bbb455 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm thinking about doing the Z06 caliper set up. Just wondering if they will clear the late model factory 20" LTZ wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm pretty positive the z06 upgrade will only fit under 22 inch wheels or more. I read that somewhere. Still waiting on rotors. Baer swore they would be here by Wednesday. I have my hopes for Friday so that I can do this on the weekend.

A_FUrious Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 If I were you I would be sure to put masking tape on the calipers. The Corvette logo is not baked on and break fluid has its way with the logo. I believe 20's should be ok, it's a matter of on the offset design if the rim has a concave design it won't clear.

70chevy03ss Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 They will fit behind 20 inch rims and above. Your spare tire will have to go you will need a 20 inch spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking out. I'll make sure to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just got done with the brakes. Looks like only 2/3 of the pads are contacting the rotor but I guess that's how it's suppose to be. Stop amazing. Definitely can tell a difference. Had to bleed these things by myself. Mityvac and a hockey stick. I will get more pictures. Truck is terribly dirty at the moment. Here's some temp pics I took at 2am. Rims make the brakes look tiny. I'll take more tomorrow after I wash her. Also have one rusty drum that I need to replace. And yes...I noticed when I got home I was dragging a ratchet strap.

A_FUrious Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) It appears that you have your rotors on backwards. IE. Left n right need to be switched Edited December 13, 2014 by A_FuriouSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) They had stickers that said L and R and direction of rotation. I mounted them accordingly. They look just like Rudy's rotors. Edited December 13, 2014 by TampaVmax (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_FUrious Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hmm my apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like only 2/3 of the pads are contacting the rotor but I guess that's how it's suppose to be. Mount the pads upside down by chance? This pic is the 'OLD' brackets but the pads are in upside down here. And to compare 'OLD' vs "NEW" Edited December 14, 2014 by JF-03-SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hmm. You might be on to something here. The pads had tapered edges at one side that lined up with the clips. So I must have them upside down. I didn't think they would fit well the other way though. Are you positive on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
