Some BIG BRAKE Porn...

You really don't appreciate how big the AP Racing 6-piston calipers are until you look at them from the front or back. These things are massive!

The braided brake line will be swapped out after we mock the HRE's up tomorrow and get all of that sorted out. The line that we used above was supplied with the brake kit and probably fits a Z06 perfectly.

Without anything for scale it is hard to appreciate the 14" rotors.


In order to get the brakes to fit on the ATS spindles with the 1/2 studs the bolt holes had to be ever so slightly enlarged (we used a 17/32" bit) and the backside of the stud holes had to be countersunk to clear the shoulder of the press is studs (we used a 1/2 countersink). None of that is required when using the stock 'vette wheel studs - only if you upgrade to the larger press in racing studs.


The workmanship of the AP rotors and calipers is really impressive. They are really nice pieces; thank for the hookup Tyler!
