Check out this video from YouTuber 1Hand on How to Order a 2022 C8 Corvette.
He works at a Chevrolet Dealership so you can get a behind the scenes inside scoop on ordering the 2022 C8 Corvette. You can see him order a 2LT and select different options.
Also, check out our latest post about the C8 Corvette Carbon Fiber part options from the OEM and what C8 Corvette carbon fiber parts you should consider from the factory vs. aftermarket to save you money.
Best carbon fiber parts for every C8 Corvette: 2027 factory carbon prices, aftermarket picks by model, wide vs narrow body fitment and real owner reviews.
It depends on the body. On a narrow-body Stingray, a 5VM-style carbon splitter and side skirts make the biggest change, from about $2,111 aftermarket. On wide-body cars, factory carbon aero is the pick: $8,995 on the Z06 and $12,995 on the ZR1. Narrow-body and wide-body parts do not interchange.
This post used to be a 2021 rant about not spending $23,000 on factory carbon. The point still holds, but the C8 lineup is now seven cars across two body widths, and the right first carbon part is different for each one. Below is what I would buy on every model, what the factory charges for 2027, what aftermarket pieces were listing for on November 5, 2026, and what owners on CorvetteForum say about fit, weave and durability once the parts are on the car.
One line per car. Prices are 2027 factory option prices or vendor listings checked today.
| Model | Best first carbon mod | Price | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stingray | 5VM-style carbon splitter and side skirts | from $2,111 (RSC kit) | Biggest visual change, bolts to factory points, cheap to replace after a scrape |
| Grand Sport (2027) | Track Performance Package | $109,490 car | Z06-style carbon aero plus carbon ceramics from the factory |
| Grand Sport X | Carbon fiber wheels (ROY) | $11,995 | The only non-Z, non-ZR1 C8 offered with the factory carbon wheels |
| Z06 | Carbon Flash aero (T0F) | $8,995 | Real downforce, factory fit, warranty stays simple |
| E-Ray (2024 to 2026) | Used car with CFV or CFZ ground effects | check the window sticker | Factory carbon is already paid for; wide-body Z06 aftermarket pieces fit |
| ZR1 | ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero (TOM) | $12,995 | Chevrolet says the aero helps make over 1,200 lbs of downforce |
| ZR1X | 10-spoke carbon wheels (SU1) | $15,995 | Unsprung weight matters most on a 1,250 hp AWD car |
The single biggest mistake I see is buying carbon for the wrong body. The C8 comes in two widths, and most exterior aero pieces only fit one.
The narrow-body Stingray is 76.1 inches wide. The wide body used by the Grand Sport, Z06, E-Ray and ZR1 is 79.7 inches wide. The Grand Sport X builds on the Grand Sport and the ZR1X builds on the ZR1.
Most big carbon aero pieces are final sale because of freight cost. Paragon Performance lists its APR and GM 5VM kits as no return, no exchange. Confirm body, model year and Z51 or Z07 status with the seller before you pay.
These are the 2027 option prices GM published in spring 2026. If you are ordering a new car, factory carbon is usually the cheapest way to get it, because the same parts cost more as dealer accessories later. The GM visible carbon 5VM kit for the Stingray, part 85130381, was on sale for $6,995 at Paragon Performance today, while the factory CFV ground effects option is $4,495 on the order guide.
| Option (RPO) | Models | 2027 price |
|---|---|---|
| Visible carbon ground effects (CFV) | All | $4,495 |
| Carbon Flash-painted carbon ground effects (CFZ) | Z06 | $3,495 |
| Visible carbon removable roof panel (C2Z) | All | $2,595 |
| Visible carbon mirror caps (5JR) | All | $1,395 |
| Carbon Flash-painted carbon aero package (T0F) | Z06 | $8,995 |
| Visible carbon aero package (T0G) | Z06 | $10,995 |
| Z07 Carbon Flash aero and wheel package (PDD) | Z06 | $25,495 to $26,995 |
| Z07 visible carbon aero and wheel package | Z06 | $26,495 to $27,995 |
| Visible carbon LT6 engine cover (RXI) | Z06 coupe | $2,495 |
| Carbon Flash 5-spoke carbon wheels (ROY) | Z06, Grand Sport X | $11,995 |
| Visible carbon 5-spoke wheels (ROZ) | Z06, Grand Sport X | $13,995 |
| Visible carbon wheels with Red stripe (STZ) | Z06, Grand Sport X | $15,500 |
| 10-spoke visible carbon wheels (SU1) | ZR1, ZR1X | $15,995 |
| ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package (TOM) | ZR1, ZR1X | $12,995 |
| ZTK Track Performance Package | ZR1 | $5,995 |
| Carbon cluster surround and console trim (FA5) | Z06, ZR1, ZR1X | $1,795 |
| Carbon level 2 instrument panel trim (FA6) | Z06, ZR1, ZR1X | $5,295 |
| Carbon and suede steering wheel (N2Z) | Z06, ZR1, ZR1X | $895 |
One trap on the order guide: the Stingray high wing (5ZZ, $1,550) is painted Carbon Flash Metallic. It is not a visible carbon weave part.
Aftermarket prices are vendor listings checked on November 5, 2026. Sale prices move, so treat them as a snapshot.
| Model | Factory carbon | Aftermarket pick (listed price) | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stingray | CFV ground effects $4,495, C2Z roof $2,595, 5JR mirrors $1,395 | RSC 5VM carbon aero kit $2,111.40; APR 5VM kit with high wing $4,821.20; APR GTC-500 71 in wing $2,009.85 | Narrow body only. APR and RSC kits list Stingray coupe and convertible |
| Grand Sport | Track Performance Package with Z06-style carbon aero | ZR1-style double-sided carbon hood $2,167.18 (lists Grand Sport) | Wide body. Aftermarket listings for the 2027 Grand Sport are still thin |
| Grand Sport X | ROY, ROZ, STZ carbon wheels $11,995 to $15,500 | Same ZR1-style hood lists Grand Sport X | Confirm the 2027 front fascia on any aero listing |
| Z06 | T0F $8,995, T0G $10,995, Z07 packages, RXI cover $2,495 | Anderson Composites Type-AZ rear diffuser $2,429.10; AC Type-GT hood $3,799 | Wide body. Type-AZ diffuser lists 2023 to 2026 Z06 coupe only |
| E-Ray | CFV and CFZ ground effects were offered | Z06 and E-Ray splitters and rocker extensions from Anderson Composites and others | Wide body, shares most Z06 aero mounting |
| ZR1 | TOM aero $12,995, SU1 wheels $15,995, ZTK $5,995 | AGM ZR1 carbon race-spec hood with duct from $3,995 | ZR1 hood and aero are ZR1 specific |
| ZR1X | TOM aero $12,995, SU1 wheels $15,995 | ZR1X-specific aftermarket carbon was hard to find in today’s search | Shares the ZR1 body and aero |
The Stingray is where aftermarket carbon makes the most sense. The parts are cheap compared with the wide-body cars, and a front splitter is the piece most likely to get scraped, so you want something you can afford to replace.
The RSC 5VM carbon aero kit was listed at $2,111.40 today, down from $2,295. RSC describes it as 3K 2×2 twill with a UV-inhibiting gloss clear. The APR Performance 5VM kit with a carbon high wing was on sale for $4,821.20, with a quoted install time of about 4 hours.
What owners say: in a March 2024 CorvetteForum thread on 5VM splitters, an owner who runs HPDE and autocross said he has gone through three splitters on cones and none were repairable, so he buys cheap. Another owner praised the ACS one-piece Carbon Flash splitter, saying “Look and fit is great.” Owners also suggested foam pipe insulation under the lip to protect the leading edge.
Watch Paragon Performance install a Verus Engineering chassis-mount front splitter on a C8. It shows how much of the bumper and undertray comes off, which is the same job for most splitter installs.
My full walkthrough is in how to install a C8 Corvette front splitter.
The 2027 Grand Sport uses the Z06 wide body with the 535 hp LS6. The easiest way to get carbon on one is the Track Performance Package, which adds Z06-style carbon aero and carbon ceramic brakes. A Grand Sport with that package starts at $109,490 including destination.
The Grand Sport X adds the 186 hp front motor for 721 hp combined, and it is the only car outside the Z06 offered with the 5-spoke factory carbon wheels. The Carbon Flash ROY wheels are $11,995, the visible carbon ROZ wheels are $13,995 and the STZ wheels with a red stripe are $15,500.
Aftermarket support is still catching up. A few listings, like the Paragon Performance ZR1-style double-sided carbon hood, already name the Grand Sport and Grand Sport X. For splitters and skirts, wait until a maker confirms 2027 Grand Sport fitment on the listing rather than assuming Z06 parts carry over.
On the Z06 the factory carbon aero is the move. The Carbon Flash-painted aero package (T0F) is $8,995 and the visible carbon version (T0G) is $10,995. The Z07 aero and wheel packages bundle aero and carbon wheels for $25,495 to $27,995.
What owners say about Carbon Flash vs visible: in an August 2022 CorvetteForum thread, owners explained that the two packages share the same shape and material, and the Carbon Flash paint covers visual imperfections in the weave. Several said they would rather buy an aftermarket replica because it is less painful to repair or replace, and one owner posted his ACS Carbon Flash splitter and called the fit “Perfect.”
For aftermarket, the Anderson Composites Type-AZ rear diffuser was listed at $2,429.10 for 2023 to 2026 Z06 coupes. It is vacuum-infused 3K twill with a UV-inhibiting gel coat, mounts to factory points and needs the OE heat shield and hardware. Rear diffusers are body specific, so check the listing and our rear diffuser install guide.
What owners say about diffusers: in a December 2025 CorvetteForum thread comparing Z06 rear diffusers, owners praised Racing Sport Concepts for consistent weave and color, and one reported no flaws across several RSC parts. EOS was about $2,000 cheaper but drew mixed reviews. One owner called it “hit or miss,” and another said a vent arrived with swirls and a clear coat blob he had to polish out.
I lowered both of my Z06s on Paragon Hyperco springs and collars, and I had a front lift failure on one of them that was my own doing. Lowering and a carbon splitter is the combination that eats front ends. If you drop the car, budget for a splitter you can replace, do not count on the front lift to save it, and learn the right C8 jacking points so a shop does not crack the lip on a lift.
Speed Dr breaks down exactly what is in the Z06 visible carbon fiber aero package versus the full Z07 package. The prices in the video are from launch, so use the table above for 2027.
For a full breakdown, see C8 wheel and tire sizes and C8 aftermarket wheels.
The E-Ray is discontinued for 2027 and replaced by the Grand Sport X, so every E-Ray you buy now is used or leftover stock. That changes the carbon math. A used car that already has factory carbon ground effects is a better deal than adding them later, because you are not paying option prices on depreciation.
If you are deciding between a used E-Ray and a new Grand Sport X, our Grand Sport X vs Z06 vs E-Ray comparison covers the rest.
The ZR1 already uses carbon in several standard parts, according to Chevrolet. The option that matters is the ZR1 Carbon Fiber Aero Package (TOM) at $12,995 for ZR1 and ZR1X. Chevrolet says it includes the carbon wing, underbody strakes and carbon dive planes, and that the aero works together to make over 1,200 lbs of downforce.
The 10-spoke visible carbon wheels (SU1) are $15,995 on both cars, up $2,000 from 2026. The ZTK Track Performance Package is $5,995 on the ZR1.
On a $197,495 ZR1 or a $227,695 ZR1X, factory carbon is a small slice of the sticker and it is the version buyers look for later. Spend aftermarket money on the cars where the factory charges a big premium for looks, like the Stingray.
More on these cars: ZR1 vs ZR1X and C8 ZR1 price by trim.
Owner threads keep coming back to the same five checks.
On a Stingray, a 5VM-style front splitter and side skirts change the look the most for the money. On a Z06, ZR1 or ZR1X, the factory carbon aero packages are worth it because they add real downforce and keep the warranty simple. Carbon wheels are the most expensive upgrade and the hardest to live with.
Mostly no. The Stingray is a narrow body at 76.1 inches wide, while the Z06, E-Ray, ZR1 and Grand Sport use the 79.7-inch wide body. Splitters, side skirts, rear diffusers and spoilers are body specific. Some hoods, mirror caps, roof panels and interior trim are listed for both.
On November 5, 2026, the Anderson Composites Type-GT dry carbon hood was listed at $3,799 for 2020 to 2024 Stingray and Z06. A ZR1-style double-sided carbon hood was on sale for $2,167.18 at Paragon Performance, and the AGM ZR1 race hood with duct started at $3,995.
Factory carbon is ordered with the car, fits perfectly and is covered by GM. Aftermarket carbon is usually cheaper and easier to replace after a scrape, but quality varies by brand. CorvetteForum owners rate Racing Sport Concepts highly for consistent weave and call some cheaper brands hit or miss.
It can if the clear coat lacks UV protection. Anderson Composites says its dry carbon hood has no UV protection and should be clear coated, painted or wrapped. On the earlier C7 ZR1, owners reported factory carbon trim yellowing, so paint protection film and a UV clear are cheap insurance.
For track use, yes. For a daily driver, maybe not. The 2027 Z06 carbon wheels cost $11,995 to $15,500 depending on finish. Owners report a smoother ride over bumps, but many tire shops refuse to mount them and curb damage is expensive.
Yes. The Grand Sport Track Performance Package adds Z06-style carbon aero and carbon ceramic brakes, at $109,490 including destination. The Grand Sport X also offers the same carbon fiber wheels as the Z06, starting at $11,995.

Daily photos, spec drops, and ownership reality from someone who’s owned 4 C8s.
Many C8 Corvette News YouTubers are making videos about the C8 Corvette Z06 being delayed until 2023 because of an article GM Authority wrote.
However, Chevrolet and General Motors hasn’t confirmed this news. It does make sense since Chevy is already having a hard time fulfilling the current base model C8 Stingray orders which started with the UAW strike, then Covid, and now part and chip shortages that are effecting the entire car market.
Here are the videos and leave a comment on what you think about when the C8 Z06 will come out and if you are on a list for one or not.
We are currently on 4 lists for the C8 Z06 and already built out our current C8 Corvette Z51 3LT. Recently, sold our NSX and ordered a Tesla Model S Plaid too. So we are done with building our current C8 Corvette and just going to wait on the C8 Z06 which if it does come in 2023 I bet a lot of people drop off the lists that some of these Chevy dealers like Criswell, MacMulkin, and Whitmoyer already created.
I bet Chevrolet or Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter will give an update by the end of August at Corvettes at Carlisle
Filter at 7,500 miles, then 22,500. Fluid every three years.
GM’s schedule for the C8 Corvette’s Tremec dual-clutch transmission calls for a new external canister filter at 7,500 miles, again at 22,500 miles, then every 22,500 miles. The transmission fluid is due at least every three years. GM pays for the first filter change only. Every later filter and every fluid change is on the owner.
I have owned four C8s (a Stingray, two Z06s and the ZR1 I have now) and daily driven them for years. The DCT filter is a small job with a big warranty attached, because GM reviews maintenance records on transmission claims. Here is what GM requires, what it costs, how hard each job is, and what the warranty does when the DCT acts up.
C8 dual-clutch service at a glance
The C8’s 8-speed dual-clutch is built by Tremec, and GM’s service articles call it the TR-9080. It has an external canister filter that GM treats as scheduled maintenance. GM’s TechLink article for dealer technicians sets the first filter change at 7,500 miles (12,000 km) and every 22,500 miles (36,000 km) after that. The letter GM mailed to owners, published by CorvetteBlogger in November 2024, names the odometer points: 7,500 miles, then 22,500 miles, then every 22,500 miles. That puts the filter services at 7,500, 22,500, 45,000 and 67,500 miles.
The fluid runs on a clock. The owner’s manual text GM quotes in that article says the transmission fluid must be changed at least every three years. If the car shows CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID SOON, you have the next 1,000 km (about 620 miles) to change both fluid and filter. If fluid life reads below 10 percent, replace both.
| Service | When it is due | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| First canister filter | 7,500 miles | GM, one time |
| Second canister filter | 22,500 miles | Owner |
| Later canister filters | 45,000, 67,500, 90,000 miles | Owner |
| Transmission fluid | Every 3 years at the latest | Owner |
| After a replacement transmission | 7,500 miles after install | GM, if the free one is unused |
The details that catch people out:
GM’s article names 2020 to 2024 Corvettes under transmission codes M1L and M1M. M1L is the code GM pairs with the Z51 package, so that is the Stingray unit. A third code, MLH, appears in GM’s 2025 repair article covering 2020 to 2025 cars. The warranty side is GM bulletin 24-NA-081, which covers the 2024 and 2025 Corvette as a model line and carves out no variant. CorvetteBlogger reported in November 2025 that 2025 and 2026 buyers sign a form at delivery confirming the same window: 7,000 to 8,000 miles, inside three years.
I could not find a GM document that sets a different interval for the Z06, E-Ray, ZR1 or ZR1X, or one that changes the numbers for 2027 cars. The schedule in the owner’s manual for your model year is what GM will hold you to. One procedure change is on record: for 2026 and newer cars, GM told dealers they can skip the hydraulic flush during the filter change, per CorvetteBlogger’s March 2026 report. The flush is still part of the fluid change.
GM specifies DCTF FFL-4 C8 Corvette transmission fluid. It is sold in 1-liter (1.06-quart) bottles under GM part number 19418016. GM tells technicians to shake the bottle hard before pouring, and a sealed bottle has a three-year shelf life. The filter comes as a canister filter kit. A GM parts vendor on Canadian Corvette Forums quoted it as part number 24045729 in May 2025. Part numbers get superseded, so confirm it against your VIN.
Capacity is where the two jobs split. One Corvette parts vendor lists the transmission’s approximate overhaul capacity at 11.62 quarts, about 11 liters. The canister filter holds 4 to 6 ounces, according to the forum vendor, and GM allows the dealer one quart for top-off during a filter service.
GM publishes no retail price for either service. The dealer numbers below are owner-reported quotes from the threads that rank at the top of Google for these searches, so read them as a range. Parts prices are as listed in October 2026.
| Item | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| What GM pays a U.S. dealer for the covered filter service | $250 | GM bulletin 24-NA-081 |
| Dealer filter change, owner-reported | $800 | r/C8Corvette thread |
| Dealer fluid and filter, owner-reported | $1,300+ | CorvetteForum thread |
| Canister filter kit, DIY | $195 to $199.99 | Wildhammer Motorsports, Paragon Performance |
| FFL-4 fluid per liter, DIY | $42.00 to $46.18 | Wildhammer Motorsports, Paragon Performance |
GM reimburses a U.S. dealer $250 for the covered filter service, while owners have posted retail quotes of $800 for the filter and more than $1,300 for fluid and filter. In parts, the filter kit is $195 to $199.99 and the fluid is $42.00 to $46.18 a liter. A DIY filter change is one kit plus a liter for top-off, about $240. A full fluid change at $42.00 a liter is $462 in fluid if you buy all 11 liters. The gap is labor: the forum vendor says dealers book 3.5 hours for the filter alone.
This is an outline so you can judge the job, not a replacement for GM service information. I am not printing torque values I cannot source.
I would let the dealer do the 7,500-mile filter every time. GM pays for it once, and the claim puts the service in the records GM reviews on a transmission claim. After that the filter is a fair driveway job. The fluid change is the one I would pay for.
Paragon Performance walks through the canister filter change start to finish, including the tools you need. The video has been on this site since June 2021, so the car is an early Stingray and it predates the flush guidance above. The mileage points in its description match GM’s schedule.
GM has a separate rule for track days. A Stingray with the M1L transmission and Z51 gets two additional liters of fluid before track use. Transmissions coded M1M or MLH need no track fill, and neither does any car with what GM calls a Die 3 case, which bulletin 23-NA-156 identifies. The side-plug method is in how to add the extra DCT fluid, and the rest of the checklist is in how to prepare a C8 for the track.
The DCT falls under Chevrolet’s Powertrain Limited Warranty, which Chevrolet lists as typically 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Bumper-to-Bumper coverage is 3 years or 36,000 miles. Per Chevrolet’s warranty page, transmission coverage includes the case, internally lubricated parts, seals, gaskets and internal electrical components.
Coverage is tied to maintenance. GM says missing canister filter service may affect coverage, and a previous owner’s missed service can count against you, so ask for filter records before you buy a used C8. The exception GM names is case porosity, which is not affected by missed maintenance.
Repair or replace depends on the fault. Until September 2025, a park lock valve fault meant a complete transmission. GM has since released parts and a service procedure for the valve and harness on 2020 to 2025 Corvettes. CorvetteBlogger puts a replacement transmission at $20,000 or more. The owner cases this site followed in 2021 and 2022 ended three ways: a control module reset and relearn, a valve body, or a new transmission under warranty.
| Issue | Cars | What GM did |
|---|---|---|
| Gasket leaks, and debris on the park position sensor magnet | 2020 to 2021 | Filed paperwork with NHTSA, reported December 2021, and had dealers send in 7,500-mile filters (GM Authority) |
| Park sensor drift | See bulletin | Service bulletin 23-NA-176 |
| Dislodged snap ring in the direct clutch assembly | See bulletin | Service bulletin 23-NA-197 |
| Park lock valve faults | 2020 to 2025 | Valve and harness parts released September 2025 |
Everything in that table is a service bulletin or a GM technician article, not a safety recall. A bulletin is applied when a car shows the symptom. To see recalls open on your car, run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. The wider list is in my C8 Corvette problems guide.
Replace Transmission Filter Soon and CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID SOON are maintenance reminders, not faults. For a real fault, this is the order I would work in:
Not every driveline failure is the gearbox. I broke a rear half shaft launching my Stingray, which is an axle problem, not a DCT problem.
GM calls for the external canister filter at 7,500 miles, again at 22,500 miles, and every 22,500 miles after that. Changing it early does not move the schedule. A filter done before 7,000 miles still has to be done again near 7,500.
At least every three years, according to the owner’s manual text GM quotes for dealers. It is also due when the car displays CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID SOON, which gives you about 620 miles, or when fluid life reads below 10 percent.
GM publishes no retail price. Owners have posted dealer quotes of $800 for the filter change and more than $1,300 for fluid and filter together. In parts, the filter kit is about $195 to $200 and FFL-4 fluid is $42 to $46 a liter.
The DCT fixes covered here are service bulletins, including 23-NA-176 for park sensor drift and 23-NA-197 for a dislodged clutch snap ring, not safety recalls. Bulletins are applied when a car shows the symptom. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
CorvetteBlogger puts a replacement dual-clutch at $20,000 or more. Inside the 5-year, 60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty a covered failure is repaired at GM’s cost, and GM reviews your maintenance records on the claim. Park lock valve faults on 2020 to 2025 cars can now be repaired instead.

Check out this video by YouTuber “Jaysmizle” where he recorded a Chevrolet Dealer service technician took his car that was in for service over 15 miles and over 100MPH!
He had to bring it back to them after having other electrical and frunk issues and he has about 3k miles on it per his other C8 Corvette videos explaining his experience so far with the car.
Per his C8 video description of the service tech taking over 100MPH:
This video definitely hurt to make….PLEASE hit the like button for more people to see this! I reviewed my PDR because I noticed it had a lot of extra miles on it and what I saw was infuriating.. What will GM or Chevy do about this?? THANK GOD the police/CHP didn’t stop this guy for driving recklessly and impound my car for 30days.
Check out this video from Rick Conti on What to expect, What’s Included, and When to do the First C8 Corvette Service and oil change.
One really nice thing is GM (General Motors) pays for the first C8 Corvette service.
Here are more videos on how to change the oil on your C8 Corvette if you decide to do it yourself. The DCT filter bolts has to be screwed in at 53 inch pounds torque spec.
Check out this video by Great White North Corvette as he shows two different ways to open your C8 Corvette glove box if it stops working all of a sudden as it did for him a few times.
This can especially be helpful if your pulled over and the glove box stops opening all of sudden. You won’t have time or the tools for the first option but the second option of banging on it a bit while you push the button could work.
Check out this video by Brink of Speed on YouTube where he shows you how you can turn your 2020 C8 Corvette into a 2021 or 2022 with Apple Car Play.
The device is called CarlinKit and can be found on Amazon. It will turn your 2020 C8 Corvette into a wireless Apple Car Playing machine.
The one feature that was added to the 2021 Corvettes that I really wished the 2020s had, is wireless Apple CarPlay.
Check out this step by step video on how to change your brakes, (front and rear brake pads) on the C8 Corvette.
Per AB’s Garage video description of the C8 Brake Pad Change
In this video we do a front brake pad change on a 2020 C8 Corvette with the Z51 performance package. The new mid engine platform has brought the Corvette to the next level but from my experience working on this current generation, they are still relatively easy to service. That being said, hopefully you find this video still very helpful!
Also, here is another video by Paragon Performance where we purchased our Girodisc Rotors and Carbotech 1521 brake pads for low brake dust.
Change out your extremely high dusting brake pads on your C8 Corvette Z51 at home with only a few simple tools! We walk you through, step by step, on how to change your front brake pads. The Carbotech 1521 is a very low dusting and low noise compound that we highly recommend you change out if you like to keep your car clean and improve your braking.
KNS Brakes also created a video to show you how to change your brakes on your C8 Corvette.
The 2020 C8 Corvette includes a laundry list of firsts–including eBoost brakes. In this video, we provide an overview of the C8 Corvette braking system and then show you how to change the brake pads when the time comes.
It’s a little bit different than maintaining a traditional brake system, so there are certain tools you’ll need and a specific order to follow. The C8 eBoost, or brake-by-wire, system offers some distinct advantages. Specifically, the system allows you to adjust the brakes, depending on what driving mode you’re using.
Our C8 Corvette has already seen significant track and Autocross time, so we’re ready to swap in a new set of pads.
If you are looking for more information on how to lower your C8 Corvette we have posted about that with multiple options here.
However, besides the lowering collars that are used mostly for C8 Corvette Z51 cars with the front lift or KW Suspension that came out with coil overs as well seen on Gabe Florido’s C8 Corvette, Paragon Performance just launched C8 Corvette lowering springs.
