Question: Z51 Brake Upgrade

[Blue260]

Question already asked and answered.

 

[NORTY]

Does anyone know if the Z51 brake upgrade is a simple bolt on procedure for the base C6 or is the front spindle/A-Arm different.

Do the larger caliper brackets simply bolt on once the base brackets are removed?

What is the difference between Z51 brake pads and base C6 pads - are they larger or just a different compound material?

Any help or knowledge appreciated. ;help

thanks

From what I understand, the Z51 brake calipers are only different in their location. The rotors are different (obviously.) The master cylinder is the same. The brake lines are the same. The anti-lock controller is the same. I believe the pad compound is different. I'm sure the "specialist" can chime in with the exact details you seek.
