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.

The first set is mine. Thanks Gene!! You guys have been a big help on this project. Can't wait to bolt these bad boys up with the new wheels. 99blackfrc will hopefully have that little LS7 running soon so we'll be set

Dont even think about getting these brakes unless you have a 18" or larger front wheel. Supposedly these just barely clear some of the 18" 5 spoke repros I have seen pictures of.
Awesome brakes!!

I told him a couple weeks ago I wanted to preorder a set and he said he would add me to the list... whatever that means..
What did he say they are going to sell for when they get more in? Some were saying they were going to be $1695
