Ive been eyeing a set like this but wondering how the w6a holds up to track use. I know the aero6 is the more updated version but seems lad change will be more painful.

any thoughts from Todd or others with experience on wilwood products?

If you can find a set they will do you fine for all but the most hard core use. Wilwood doesn't have any of them in stock. I bought nearly all of them when they were replaced by the Aerolite.

Thanks for the info.
1 more question: If I go w the 2 piece replacement rotors and the w6a caliper will I need spacers to fit OE wheels?

18" front for sure. I used them with 2017 C7 Z51 rims at one point. On the forum I found a C6 owner that had Gumbys and used a 7mm (1/4") spacer.

The Caliper kit fits the 14" Z06 rotor so you'd need to be certain of purchasing the 2pc hat and rotor that replaces that, not the 2pc hat and rotor found in the full on Aero6 front BBK- the offsets are not the same.

Todd, could the rear calipers be spaced up like the fronts have been modified, to allow Z rotors be used on the rear like the fronts have been modified?

Already been discussed above:

It's not trivial. Todd @TCE did the Z06 upgrade to my bracket(s). My DBA rotor size is: 355mm rear and 380mm front......Z06. Remove some spacers...Z51.

Just to be clear, the Z06 rotor size is 355mm front or 14" and the rears are 340mm rear 13". My mistake. 380 and 355 are the larger ZR1 ceramic disks.

C6 Z06 Rears are 13.4" hence the change discussed above. Fronts are 14 yes.
