Default C6 Z51 Fixed Caliper Solutions?

Looking to step up from the stock floaters to some fixed calipers without going all the way to a BBK for some better brake modulation and decreased caliper flex at HPDEs.

Anyone replace JUST the calipers? I was thinking about replacing with some Stoptech ST40/60s or Wilwood SL6/4s if someone sold just the calipers with the adapter brackets. I suppose I could always machine the brackets myself if I needed to.

LGM has caliper brackets to mount Wilwood SL6 calipers if you're willing to run C5/base C6 sized rotors. You might be able to space out the SL6 for the Z51 rotors, but those calipers are really designed for a 13" rotor. I don't know if you'll fit them under the stock wheels.

I run the LGM brackets, with full sizes SL6R calipers, and NAPA/C5/base C6 rotors under CCW C140s. Plenty of clearance.
