Default New Brake Pics Inside...

I just did the C5 front brake upgrade using Z06 calipers. Also did 2pc Eradispeed drilled and slotted rotors. I know you've seen it all before, but here are a few pics:





And in case you're wondering, I am very happy with the results.

Yeah, I love the looks. Don't know about braking improvement yet as I'm still in the "rotor seasoning" period and haven't stood up on 'em yet.

Can't speak for the others, but Jeff's bracket is amazing. A beautiful piece indeed! With the nickel plating and all it is almost too pretty to hide behind the calipers!
