Corrado, I think you put more kms on your Corvette per year than any of us, and yours is lowered quite nicely and it seems to be doing just fine

The Z06 and GS brakes are one and the same Stan - no difference.

The Z51 will fit - no issues - the Z06 and GS brakes are a different story...you should test fit beforehand...

Not this season Patman, (working for a living gets in the way of everything!)
I think that honour probably goes to Randy, "I'm in my car before you finish saying the word CRUISE!" God bless him.

My car is only lowered in the rear, with custom bolts Devon Powel did for me. Had to bring the front back to about stock height years ago as it was too low with the wider wheels and tore up my inner fenderwell once on a speed bump.

Stan's car sits nicely with those wheels, looked really good last night, some Vettes seem really high, I wouldn't be surprised if his was already lowered on the stock bolts already.

Really lowered cars do look awesome, but not practical when the car gets driven on a regular basis.
