^C6. That's when they came out with the badass 6 piston front calipers. C5s didn't have those. But you need Rudy's caliper adapter brackets and the Baer 15" rotors. None of these parts are cheap, but it should be comparable to a Baer or Brembo aftermarket kit when all is said and done. Can't really buy those in steps, either. I have rear discs as well (VMax) so I'm opting out of the rear end C6 conversion for the time being.

Pretty much.

The Z06 calipers as originally installed on the 2006 and later C6 Corvette’s are what you would be looking for. Usually no grinding or at least very minimal with stock spindles, more may be required with aftermarket pieces. Double check all part numbers before ordering, as running changes are made and I know at least some of the GM part numbers have been superseded. Of course you will need the caliper brackets from Rudy to make this whole thing work.

The caliper part numbers:
Left Front: 19121788 or AC Delco 172-2376 / Right Front: 19121789 or AC Delco 172-2378
Left Rear: 19121892 or AC Delco 172-2388 / Right Rear: 19121803 or AC Delco 172-2390
While part numbers may have already changed again, I have a newer set of part numbers for the caliper: LF 19211018, RF 19211017, LR 19211016, RR 19211015

While you could use GM pads, here’s what Hawk Performance listed for street pads:
Hawk HPS (Front) HB531F-570
Hawk HPS (Rear) HB532F-570
or
Hawk Performance Ceramic (Front) HB531Z-570
Hawk Performance Ceramic (Rear) HB532Z-570

MTI Racing also carries a line of brake pads that are a more conventional single pad instead of the factory style individual padlets. These should give more contact area and offer better wear characteristics. I’ve yet to use these, but once I need new pads I’m going to give them a try.

Braided brake lines required and you will have to use the banjo bolt for the corvette calipers. NOT the truck banjo.
Banjo Bolts:
GM- 11570052 qty (2)

Crush Washers:
GM- 21012386 qty (4)

Thread locker:
GM P/N 12345493 (Canadian P/N 10953488) qty (1)
Loctite 2422 qty (1)

The Vett calipers can use a 32mm front and 26mm rear rotors.
The front Baer rotor part #’s are 6910962 and 6920962.
The rear Bear rotor part #’s are 6910526 and 6920526.

Would this setup also fit a 2014 Silverado? Wanting a 2014 6.2 bad so if I put this kit together for my 2011 I would hope to transfer it to the 2014 when I get it. The only holdup for me getting the 2014 now is that the 2015's may come with the new 8 speed auto that the C7 ZO6 will be getting and if so I'll likely wait for the 2015.

If the spindle is the same on the 14 trucks(I believe it is), then yes it would work
