Default Project ReGrip - Phase 1 complete

Phase 1 completed with CCW wheels and Bridgestone tires.

CCW 505A wheels and Bridgestone RE050A Tires

19" X 305's in the rear

18" X 275's up front

Phase 2 is Z51 brake upgrade with Hawk Pads

here is the front rotors and brackets

here are the rears

Ready for masking and painting. The rotor hats and fins will be painted duplicolor high heat aluminum to prevent rusting. The brackets duplicolor high heat black and I will also be painting the stock rotors with duplicolor red caliper paint.

Much thanks goes out to John and Chip at CCW and
Jason at Gulf Coast Performance

Both provided great assistance and customer service

Rotors and brackets are GM made and are from C6 Z51 pkg.
This is a direct bolt on for use with stock C5 calipers.
