I just installed a set of Baer Eradispeed rotors, but seem to have a bad left caliper. Is there anyone that offers a reasonably priced alternative to OEMs? :confused:

Z06 or C5 calipers, are a reasonable caliper only upgrade.

similar to stock, but pressure cast, and finned, so less prone to spreading.

you'll need different pads with Z06 or C5 calipers

How much is the Z06 upgrade and where do you get them from?

If you are looking at this, there is also a porsche caliper swap option as well.

you can put just the C5 calipers on your stock rotors, and stock caliper backets using f-body pads, the C5 calipers are pressure cast, and have additional ribbing, that make for a stronger caliper.

Decent upgrade

Then there is the full C5 upgrade, that includes 13" rotors, brackets, ect, for a better brake package, but is not a caliper only.

the porsche ones, what one is just caliper? the ones i know of are full caliper, brackets, rotors, $$$$$
