Just ran across these Mov'It German brakes. 14.5 "F and 13.4"R. They apparently fit under the stock wheels. You can purchase at Ultimate Garage. I e-mailed 'em for the prices. http://movit.de/
That brake setup looks like, cracked rotor heaven. The cross drilling, too much pad surface, too much heat. Wait, the pads are really small, they just have a lot of big red caliper. Good luck guys.

The holes are cast not drilled. I've had personal experience with cast holes, although not on a vette, and they do not crack. After 50k miles they started having hairline cracks around the holes, but I can deal with that every 50k miles.
The one vendor in the states doesn't sell them anymore, they wanted too much liability insurance.(?) I contacted a Canada vendor that can order them and will get back with me on a price.
I sent an email also to Movit directly, and got this reply back. I guess they misread that I wanted C6 info.
But given the prices they list, I expect just the front kit to be north of $3500.
