Sorry for late response...'Forgotten to subscribe to thread.

I'm looking at a C6 Z06 brakes swap with Forgeline wheels.... So yes, brakes are a welcomed addition (Up from 4w drums!

) and not that bad of an expense if you choose the right set up (for your intended use, of course).

What is the best way to lower the car if spindles are not...? I'm an air bag thinker (read: WINTER project)....especially since we got the new TRACK PROVEN numbers!

Reccomendations?

Lead.

Tyler, what is pricing on the spindles? Which drops 1" if i'm correct. (?)

ATS doesent have plans to make some spindles compatible with the original camaro stuff do they? that would probably sell very very well...

Yeah...

But i have not gotten any fitment anwsers yet. I'm working with Forgeline and Prodigy (Frank) right now to make sure everything is gonna work right.

I really like the look of C6 Z06's and performance wise...It's gonna be a Bad A$$ street only car, so Bling is where its at for now. (no street racing!)

I have to fill out the Forgeline build sheet this week end and only hope they'll be able to fit 'em. The first anwser seemed negative because backspacing needed on a 19 x 8 or 9" front wheel.

Thanks for reminding me of the thread.

Advises are always welcomed.

Here's the problem with drop spindles. Note how low the Camaro tie rod is compared to a front-steer Chevelle.

Thats cool, at least you know what the intentions are for the car really are. IMO brakes are there to stop the car, not make it look good but I did go out of my way to get blue powdercoated calipers so who am I to say something

and BTW the best/easiest/cheapest way to lower the front end of a first gen camaro is to just put lower springs in it. Never understood the advantage to drop spindles unless you wanted teh car riding on the bumpstops.

Thanks guy's.

I might get to do a few laps just for fun someday and to see what'S it got...and what "I" can do, but its just not gonna be the car's vocation, i just don't have either time or finances to race at any level...

(kids, house, life in general...)

Fatlife, when you state that brakes function is to "Brake", i agree...But are you saying the Z06 do not brake well? (except for pad wear, which i read, but with mileage i do i should be OK) I read they will be a very good set up for the street and moderate racing, thats why i'm interested + at that price they look good. Suits me. :-)

Maybe i should re-read that other thread?

Thanks for the pic David.

So what do you guy's think of this then,

- Stock drum spindle machined to fit Corvette rotors (no drop here!)
- Dropped springs.
- Speed Tech C5 caliper bracket (should fit C6? or not, because of 14" rotors???)

I'm trying to do it right but not too expensive....'Keepin my dough for the wheels. (Kinda expensive but they make the car!)

Only substitute i can think of would be an ATS Spindle if Tyler ever decides to let me know how much they sell for....

Thanks,

Lead.

I'm sure you'll be fine

I was just saying personally I wouldn't want brakes with obvious defects, $400 pads and 25ilb rotors.The only complaint I have heard from vette owners on the streets is that the GM pads dust A lot and the dust is really nasty stuff.

And I don't think if you want those spindles that it would be really that hard to get ahold of Tyler, just call ATS? I think the spindles are like $650 or a little more

Leadfoot1 · #19 10-08-2006, 05:52 PM

LOL!!!

I asked Tyler on another thread and he didn't anwser....I just didn't think i needed to write him or call to get a price. I tought he would write it on here(maybe its a Big Secret and i don't know?

)

I think i saw the SC&C adjustables A-Arms + ATS spindles for like 900$ (at SC&C) That would put the Arms at 250$! 'Guess i'll just get the right info and then rush out my order to SC&C!!!

Hey, thanks for your help!

I don't always have time to answer every question posted for me. You can always check our website, all our products have prices and can be purchased 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Even a search would have netted that answer in under 15 seconds. $695 per pair with hubs.
