So I found the ultra rare zq8 2wd blazer spindles! A cool cat was parting with them on Craigslist from Texas and was nice enough to ship them to me. So what I was hoping for was advice on the rest of what I need and the way to go on parts. Here is what I have found so far.
Pepboys has 35 percent of if you order online btw. So I can buy the front c5 calipers with the mounts and hardware rebuilt for 50 after core which my buddy said he will just use my g body calipers as the core. And the Power stop evolution sport kit which includes the rotors, pads and shims for 114. Thats 214 for all. The rotors are slotted and have the holes plus they come with ceramic pads.
Ebay I can buy new gm red corvette front c5 calipers for 250 shipped the brackets are 114 shipped and the slotted rotors with pads for 110 shipped. I would still need hardware as well.
Now I would have to paint the calipers from pepboys because they are not red but hey yellow would look cool. I believe they have to be factory corvettes calipers because they say rebuilt meeting or exceeds manufacturer specs. I have used pepboys parts like calipers before but not high performance types. The fact I can get the calipers for what the brackets would go for is what I like.
The bracket to mount the calipers to the zq8 spindles I am making so that helps and since I hate just making one set of anything I will be making extra so if anyone wants a set just let me know. But has anyone went this route using the rebuilts and sport rotors and pads?
Also what brake likes do I need to work with the g body lines to vette calipers?
Any help I would appreciate, Thanks.
