If you have upgraded your Corvette’s performance, you will want these SKF front and rear racing hubs. The 1997-2010 Corvette SKF Heavy Duty Wheel Bearing Assemblies are designed to provide high stiffness during cornering, thereby reducing piston knock-back and the need to tap your Corvette’s brakes.

1999-2008 Corvette Programmer
Whether you need power, performance, or improved drivability; Cortex from Superchips can provide it. The 1999-2008 Corvette Superchips Cortex Programmer includes multiple tunes with dyno-proven power and advanced data acquisition, plus it is the only programmer on the market that comes with an industry exclusive two-year vehicle powertrain warranty. For more information on how to use the Cortex programmer on your Corvette, click to download a pdf version of the Cortex Programmer Instruction Manual.
Proven to add 11.7 horsepower and 11 lb-ft of torque on the stock C6 LS2 Corvette engine, the Superchips Cortex Programmer provides you the ability to safely tune your Corvette without the risk of lowering the overall performance of the car. Some tuners are only recommended for professionals, but the Cortex offers an advanced tune without risking damage to your Corvette. In the event that damage to the engine or transmission is a direct result from the programmer all problems will be covered in Cortex’s 2 year powertrain warranty, which only includes vehicles that have less than 100k miles.
Cortex Dyno Test - LS2
Features of the Cortex Programmer include:
C5/C6 Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
Stock C5 & C6 Corvette aluminum driveshafts can “whip” at high RPM’s, which can eventually lead to a bent or broken driveshaft. By upgrading to a carbon fiber Corvette driveshaft you will not have to worry about bending or breaking your Corvette’s stock driveshaft as the carbon fiber will not change shape at high RPM’s. Zip’s new carbon fiber driveshaft is stronger and lighter than the stock driveshaft and unlike the factory setup, you will not have to worry about vibration issues caused by bends or breaks. In the event of a driveline failure the carbon fiber driveshaft will “broom”, which will just polish the inside of the torque tube instead of causing a complete failure.
Our carbon fiber driveshaft will bolt-in to a 2001-2010 C5/C6 Corvette with a manual 6 Speed Transmission and provide instant reliability and safety for any C5/C6 Corvette owner who enjoys pushing the limits of their Corvette. If you own a 1997-2000 Corvette and would like to upgrade to a carbon fiber driveshaft you may do so but will have to upgrade your Corvette’s 10mm torque tube to the newer 12mm tube found in 2001 and later Corvettes. The carbon fiber driveshaft is a must have if you are involved with any type of racing or are looking to add impressive acceleration to your Corvette.
Corvette CV Joint Boots
Though they may not seem like much your C5 or C6 Corvette’s Inner & Outer CV Joint Boots play a key role in keeping your Corvette on the road. They are prone to cracking or splitting, which can have multiple negative effects on the drive-ability of your Corvette. Besides allowing contamination into the CV joint itself and causing premature wear of the bearings, cracked CV joint boots allow grease to be slung out of the boot, which can saturate your Corvette’s Brakes. This would not only cause an increase in braking distances but can also ruin your Corvette’s brake pads and rear rotors. If you have replaced your Corvette’s rear brake components or upgraded to performance brake pads & rotors, you know that brake rotor and pad replacements can get very expensive.
Until now the only sure way to avoid damage from bad CV joint boots was to replace the expensive CV axle shaft, which comes with new inner and outer CV joint boots. With the recent addition of our C5 & C6 Corvette Inner & Outer CV Joint Boot Kits you can now replace your Corvette’s CV joint boots without spending hundreds of dollars for the entire axle shaft. We have inner and outer CV joint boots for all C5, C6, Z06, Z51, Grand Sport, & ZR1 Corvettes. Each kit includes one inner or outer boot, clamps, & the correct amount of grease to replace a single boot.
C6 160 Thermostat
Until now, Corvette Parts vendors have been selling 2004-2008 style Corvette thermostats to 2009-2010 Corvette owners. With the appearances of the two 160 degree thermostats being so similar it is easy to understand why. We want all 2009-2010 Corvette owners to know that the 2004-2008 style thermostat, even though it does fit, will not work properly on your Corvette and will cause a leak.
C6 Coolant Leak
What is different on the new C6 Corvette 160 Degree Thermostat is the size. GM changed the size of the thermostat on all 2009-2010 Corvettes, which causes sealing issues when installing a 2004-2008 style thermostat. We offer and stock Motorad 160 degree thermostats for all 2009-2010 Corvettes. Motorad is an OEM supplier and has designed a direct replacement 160 degree thermostat that literally drops in place. With this addition to your 2009-2010 Corvette you can now improve your Corvette’s overall performance by allowing the engine to run cooler than the factory thermostat’s setting. Cooler running engines produce greater horsepower and operate more efficiently. If you are looking for a more efficient C6 Corvette Engine consider this direct replacement 160 degree thermostat that uses the stock housing and installs in about 10 minutes.

Chrome Corvette Wheels look great no matter what year, body style, or color your Corvette may be. They are not exactly the cheapest upgrade over the stock Corvette Wheels, but as most people would agree, the brilliance added to the Corvette from a new set of chrome wheels is well worth the cost. For those of you who have spent your fare share of money purchasing chrome Corvette Wheels here are a few recommendations that should help you get the most out of your purchase.
Corvette Chrome Wheels
Before your chrome wheels are installed on your Corvette for the first time we recommend purchasing some of Adam’s Americana Premium Carnauba Paste Wax. The paste wax is very important as this is what will ultimately protect your chrome wheels from contaminants. Once your chrome wheels have been installed on your Corvette apply the carnauba paste wax to the wheels as you would normally apply the wax to the Corvette. By waxing your chrome Corvette Wheels you are essentially filling in all of the small pores in the chrome, creating a protective layer between the wheel and brake dust or any other corroding substances. While in between waxings we recommend cleaning your Chrome Corvette Wheels with basic soap and water. Any special chrome wheel cleaner can strip the wax, which could do more harm then good as the wheels age. Every two months or so it would be good to re-wax the wheels so the protective layer is always kept fresh.
For C5 & C6 Corvette owners who have pushed their factory Corvette brakes to the max, we now have a Z06 Corvette Brake Caliper & Rotor Kit that will upgrade your Corvette’s brakes to the massive C6 Z06 braking system. This C5 & C6 Corvette brake upgrade kit is complete with every part needed including new GM mounting hardware. With the brake kit you will receive our heavy duty two-piece Corvette Rotors, made in the USA DOT approved stainless steel brake hoses, Hawk ceramic front and rear brake pads, and brand new GM C6 Z06 Corvette Brake Calipers.
Corvette Brake Caliper & Rotor Kit
Our two-piece 14″ rotor and hat assemblies are made in the USA and weigh only 16.25 pounds. Each Coleman Racing rotor (which are used in NASCAR, Desert Race Trucks and more) is gas veined and custom machined for the Z06 Corvette. The aluminum hats are machined from 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum that is hard coated black anodized. The hat and rotors are held together with NAS fasteners, which are used in both aircraft and spacecraft production.
As advertised our stainless steel braided brake hoses are included in this Corvette Brake Upgrade Kit. They come with Teflon lining that will far outlast rubber hoses, plus deliver a firmer pedal. These stainless hoses will bolt right on, are heat resistant, and completely street legal. As mentioned, they are also DOT approved and made in the USA.
The Hawk Corvette Brake Pads included in the brake upgrade kit are a low noise compound that offers ultimate stopping power and creates an ultra-low amount of dust. The premium, high performance compound called performance ceramic is engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) in Corvettes, creating a quieter performing brake pad. Furthermore, the ceramic brake pad formula has a linear friction profile that allows your ABS brake system to work more effectively. With performance ceramic brake pads you can expect reduced brake pad wear, lower dust output levels and a rotor-friendly brake pad. By using Hawk Corvette Brake Pads you will see and increase in stopping power, rotor life, and pad life while maintaining an ultra-low amount of dust and noise.
Lastly you will also receive a set of new GM C6 Z06 Corvette Brake Calipers with this brake upgrade kit. The set of four Corvette calipers come ready to bolt on using the caliper mount bolts and caliper mount washers supplied with the kit. These brake calipers add the finishing touch to what is sure to be an immense upgrade to your C5, C5 Z06, or C6 Corvette Brake System.
We’ve just listed two very nice Corvettes on eBay:
2007 Z06 Corvette
The first is a like new 2007 Z06 Corvette. This vehicle only has 453 miles and is Victory Red with black leather interior. This Corvette was purchased from the Barrett Jackson auction Palm Beach last year by one of our elderly customers. He had no idea the strength of the LS7 505 hp engine. He does not feel comfortable driving the car and prefers his older, slower Corvettes. The Victory Red paint is flawless, there is not a scratch on the car. The car came with standard wheels but has been upgraded to chrome Z06 wheels, however both sets of wheels will come with the sale. The black leather interior still smells like new. The engine bay is unmolested and untouched. The car runs, drives and shifts like brand new. This Z06 would be a nice addition to any collection. Bid Now!
