Long time lurker so thought id give back. I decided to do the front Brembo swap on my 01 camaro. I had a little trouble finding all the info i needed so figured I'd start a thread with all the parts required and their prices along with pics. 18x9.5 front C5 Z06 wheels do not require wheel spacers

Parts Required/Used
-2010 camaro Brembo front calipers (make sure spindle/caliper bolts are included)- 250$ from Cleveland Pick Apart (http://stores.ebay.com/Cleveland-Pick-A-Part)
- Brake lines from kore3 Industries- 55$
- 14" 2010 Camaro SS rotors from ebay 150$
- Have the inside bore of the rotors machined to 70.7mm by local machine shop - 40$
- Hawk HPS pads- 113$ on ebay
- I had calipers painted red with white Brembo letters- 40$
- 9/16 drill bit- 15$ from Home Depot to drill out holes in the spindle

Really as simple as removing your old calipers and rotors, drilling the spindle to 9/16" holes, replacing the brake lines, putting on new rotors, bolt calipers on (the bolts thread into the calipers)

**NOTE** 18x9.5 C5 Z06 wheels do NOT require wheel spacers

Hope this helps and feel free to PM me with any questions

I wonder if these would clear my TT2's with a spacer.

Wow that looks awesome,just what ive been waiting for. How does it stop?Is this cheaper than all of the other big brake conversions, based on what you have seen?

I want to say +56mm offset on the fronts (18x9.5)

night and day difference in stopping. Cannot tell you how much better it is than stock. Wish i would have checked stopping distances before and after to post up here. But I think it adds just as much aesthetically




I mean the rotors I got are not nearly as nice but a similar kit I see listed here for $2900 (http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=P016) so its definitely a way cheaper alternative.

Looks great. I want to do this but that means I'd need new wheels and tires.

how much space do you have between the deepest part of the wheel spoke to the caliper? I have the same wheel size and a 56mm offset and was under the impression they would not fit.

Looks great dude! Good to see this working out for you. We need to start a list of wheels the brembos will work with and at what offsets.....

Good write-up! That's one clean Z28.

Wish there was an alternative for the 17" wheels.

You can run them with 17" wheels, just have to do some grinding....https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...s-17-rims.html
