Zo6 Calipers I've read the threads and i can buy them pretty cheap. My question is are they any better than camaro calipers? They look like 2 piston on the front calipers? What are the stock camaro calipers? Rear are single piston no?
they are similar to camaro calipers, but pressure cast, vs gravity cast, like the camaro ones, the extra ribs and presure cast, are less prone to spreading under hard use.
they are a good budget upgrade. But it won't be a huge difference lke going to 6 piston wilwoods.

If it's just for the street, stick with the stock, Corvette or ZO6 upgrade.

Most people run into problems when they upgrade the stock 12" rotor to the Corvette 13" rotor.
NineBall would probably be the best person to ask about all of this.
