ZR1 Calipers

[DKz Garage]

Does anyone know if 2009 Corvette Brembo calipers will work with DSE subframe? Looking to use these with steel rotors .... 14". DSE says C-6 rotors will work with their subframe/spindles, but did not know if the Brembos were an exception??

If it bolts to a Corvette spindle, it bolts to the DSE spindle.

Yes you can bolt the caliper to the spindle. No you can not use steel rotors with ZR1 calipers as the offset and size is different than the carbon rotors. Unless someone makes specific swap rotors that I haven't come across yet.

I assumed OP knew that he needed magic rotors to work with those calipers. Here is a complete set on sale for $5,500. https://www.racingbrake.com/ZR1-Iron-Rotor-Brake-Kit-Upgrade-for-C5-C6-Corve-p/gm-irp-10.htm


If I'm spending that kind of money, I'm going RSRT StopTech.

I was thinking that i would have to use the carbon rotors.... just was not sure. Thanks for the input!

Racing brake and girodisc make steel rotors for zr1’s that are cheaper alternatives to ccm rotors
