Default 2013 Corvette Grand Sport to Camaro Conversion

I have a co-worker who is selling a set of calipers(with pins) and rotors from a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport for $900. My question is, will this fit my 2002 Camaro SS without major modifications? thanks in advance.

If it's not a Z51 car, you should be able to use a trackbrackets/Umi C5 brake conversion bracket (or similar) and install them. The 13" brakes should clear your SS wheels. The Z51 package has larger rotors and moves the caliper out a bit more and that will likely not fit under your wheels.

If they are the 6 piston setup, then it might be worth the price and won't fit under your wheels (though they aren't very good brakes for anything but car shows). If they are the standard 2 piston calipers, you should be able to do the complete conversion for just a bit more than he's asking for the calipers (meaning the price seems high if it's the standard 13" brakes).

The grand sport uses the same brakes as a c6z06, many people have done the swap.

Thanks. I forgot the GS cars used the C6Z06 brakes. Those will not fit under the SS wheels and they look cool, but they aren't particularly good brakes for track use (that's why the Corvette guys take them off and install Stoptech or something similar).

They will fit with the conversion kit I mentioned (and other wheels).
