I have been forwarded your email by PBR in Australia for follow

aftermarket. If something changes I will let you know.

Sounds like it won't be too long before Fred Bean gets them in. I'd be interested in knowing if you could fit the rear '06 Z06 caliper under the stock '01-04 Z06 wheel. That could make for a really cheap upgrade to a 4 piston non-floating caliper.

DAMN!!!
Those are the shizzizle...
Add another $1.6K to my wish list. I don't believe they'll ever find a cure for MOD FEVER!!!
Wonder if they'll fit under my Ace "Slick" 18X9.5/19x11 wheels?

Actually, that is incorrect. It is for 4 calipers, pads!!, rotors and there are no brackets needed. Believe it or not the pads are like 400 bucks for front and rear!

Great... $100 per wheel for pads. Anyone know if these are notorious DUSTERS?
(I supposed I should really ask this in the Z06 forum)...

Hey everyone,
I sent an email to Satisfied Brakes asking about replacement brake pads for the new Z06.
I just received a reply from one of their Product Managers and here is what he had to say:
At least they are creating aftermarket pads for the Z06 and one could assume that other companies are as well

Jack,
Pads are not available at this time,they are in tooling process and should become available by end of year.

J, I agree, GM has never used coated rotors. I think the Z51's tend to get more rust, and fling more rust, because of the cross drilling.
