Where is the best place to purchase C5/Z06 calipers?
As title reads, where is the best ( read: most affordable ) place to grab them. Need a set for the car and likely will get another as spares, trying not to push the budget to far out if i don't have to. Thanks.

Has anyone checked pricing at Fred Beans? What about others?

I go thru Lawrence Chevrolet. Jerry McKinney is the parts manager there and I think he can get the calipers for about $105 or so...the last time I bought some.

Keep an eye out on the for sale section here on the forum. There are usually plenty of "Waxers" upgrading to the red Z06 calipers and selling their old c5 calipers for nothing.... I got a full set of calipers, brackets, and rotors from a guy who was upgrading his C5 with 5000 miles to Crossed Drilled/ Slotted, powder coated brackets, and Z06 calipers. All this for I think $200... They looked brand new!!! Since I had a spare set, I went ahead had the brackets powder coated myself, rebuilt and painted the calipers, and I have pretty much the same thing for a grand total of $250.
