I'm actually looking around for a caliper for some custom spindles I will be working on. Not for corvette. There is also a set of brembos I am looking at which I am comfortable with the history. These however, I still need to know more about how used they are before making a purchase.

Worst case, it needs seals. The pistons had issues with the coating flaking off, which PFC will fix. Its an issue, and they are aware of it. It was fixed on anything built after 09, if i recall, and it only happens after 20+ hours of use on the pistons.

Its a bad *** caliper, great piston setup with well engineered heat barriers. The material on the heat shield in the piston is rocket nozzle material.

It may be a stupid question, but those (using Hardbar adapters) won't fit a 17" OEM C5Z wheel, will they?

Dont have a definite answer for you but I dont think they fit anything smaller then a 18" and with a spacer for OEM wheels, I have a set of CCW's I was going to use with them.

I saw them on your GA car, and was building the car close to GrandAM Specs so when I found htem I snatched them up. To be honest if I could find the matching rears I would probably keep them, but $$ is tight and they arent cheap...

Thanks for the info Louis.
On that note I will consider these. Still need to hear back about the brembos I am also considering.
