5 coupe. Do you think I'll need spacers for the 18" front wheels with this set up?
No you shouldn’t they should clear them.
Can you give me some info on your steering wheel.please, Thank you
got the Calipers installed. they work great with the 17" C5 Z06 wheels up front. I was planning on going with C7 Z06 wheels but that will require longer wheel studs and a 10mm spacer. Just a heads up for anyone that is thinking of going that route. the design of the C7 wheel isn't aggressive enough coming off the hub and it hits the new caliper.
also don't use the factory size 4 small pads as you loose about 30% of your contact area. don't ask me how I know but I know. LOL
Awesome glad this helped. Thanks for that helpful tip
What brake pad did you use to replace the 4 padlets on the C6 Z06 rear calipers?
What "bigger" pads did you find for the calipers?
@@alexgilmour5555
I bought the Hawk pads like he did
@@YELLOWVETTE
I bought the Hawk pads like he did
Where did you.order everything looks too good man damnnn badass
Everything I ordered from Amazon minus the calipers. I should have links for everything down below the video description
You have opinions and I have mine but stock is fine just a saying
No for sure stock is plenty for most owners, but for those looking to track their car performance brakes are a must.
Good job. But why not go with a square setup? I hear it's better overall performance
I have a square setup also but wanted to do this for those who don’t track their cars & just want the look of big brakes without spending a arm & a leg
@@JJBanuelos it's a great idea.
What did you put in the rear for brakes? Did you leave the factory cailper or put the front calipers on the rear?
I have the factory rear caliper still back there. Prob going to look for another c6 z06 rear caliper to put back there also.
So the c6z rear caliper fits in the front of the 17in wheel of the c5 what about the rear what did you put on the back
That’s correct in the back I’m planning on doing the same setup as the front.
Those original c5 calipers are super weak looking. Really cool those c6 boys just bolt right up.
I have stock needs, so no way will I be messing with such a critical safety system. just because " it fits". is not enough for me. I would need some way to restore the braking system balance if non specified parts are installed in the system. experimenting is for track only.
Interesting idea, but I'm confused. You are threshold braking to the point the stock brakes with track pads is inadequate, yet, you install cross-drilled rotors? You either were NOT getting everything out of your stock brakes, or you are not experienced enough to know that cross-drilled rotors will, not could but, will crack from track temperatures. You also went to replacing calipers and rotors before adding brake ducting that would cool the rotors to make the stock brakes with track pads work well. And PowerStop track day pads do not compare to actual track compounds, as you see with the Hawk pads. Not trying to sound condescending, just making observations.
drilled rotors were needed back when pads required off gassing to keep contact with the rotors. now pads have improved to where they are just for show in most applications. I favor more swept area over holes that look " racy".
Where did you get the steering wheel from?
Amazon. amzn.to/3QbZGNU
Any issues with upsetting the braking bias by just changing out the stock front rotors for the C6 rear calipers/rotors?
I'm thinking if you run a square brake setup at the 4 corners, you are going to need to add a propprtioning valve?
No issues with braking with current setup, but yeah I may need to run a adjustable proportional valve if I did a square brake setup. We’ll see I’ll keep you in touch once I get to that stage
I'm having issues with something close to this issue. We haven't figured it out yet. For some reason I don't get a full pedal and having trouble Stopping. the pedal is hard like no vacuum but there is plenty of vacuum. you can pull the check valve 5 minutes after the car shuts off and hear the vacuum release. I'm running the C6Z Goodridge G Stop Brake lines with a banjo fitting but can't see that as being a problem.
will any 17 vette rim work?...JB........
Should just as long as it has the same offset & backspacing as the factory one.
I did the 4 rear Calipers on the car. it would not stop the way it should. We thought it was a booster problem as it had a hard pedal. that was not the problem. no air in the system. used a Tech 2 scanner to work the ABS module. nothing worked. put the factory brakes back on and everything's is fine. it may work with these up front and the factory in the rear. all we can figure is since everything is exactly the same resistance and things it's not getting the proper pressures where it needs to go. Mine is an 01 and you can't change the front to rear Bias like you can on a 99 and below.
That’s strange I wonder if adding a adjustable proportional valve would help with the pressures?
Hey it’s been 8. Months, how’s things feel?
Man it’s they been great! Looking for the rear set to do them next. So far no issues.
@@JJBanuelos it would be super cool video if you did some breaking measurements stuff. Happy I stumbled over this channel. Thanks for the reply
Time to replace that oil pressure sensor.
Yup it’s on the list of things needed. Thanks!
How are you finding them that cheap?
Right?!?!
@dsmith1279 I looked asap ,$700 plus lol. The dude needs to buy and send me a set lol
He said he got them on FB marketplace, so they were slightly used?
So 4 piston not 6
That’s right.
