switching the fronts to the rear isn't a good option...
leaving the rears as is will be okay as the bias is so far forward. that and we really don't get a whole lot of heat in the rears as to need a rear kit. The rear rotors will help alone..

and no matter how much you pull the linings in, I swear the stupid things still drag based on the blueing you get on the rotor "drum" surface 
you can assure zero drag if you just toss 'em

T1 C5s use 17x10 front and 17x11 rears. Some folks run 315's square and others use 295 fronts.......its just a preference thing.
C6s have the option to use the 18s or downsize to the 17s (the Z51 brakes weren't legal so both ran with the smaller C55 Z06 size brakes) and most owners already had the 17s on the trailer.
Will have to check the TCS when published this month but am sure it will be 18x10...........

I wonder if we could run new 18" ccws on front with the big calipers and then new bigger calipers rear and the old rear 17x11 ccws and have clearance so we only had to buy front wheels. Rolling diameters would still be about the same. We could convert with new lips the old front CCWs to 17 by 11's and use them on rear so it is not a total waste?

A friend of mine has a set that were rebuilt by wilwood for sale with hats and disks for 900.00 Let me know and I will get you his number.
his reply about the set-up: Have a completely rebuilt (by Wilwood) set of 6 piston SL6 Front Calipers (red) with rotors and hats. These will fit the 17" rims. $900.00

I was confused on the 18x10" thing I read on that too. Don't they mean 18x10.5" so we could run OEM rear wheels on all 4 corners?
Do you guys run 315's on the 17x10 front CCW's too?
Maybe we can get a group buy on the sl6. It seems like many are thinking this way due to cost. However, some say the sl6 is not much of an upgrade except for caliper longevity. maybe that's why scca did not give it the 50lb penalty that all other aftermarket calipers get when run with an 18" front wheel?

Any news on Group buys or who has the best deal yet? Sounds like we need to opt for the Thermolock pistons as well in this kit.
Any T1 C5 guys got em yet or what you gonna do? Rules are still a little confusing or is it just me? Are we allowed to run a 2 piece REAR rotor in stock dimensions, I did see we can loose the WHOLE P-Brake assembly too.
Headers, what are you doing and what brand. Should we get a group buy going on that too.
If you don't want to post here and want to chat by PM, then hit me up!

SL6R Parts List under $1000 Complete
Here's what I used:
Wilwood 120-6143-RS and 120-6144-RS $600/pr
These are the fullsize, with Thermolock stainless pistons, trailing mount
They use the 7420 pads 20.4mm thick, I use Cobalt Friction CBR.XR2.RC7/20mm.
XR3's also work well if you want a little less intial bite.
LG Brackets $349/pr
1/8 NPT male - 3AN male steel adapter from Pegasus $3.50/pr
