Default Brake testing.

Went and tested my wilwood brakes on a mountain road today. They really haul the car down quick.

Gotta flush the old fluid still with Motul 600. Juat waiting on my power bleeder to be delivered here in Korea.

Next up are the Viking coilovers and poly bushings. Can't wait to find the time for that.

They are rare here. I do know one guy that track races a Z06 in a 400 rwhp class. Mostly against modified Hyundai Genesis coupes. I have seen another 5 here. More c6s though. I think they sold the c6 here for about 4 years.

Thanks. The rims are xo Veronas. Not very expensive and heavy as hell. But they look good.

The brakes and rotors look great on the car and good to know they work very well too. I too like the wheels although the HRE center caps are different.
