How is that setup coping with your newfound 1000whp?
Good call on the roof! Too many people doing that. Makes the car look like a 4th gen Camaro roof

You're running C6 Base rear brakes to run 15's correct?

I'm about to buy spindles. I have bigger Z51 brakes. Do I need C5 kit or can grind? Please only respond if you have exact answer. Thanks.

You can use your caliper, but you need the base rotors (either C6 or C5) and the caliper mount bracket (C6 base or I assume C5 base?)
I have the Z51 calipers, C6 base bracket, C5 base rotors and I still had to grind a lot out of my calipers

It also depends on which wheel you get. I had the racestars and had to only grind the ribs off the caliper. When I switched to the weld rts I had to grind a lot more off the caliper and lower control arm.

For the ABS light not to trip does the rear need to be taller/higher than the front or vice versa? Thanks.

You need to maintain the same ratio of front to rear diameter

You would be able to clear a 17. Call weld I'm sure they can point you in the right direction

17" weld RTS do not clear the caliper with Z51 brakes.

They should. If a 17 clears z06 brakes that are much larger, then just the right offset should easily clear a z51 caliper.
