Re: Brake options for Corvette C4 85-87 Hubs

Craig if you wish to have a little bit of creative enginering and source calipers from a porsche etc there is a 330 dia rotor listed for C4 Corvettes listed in the DBA website. I have a pair of these for my DRB under construction but I found the lest expensive were from Rotors & Drums Australia. These are directional curved and almost two thirds the price of DBA rotors. Part Number RDA 7736 and RDA 7737.
For the rear I am using BMW E46 330I coupe rotor these are 320 dia and 22 mm thich and have a internal handbrake drum with the same wheel stud pattern as a corvette. I am machining my own hub but I would be worth the look to se if this rotor will fit on a Corvette rear hub assembly, these were only about $80 each from my local BMW dealer. I have not decided on a front capiper but am concidering using R32 front Skyline calipers on the rear, can be picked up for about $200 a pair grom importers.

Hope this may help
