Default Best price on ZO6 brake kit

Would anybody who did the upgrade to ZO6 brakes please post a link to where they purchased them. I'd like to see the best deal.

yeah, they are about 16xx, but you just missed a big sale in the 15s with shipping.

Hi there,
Yes, we sell them for 1699.40 + shipping. Get a GP together or something and I'll do the 1551. price again.

Thanks,
Gene

FYI -

That "kit" is calipers and pads only - no rotors for 1325 + 145 shipping!

Genes 1699 is for the *whole* kit including rotors

Do regular C6 wheels clear the Z06 calipers and rotors without any problem?

There are many Z06 Pilots who are ditching these for a better setup on the track. That is how I got mine. You might periodically post a "WTB" on the Parts for Sale section. Worked for me.

Don't forget that you do need C6 stainless steel lines or the conversion will not work.

We have them in stock at: $139.95 for the full set.

You can order them by clicking here:

I ordered your brake lines for my Z06 brake kit install and they worked great. My installer seemed to think the stock rubber lines would have worked just as well. So why the need for the SS lines? To control expansion?

BLK-DVL,

Sorry, but the price I listed did NOT include shipping, but FEDEX Ground is very inexpensive so don't let shipping costs stand in your way.

VETTE-NV,

First off, you can't install the C6 Z06 brakes on a C5 or C6 WITHOUT our stainless steel brake lines. The factory rubber lines won't allow you to adapt to the new calipers. Most guys go with stainless steel lines for better fluid transfer and to avoid having the rubber lines expand and contract as the fluid gets to over boiling levels. Stainless steel lines are the way to go!

Shawn
