Default 2006 Z06 Brake Update!

Hi All,
With great pleasure I tell you that things are starting to roll with the brake setup. I've had plenty of rotors for quite some time. Now the calipers are starting to roll in. The problem child is the brake pads themselves right now, but I am working with GM on all of these items to get them to our valued forum members.

Next week, we will be receiving 3 complete sets of calipers, which we already have rotors for. I have 2 sets promised to 2 customers already and the 3rd set will be placed on eBay.

Remember, we are one of the first dealers in the whole country to receive these items. We are on the cutting edge of this stuff so that you may get it first!

Enjoy!

Here are a couple pics to get you guys revved up.

They look great. I am just hoping the look is backed by the stopping power....

If I am not mistaken from looking at these a wile back you will need the 18" wheels up front, rotors and I do believe they bolt right up.

Hey Gene,

Are the rotors left and right? I've heard that GM only had one side availible, and what about pads, are they availible yet?

And is one of these sets mine?
