Looking for red C6 caliper's for my 07

You want to do it right? Use the C6 ZO6 calipers. They are red and chunky looking. They're not that much money.

Pretty sure you'd need to replace the rotors for the 6 pot fronts and the 4 pot rear Z06 calipers. Then you would likely have a wheel clearance problem.

There are aftermarket painted and powder coated calipers available from various suppliers.

There are also more economic solutions available to those who don't mind getting there hands dirty. I've seen heat resistant brushon epoxy (don't wince, the calipers have a sand cast finish that shouldn't show brush strokes if you use a good brush) and there's always the VHT paint from Pepboys.

If you do paint yourself, be certain to use a good brake dust cleaner and a small stiff bristle brush on the caliper surface before you start painting. A small wire brush works better, but you better have an air hose handy to make certain no stray brush wires are around where they could work themselves between the rotor and the pads.

Another nice touch is the the brake pad covers available from at least one of our sponsors - Corvette Central. They're high polished stainless, but you could prep and paint them any color you like.


Sorry for the thumbnail, but the big pic won't link for some reason.
