What kind of calipers does a Chevy Corvette C6 ZR1 have?
I need to replace the calipers on my 2012 Corvette C6 ZR1. It’s been making a squeaking noise. I don’t personally know much about cars, but a coworker said the problem is with the calipers. But I don’t know which ones to buy. What kind of calipers does a Corvette C6 ZR1 use?

Great question! It’s true that bad calipers can cause a squealing noise. Given the age of your car, it’s about time for new ones anyway. The
Chevy
Corvette C6 ZR1 comes standard with Brembo six-piston monoblock calipers.I would consult with a mechanic before you go ahead and purchase replacement calipers. The problem might be more to do with another component in your braking system, such as your rotors or brake pads.
If the calipers do need replacing, a mechanic will have to switch them out for you anyway–most of the time, they’ll just order the parts themself and then charge you.
There’s no need to shop around looking at different types of calipers. The ones that come standard in the ZR1 are very high quality, and you know they’ll work properly with your car. Brembo makes excellent top-of-the-line parts. Plus, the monoblock (single-piece) calipers are superior to traditional two-piece calipers in a number of ways.
While you’re taking care of your
Corvette’s
routine maintenance, it’s a good idea to take a moment to review the car insurance
that you have for it as well. Most drivers overpay for their insurance because they do not remember to periodically review their coverage. For an easy way to review your insurance options, download the
