2014 stingray brakes So I have been on the fence between an ls1 brake swap on my 96 z28 and the ctsv/2010 camaro brake swap. The later is a problem because of my dedicated race wheels (17 x 11 all around).
So being a corvette fan I have been doing research on the new c7 and it looks like the base c7 brakes will be small enough to fit under 17inch wheels.
Being 4 pistion brembo calipers I am sure that they are much better than current c6 calipers, plus they get some cool looking/almost two piece fancy rotors. The non-z51 brake package has a 12.6inch front rotor and 4pot brembo caliper I believe.
When I read that I thought: "perfect". I am surprised no one has been speculating this yet so I will be the first to make a thread.
I don't have the details but I assume that these breakes are no different from any other c5/c6 in the sense that they should bolt right up with umi or bishop brackets.
Anyway. Just thought I would throw it out there for discussion.
BTW the z51 brakes get fancy looking 13.6 rotors with j-hooks in them and some kind of dual alloy technology to help keep temps down along with 4pot brembo calipers. Very cool if you ask me. I suspect this will be very affordable just like c6 brakes are.
