Guest NESS89 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hey, does anyone know if anyone has swapped the brakes off of a corvette z06 onto a 240z? is there a kit out there or has anyone ever done this? any info is appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 No kit. One member here, 240hoke, used Corvette front hubs and brakes, but I'm not sure what year they were off of and whether it was a C4, C5 or C6. I'm pretty sure they weren't C3 or older. Do a search and you may find some info, or you could PM him directly about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I had a set of calipers I was going to use, but instead went with the Ford Mustang/Cobra "stuff" because someone else was making the kit and it was just easier. The C5 corvette brakes are some of the best OEM brakes I've ever driven on a track car. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've got the C5 rotors on my Z hubs with Outlaw calipers (what a combination!). I still have the C5 black calipers though, and they are a very good design considering a floater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrb26240z Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Guys, I installed a set on my car earlier this year, very happy with the result. Also using Stoptech 330mm Aerorotors and Racebrake ET800 pads. Excuse the quality of the pics (mobile phone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 hmm this is an interesting option! how did you guys mount the calipers? did you have a shop machine them or did you built the caliper mounts from spare scrap?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrb26240z Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Had some custom adaptors fabricated out of aluminium, not an easy task. the installation is very tight. My rear brakes are 286 by 25mm vented rotors with a sliding piston caliper, they are off a locally produced Ford with competition pads and ducting for cooling. they are holding up OK for now, maybe at a later date I will upgrade to the 4 piston rears. Higher priority is to upgrade my turbos to some new Garretts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezguy Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I know this thread is OLD but the Z06 front brakes look like a good option. Anyone else done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGnaR_RattmuFF Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have the "classic" Toyota S12W front calipers and are interesting how the ford mustang rear calipers works together with bigger front brakes. There are a lot of discussions about bad balance between these two kit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
