Default 16" rear drag setup...

Has anyone found out how to put a 16" rear wheel/slick setup on a new C6 yet?

Where are you going to find a rotor/caliper/bracket that will fit inside that small of a wheel?

The classic C5 CCW drag package can be made to fit, just have to grind the calipers a bit, something most C6 owners will not be willing to do I'm sure.
I wonder if the base suspension's brakes clear any better than the Z51s brakes do.
I'm sure CCW will be working on something to address this issue.

I looked at the suspension in detail today, maybe for the hardcore drag guys its a simple change over to the C5 calipers.
