C6 Z51 Rotors / Bracket / Pads
I know that I want:
1) C6 Z51 Rotors
2) C6 caliper brackets
3) Ceramic pads
4) Brake fluid to flush (just because its about time)
Someone had a great writeup on it including recommended ceramic pads, part numbers, lowest price online for the above, and even a gray high-temp spray paint that he put on the rotors to prevent rust. I can't for the life of me find the thread though, just vague mention about requiring 18" wheels and the like.
Does anyone recall that information or have a link to it? Thank you!

And of course right when I'm about to give up, I partially answer my own question:
89060328 – Front Brake Rotors
89060329 – Rear Brake Rotors
88964166 – Front Brake Caliper Bracket
88964167 – Rear Brake Caliper Bracket
Total I've found is $515, unless someone knows of a cheaper place. Got that part down at least.

Honestly, it's fairly simple since all you do is remove the wheel and then the caliper and bracket assembly.
Just purchase the rotors and brackets and get yourself the ceramics and you're ready to rock.
I'd love to earn your business!

The thing that kills me is how much GM charges for a silly little bracket. Realistically, the front swap should only cost $200 max since we are reusing the stock calipers, but that isn't happening any time soon.

stop by Cajundude's shop in Houston, he can get them installed in about an hour, talk to him about the install cost
if you have Jason do the work, go through him for parts
otherwise Gene
they fit behind Z06 17" wheels up front, real tight, but it fits, I read it on the forum
