Maiting season. Back from the dead

[Supercharged111]

Still waiting on my new control arms and shock mounts. I haven't done much to the frame because of that .
But did decide to upgrade those tiny c6 calipers and rotors. Ended up going with the blazer spindles, cadillac ats brembo calipers and c6 z06 rotors, hopefully they will look a little better in the wheels. View attachment 233347View attachment 233348

That requires clearancing of the caliper, correct?

As long as he's running correct wheels shouldn't have to. I have same calipers on my setup and no problems.

For the wheels im running no clearance issue. But if your talking about rotor to caliper, I had to just do a little on the outside inner edge

Yup, that's what I thought. How's the pad riding?

There above the rotor buy maybe 1/16 and right at the bottom of the rotor surface.

Did you fab the caliper/spindle adapter brackets, or buy from a vendor?

Vendor, there just your standard c5 caliper to blazer spindle bracket.

I see what you went with as far as rotors go. 14 inch as opposed to the C7 on mine that are 13.6". Any particular reason you went with the extra 10mm ?

How are your pads riding then? His are already peeking out over the top which makes no sense to me seeing how the rotor was already basically too big for the caliper. But that's how this setup is.

No reason, I just saw the c5 guys using this combo without adapters so I figured it would work with mine.
