The spindles are similar from GMT800-up. Very different from GMT400. Good luck.

I mean, anything can be done if you throw enough effort, skill, and money at it...

Lol, no. If by "sick" you mean they need to be on life support, then yes

Nah I like them. I think the HC 1500 is the worst. I like the trail boss and RSTs. 2500 front end is hands down my favorite though. I think they have a cool look to them.

No.. just pull the plug.

I had to look them up to make sure I knew what you were talking about. Are you sure you don't need corrective lens? Are you wearing beer goggles when you see them?

So, i found Wilwood 2" drop spindles require upgrade to radial mount brake calipers. I may be onto a solution. Now i have to find out if corvette calipers will mount directly to the Wilwood spindles. Is there a spindle thread?

that sounds like a question direct to Wilwood - they make stuff for various generations of trucks and corvettes, so they should be able to tell you if their truck spindle would mount a C6Z caliper

Wow.. never even knew Wilwood made drop spindles, much less for GMT400's. Learn something new every other day. Whew.. $363 from Summit.. ($392 list)

"Wilwood's C1500 Steel ProSpindle Kits contain a pair of one piece spindles and integrated steering arms for 88-98 Chevrolet & GMC 2WD C1500 Pickups, Blazers and Suburbans. Specifically designed for use with Wilwood's disc brake kits and with a 2.00” drop without affecting steering geometry."

Something tells me they're gonna say "No, the Corvette Z06 calipers will not work" - but it's just a hunch. You could still always ask. But, note from that page: "Cautionary Info Spindles (Pair) L/H & R/H. Can only be used with Wilwood Brake Kits"

Little shop mfg makes a bracket and kit to fit the new wilwood spindles iirc, also for the stock or mcghauys spindle. Aint cheap tho, but none of this kinda stuff is i suppose.
also have rear matching kits and more budget front and rear kits that use c4 or c5 stock style brakes iirc..
