Obligatory C5 Thread

[ChrisoftheNorth]

mods continue. Scored a good deal on a set of Wilwood 6 pot front calipers. I want to get the car to the track a few times this year, and the stockers really let me down last time. Not this time. Brakes have been on my list for a while.

They'll mean running an 18" front wheel. Time to find some Z06 rears and run a square setup. I also need to find a good deal on the matching rear calipers. Best part of these is I can use stock C6 Z61 or Z06 rotors for Max

Looking forward to hearing about all of this. I just reached out to Carolina Motorsports Park, looking to hit a few dates there this year. I'm hoping to go March 3rd, which will further my decision on keeping/offing the .

There's one more track in MI I haven't been to that I'll fix this year, and I really hope to make it to Track Night in America at Pitt Race once. Any others will be gravy, but I really want to improve the car's stopping performance, especially since I'll be going a lot faster with all the powaaa.

I won't be doing the brakes for another month at least, doe. Car's put up for the winter.

If you do get the car to a track day, I think you'll have a hard time selling. These things are nuts on the track. I talk about but there's just no way for me. I'll never find something I like more than the for at least double it's value.

Oh dang, them C6 Z06 brakes.

All that horsepower, all those parts, yet too bad he'll never meet me in the mountains of TN.

Better, I hope. The C6 Z06 brakes seem to have a number of downsides. Great for show, doe.

Wilwood Aero6 fronts that I'll likely run with C6 Z51 rotors. The rears I still need to source, but likely Wilwood Superlite 4's, also with C6 Z51 rotors.

I'd rather drive legally on a track.

Plus, you people insist on always going during my wife's birthday, so...

I prefer mudcamping TBH.

There are other times you can go too broseph.

I'm not driving down there by myself for a road. I've done plenty of canyon roads in my day, so I'm kind of meh on the whole thing. I'd rather pay the money to go to a track and not end up in jail.

In fact, I'm more interested in going down there for offroading and mudcamping. Dat Daniel Boone trail.

They're they up-charged "nickel plated"... what that is exactly, but they claim it won't discolor under extreme temps.

Few years ago. I would have done a few last year, but the car needed to get dialed in.

It is dialed in now. I will a bit.

Oh nice, I read 6-pot and C6 Z rotors, and assumed they were the OEM brakes.

I seriously considered the C6Z upgrade, but I've read a lot of meh stuff on it. I got these for such a good deal that I'll be at nearly the same price and these have phenomenal reviews for taking abuse.

I have good C6 Z51 rotors and the brackets to space out your stock calipers that I'll sell cheap, check with me next week.

I'll take them. I've been leaning toward Z51 rotors anyway. I'm in no rush because the car's in storage, I won't be doing anything to it for another month at minimum.

What do you think about the importance of upgrading the rears?
