Z06 Brake Conversion Questions

Has anyone converted their C6 brakes to Z06 brakes?
How did it go?
Any problems?
Any recommendations?

Thanks, Mike

A bunch of guy's did. You need longer brake lines in the rear and new wheels that will clear the calipers.

Z06 brakes

Just finished doing the conversion, I have a Z51 package so everything bolted right on.
I used the following

16oz bottle of brake fluid
Front rotors
Rear rotors
Front and rear brake lines
Front and rear calipers
Brake pads for the front and rear calipers
Looks

Anyone have a list of common wheel setups that clear the Z06 brakes?

I wonder if those LG wheels clear those brakes or the stop-techs. Nice price on them too.

I believe they will not clear the Z06 brakes (at least the front ones wont).

I wonder if Lou and the guys could spec a set to fit the BBK's specifically?
