C6 Brakes on a C4 Corvette

Post by Arthur Grant »

Team, can't remember who it is, but someone is running a C4 with C6 brakes. I am not sure but if my memory serves me right they are C6 rear brakes mounted on the front of the C4. As I remember there weren't a lot of complication to the upgrade. Was wondering if I could get the details, since the C6 runs 18 rims and the C4 17.

Thanks

Hi Art, Brian Chmielewski has put the C6 Z06 brakes on the front of his C4. You might want to ask him.

George, I don't see any contact information for Brian or posts. Do you know if he frequents for forum? May be I can put a flare up like I did for Rita?

Thanks

This is not a worth while upgrade for autocross. Back when the C4 was top dog in BSP most of the fast guys actually went to the smaller (12") base C4 rotor, with the stock 2 piston caliper, to save weight. Best thing to do right now is just get a set of two-piece rotors to save weight, and some better pads. There is nothing wrong with the C4 caliper, unless you intend on doing a lot of track days.
