does anyone know, just for the fronts?

 

I'm going to do it some time in the future, calipers are cheap, $90 a piece I think. I was contemplating a dual caliper setup... Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but unless the rotors can get rid of the heat, extra calipers and brake pad surface would be a bad thing, right? There is also the issue of getting enough fluid volume to run 4 calipers in the front instead of 2 smaller ones.

I was thinking a bracket to hold the caliper, bolting on the original location, and a corvette rotor (which doesn't have a hub) bolted to a factory 3rd gen front rotor with the disc turned off. With longer studs of course, hmm, then I wouldn't need wheel spacers up front either...

 

hmm, when you doing this, cause i would like to copy it, or i will just go with wilwood, i dont know

 

Ive got a set of Baer Racing brakes which use the ZR1 caliper and 13"rotor.You need to fabricate a special bracket and modify your spindles to fit them but if you buy Baer it comes ready to bolt straight on.

I did alot of reacearch on this:

Here are my previous posts about it, which explain how to do it:

And here is sites with good info.

i read most of all that is in there, which is alot of crap, i have a few questions, if i cut off the 'ears' fromt he spindles, and i got corvette rotors and calipers could i jut throw them on? what other mods would hav to be done, and does someone have a pic of what the hub looks like? i have 4 wheel discs so i have the right proportional valve i believe

 

It seems that the caliper won't bolt up to our spindles, somebody mentioned that the bolt distance on the Corvette calipers is 5in? That is what the plate is for, and to move the caliper out further to accomidate the larger rotor. Honestly, the plate is not complicated, someone who doesn't have a mill could probably get by with a cardboard template and a drillpress. Although I would make mine on the mill. As far as the rotors, if you wanted to, you could saw and grind your current rotors off the hub, press in longer studs, and slap a vette rotor on that. You would get some extra wheel spacing, .600 or .300 as someone indicated, but as long as your bracket put the caliper in the right position, it would be all good.

I think the plates Baer sent me for the caliper mounts in the back were 5/16 thick. 5/16 (steel) and some 10.9 or grade 8 hardware should be plenty strong up front .

 

Anyone have any ideas about the heat dissipation issue with running dual calipers? (mentioned above)

Is it a problem getting enough fluid volume to run Corvette calipers with our master cylinders? Would it be a problem to get enough volume to run the extra calipers?

I would do it for a cool factor Then I'd have to get some super skinny spoke 19 inch wheels to show em off...

 

If you actually read all the "crap" (according to you) then you would not ask this. With all these links, almost everything is explained.

I see in my other post you just made a post asking what a hub is. This is just proof you didn’t even take the time to read these links thoroughly before dismissing them as “crap”.

 

so i have to make a hub? what is a hub?and what is the size of the corvette rotors compared to an irocs?

 

I just answered your hub question in the other post, check it out.

The corvette NONE-HD rotors are 12 inches. Not sure about the stock IROC ones
