the supra tt held a record 70-0 braking distance of 149 feet, the best braking performance of any production car tested. the record was finally broken in 2004 by 3 feet by a porsche carrera gt.
from what ive gathered on various corvette forums, z06 brakes avg about 160 feet stopping distance from 70mph. will that make a huge difference to the avg person? probably not. in any case, the z06 calipers are really nice looking.
Again guys, getting the z06 brakes would be for looks tho, supra tt calipers stops better than the z06
The supra weights 3486 while the z06 weights just under 3150, there will be no other reason to put brakes that stops a lighter car at more distance on a heavier car. I'm going on z06 forums to sell my supra tt brakes !
so whats a better caliper? the corvette or supra tt? what year corvette? will they clear 19" rims?
It depends. Both calipers have the ability to lock up your wheels so because one car stops shorter, we can't say it's because of the brake system. Tires, weight distribution, brake bias, etc will play a part in the total stopping distance. Saying the Supra brakes are better than the Corvette's is like assuming the Supra TT handles better than the SC just because it has factory Limited slip differential. No doubt the Supra calipers are some of the strongest when it comes to clamping power, but you do get to the point of diminishing returns on street tires.
I don't think so.The problem is the drop center! On most wheels it drop down and overall of 1in lesser than the diameter so even if the wheel is an 18 the drop center is any where from 16.75-17inches in dia.Now I have 18's on the car right now.So I can't complete this project til my 20's come in.But when I bolt everything up I'll try a 15mm spacer and I'll let you know.Give me three weeks sorry.
Is this not fitting because it is hitting the face or the dropped center of the rim? Im not sure if you measured, but what was the radius from the center to the edge of the corvette calipers? how about to the edge of the ls400 calipers? both with the isf rotors.
Hey fellas know it's been a well. But I finally got around to finishing the adapter bracket for the six piston Z06 calibers I 'll starting the rears soon . So the combination for this fitment is IS-F font rotors 14.1 using the six piston Z06 front calibers as pictured earlier in this thread
made of 3/8 steel but the finished brackets are 1/2

Hey Matt sorry it took so long to answer you . I believe the overall diameter of the caliper and rotor will be to big to fit in the drop center of your wheel.
But hey this setup will be on my car before the Orlando meet . And if I know you ,you'll be there. So we'll take a wheel off and try it..
That is an awesome price for those rotors. I paid doubled that when I started this project..It's been a while, as you all can see in the pictures the rotors are all rusted now
