Searching through C6 Corvette calipers it's a bit hard to tell which ones are specific to the ZR1 outside of the OEM blue caliper color, I'm just not familiar enough with them enough. ZR1 specific one's seem to be a bit harder to find?

All-in the parts list still comes in around $2,100 +/- w/ OEM rotors and pads, unless you stumble upon some used OEM ZR1 calipers for a good deal?
That also doesn't include any new brake lines, the caliper hardware kit, or ZR1 brake line banjo bolts referenced in the link.

Seems you're really not far from the price of a 16" Wilwood TX6R or TC6R front BBK w/ 2-piece rotors.

Searching around the forum here I found this thread:

Looks like earlier this year or even late 2020 you could piece together the ZR1 caliper option for <$1,500. At that price there’s obviously some savings there!

However the market today and continuing raw material costs that’s no longer doable. I think you’ll be hard pressed to source the ZR1 caliper option for <$2,000 being optimistic. Unless you stumble upon some used ZR1 calipers…
