Those rotors really fill up the space in the wheels. Nice look.

Thanks for the kind words!

WOW!

I didnt know Brembo has an 8/4 setup!!

If I ever need a new brake system... that will be the one!!

Come to think of it... I think mine was acting up the other day...

Could it be time to upgrade again???

Big Brakes

I am wondering if those babies will fit my ZO6 18 inch wheels and I found out a interesting thing my C5 13 inch front rotors and calipers will bolt up to my rear brackets so that means that I should be able to mount those big *** Calipers on the rear too. Tell me if I am wrong, 15's or 14's on my C5 brackets you know ( Mores Law ) Bigger is Better, Enjoy Claude.

These brakes will fit Z06 wheels... with a small spacer. However... you will have to buy a used set as this kit is not currently available. STOPTECH brake system is a great replacement for this system as it comes in front and rear. If you want to go to the fantastic BREMBO systems shown in this thread it will require a custom set of wheels.

Hope that helps!!
