Product Description:
1982–1992 Camaro & Firebird Big Brake Upgrade Kit – Gen 6 Camaro SS 4-Piston Calipers with C7 Z51 Rotors
Modernize the stopping power of your 1982–1992 Camaro or Firebird with this Hawks Motorsports Big Brake Upgrade Kit using Gen 6 Camaro SS 4-piston Brembo calipers. Designed for performance, reliability, and ease of installation, this system is built around our proprietary spindle assembly and includes everything needed to bolt on one of GM’s best-performing factory brake setups.
To retain compatibility with third-gen specs, we’ve paired the Gen 6 SS calipers with one-piece slotted C7 Z51 rotors. These rotors match the correct 70.6mm center bore, 5x120.65 bolt pattern, and M12 wheel studs used on third-gen F-bodies — eliminating the need for custom hubs or adapters. For those who prefer to run factory Gen 6 SS rotors, that option is still available, but will require either Gen 6 wheel bearings (with 67.5mm center bore and 5x120 bolt pattern) or modification of the rotor bore to fit Corvette hubs.
This kit delivers exceptional braking feel, reduced fade, and high-end looks — perfect for performance street builds and pro-touring applications.
