A rotor change (larger diameter) and master cylinder change would likely be required (the 6-piston caliper is going to need a larger bore MC to deliver more fluid volume), but you should still be able to pull of this swap fairly inexpensively if you are already running C5 brakes, and you can definately piece it together from scratch for a reasonable price-- my hunch is you can do it cheaper or on par with a Baer PBR Track kit.

I still can't find the darn thread I read a few days ago; hopefully someone else can dig it up soon. There was a lot of good info in it!

C6 info here and here.

Do the right thing and take them to the track!!

This is our choice of brakes for the ATS track cars:

Those are the AP Racing 6 piston racing calipers, with the full floating 14"x1.50" slotted 2 pc rotor. We are planning on running this on our new tall AFX spindle, as it bolts up with zero mods. The skunk works car gets all our cool new products to get some hard numbers for you guys. The new Baer 6 pot, and the new Zo6 6 pots will also bolt right up to either AFX spindle. Hell, Wilwoods do too. Any brakes from a C5/C6 bolts right up to our new spindles.

This may give you an idea of how large these fockers are in person:

Brake choices
 
Tyler this thread just got taken to a much higher level of need (in my case) Just curious how much would a brake package like that run. Not that I need it I am just wondering.... :hail: :hail:

PM about the price. ATS is an AP Racing dealer, we can hook it up.

LOL which one of you is the "model"....clowns! :thumbsup:

Those are siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

I think I dig the idea of the pieced together ZO6 setup...especially if as said above it can be done for about the same coin as a Baer PBR kit.

So seriously.....there's no wierd funny business required (ie home fab'd brackets) to put the rear on an older rear end housing?

The one above is Shane, the Lead Engineer here @ ATS.

He's actually making fun of me:

I love these brakes. That is a 16" wheel back there.

Bahahahaha! Thats rich!

What is the provision for a parking brake with the ZO6 stuff?

Teetoe_Jones 10-05-2005 01:03 AM

It uses a drum style parking brake that sits inside the 'hat' area of the rear rotor.
