Default Caliper question

Will front Z06 calipers fit on a 2000 FRC ? I want to get a spare set of front calipers for my racecar without moving to big brake kit.

I'm assuming you are asking about C6-Z06....
Yes but you have to use 18" wheels.

C5 Z06 caliper is the same as your stock caliper only painted red. No fitment problem.
C6 Z06 caliper will mount up but requires new bracket, new rotor size and 18" wheels with proper backspacing.

Yep... all C5 calipers are the same. C5 Z06s just came with them powdercoated red.

C6 Z06 calipers do not require brackets.

John,
I have 2 pair of Z06 front calipers and 1 pair of rear calipers after my brake change. Also some pads.

I am good on pads and rotors but am interested in the front calipers if they will fit a C5. I picked up a Phoenix car last weekend and will be starting to look at brakes next week. An extra set of calipers would be nice to have in the trailer. I will most likely upgrade with the DRM SS pistons. Let me know what you want for them.

I have 2 spare sets of front calipers if you're interested in a set. They've never seen track duty.
