Soooo Sexy
I don't even want to put them on my car....
Double offset TA's from VanSteel along with all bearings and mounting hardware.
SS emergency brake kit from corvette central.
Slotted/crossdrilled rotors from place in CA (invoice at home)
Gary (gtr1999) did the transplant from the original stock TA's to the new offsets. Blasted, painted, and installed everything. Set runnout and did an amazing job. Thanks again Gary.
...now what color to paint the stock calipers? red 68 vert...b/w red, silver, or black. any sug?

I'd suggest a full caliper rebuild with VBP Oring kit.
Also, try to at least check and minimize the runout on your new rotors.
Good luck and have fun

It's the presentation of the whole package.
If the slip dangles a bit below the dress, you better make sure it's a damn fine slip...
