Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

The one that Brembo did didn't push out the wheels, the hats were regular thickness. So it does sound like something they put together themselves.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

If it used 2-piece Brembo discs, then it was likely an off-the-shelf system from Brembo. There used to be a system with 2-piece floating 332x32mm discs using calipers similar to those I pictured...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

It's not a caliper that is used on any OEM installations. It is a caliper that is specific to Brembo's aftermarket upgrade systems.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

It is for the pictured package, not the Camaro/C7 caliper. This is a Brembo radial mount caliper that has the proper pad shape to work with the C6 discs, and the correct piston area to work properly...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

If you guys want to get an idea of wheel clearance when using C6 discs, I've attached 2 pdf brake profiles. One with C6 Z51 discs that are 340x32mm and one with C6 Z06 discs that are 355x32m.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

I think that is likely in reference to the position of the disc, not in reference to the caliper. It doesn't seem like he has even tried to put pads into the caliper yet. The picture I included...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

There is no way to shim the caliper radial position. The caliper is going to be too far out radially by 11mm. Unless the 88-90 upright positions the caliper differently (but I don't think it does)....

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

A number of issues with that.

As I had mentioned the hole spacing is 128mm vs. the 130mm on the C4, so yes, you can oval the holes in order to mount the caliper. But I wouldn't be doing it with a...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

No, not all. The calipers cost a lot of money for the tooling so they use them across different platforms in order to increase the volumes and reduce the per-piece cost. Therefore, the hole spacing...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Yes, I have those dimensions as well, some of which I posted earlier.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Again...that is for that particular adapter. There is no reason why a single adapter design could not mount the Z06 brakes as well as all the others C5 and C6 options as well.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Since I don't know specifically which adapter you are referring to, I can't comment on that.

However, my point is that there is no need for there to be a different adapter for different packages...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Yes, the brakes are certainly different, and are different sizes. But the mounting points on the car where the brakes mount to are in exactly the same position regardless of the brake package.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Maybe I should start a thread to get input on what the community is looking for in regards to brake upgrades? I might be able to help if I know what everyone's priorities are, i.e. cost, wheel sizes,...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Can you clarify this?


There are definitely considerations for how the adapter is designed that could create clearance issues, but the brake mounting dimensions for the C5 and C6 are identical.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Yes, but the caliper adapter bracket also has to locate the mounting plane of the new caliper mounting locations at the same distance from the hub face that it is on the C5/C6.



Nope! The...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

Yes, the same uprights are used across the board on the C6, regardless of which model it is.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

For the C5 and C6, the hole spacing is 128mm, and the offset from disc centerline is 86mm.


The attached diagram shows what I mean by the offset dimension.

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

For sure, just a bit of a hassle to do that every time the discs need replacing.


The benefit there vs. the C7 Z51 discs though, is that the Camaro ones are 10mm deeper so wheel clearance to the...

Re: Camaro 4 Piston Brembo kit

The picture that goes with that link is misleading, that is not what the kit consists of. The calipers are 4-piston, the discs are 1-piece. The calipers themselves are shared between the Camaro6 SS,...
