Welcome to the forum.

Vette Brake Products and Stainless Steel Brakes handle calipers along with other aftermarket Corvette suppliers. Definitely recommend getting stainless steel sleeved calipers.

Thanks for the tips. So cheap calipers like bestbrake should be avoided ........
Sometimes spending a few extra bucks pays for Itself.

Just make sure that it's stainless steel lined and not made in China.
