I did a search here and a few other forums, but couldn't find any info directly related to the C5 brakes, only to the C6 Z06 brakes, which is not what I'm looking at.

Anyway, I'm just wondering, what is needed to fit a set of front C5 Z06 calipers onto the front of an '01 Silverado 4wd? (Also a bit curious about the rear single calipers onto my '01 as well, but that isn't the main concern here).

Is the bolt spacing on the vette caliper much different than that on the spindle of the truck? Also, what width rotor are they meant to run on?
And wondering about the offset to center the caliper too, but I could always shim that if not off too far.

Anyone here try, or happen to have some quick measurements?
With how cheap these calipers are, and how many upgraded C5 Z06's there are out there (leaving their oe calipers behind), I'd be surprised if no one had tried or done this yet on their GM trucks.
On a side note, I've also looked a little into some cheap take off brembo calipers from a '10 Camaro SS, but seems those would be just as much work as doing the C6 Z06 brakes, which I'm not looking to get into right now.

I've got a leaking front pass. stock caliper on my truck, and just ordered an SS braided line kit that is on the way, so I'm just wondering now which calipers to try while I have everything apart.
...also have a baer +2 front rotor kit, so that will have to play into the mix as well...


Any tips or info here would be much appreciated!

 

Get your leaky caliper fixed and put on the baer +2 kit that you already have along with the ss brake line kit you ordered.
