Why do you need Brembo brakes AND Z06 calipers?

If you buy the Z06 calipers, can I have your Brembo's?

A Very wise man told me "When you're dead ... you're dead for long time".

Besides, I just got Baer rotor package and you probably have enough in your piggy bank to get those!

This how I look at buying goodies for the Vette. It's only money and I'll make more. Seriously, I know none of us ever get our money back on these mods but I enjoy improving the product. Just ordered a Lloyds cargo mat from a Forum member and saved a nice piece of change on it. I'm in a holding pattern on a set of Z06 mufflers. Just waiting to hear from another Forum member.
Enjoy the ride.
