The calipers are from a 7.0 and can be found on Ebay for around $650.00-700.00 for the pair. You would also need the pads from GM the kit comes with the pins needed to lock down the pads. Those Delco pads run anywhere from $250.00 - 275.00. The rotor are made by Raybestos and I've seen them for 100 dollars on different websites.. The rotors are 14.2 inches , and most BBK brake kit offer 14.0. All in all the with everything needed, cost is around $1300.00 done (brand new) .. Imagine if you can find used or rebuilds ..I'm not sure if there is a 6 piston BBK out there for under 1400.00..

Alright so I came across an interesting issue with these calipers in that if you ever have to rebuild them you're going to run into some problems.
There was a local guy selling some z06 PBR 6 piston front calipers however he took them apart to strip them to get them ready for powdercoating. A couple of the seals got damaged in the process which is fairly normal so he was expecting to go to the dealer and pick up a set of new seals which you've always been able to do for GM calipers, even the CTS-V BBK.
No dice. Not only were they $145 PER SIDE (yes, just for the seals) but he said they were "unorderable".
So I thought I would try my own luck and I called a few chevy dealers in AZ, then tried a couple in vegas and LA. NO dice. They don't have them and they can't get them. Price ranged from $135-$170 per caliper. Everybody told me "well a new caliper is about $500, I can sell you one of those..." sweet...
I have a voicemail in to PBR North America's purchasing department (closest I could get to sales) so I'll keep you guys posted if I get any information.

No need to repaint the caliper. The Corvette letters easily come off with just a little acetone. But if needed, then any good powder coating shop can do it without removing the seals..
