Default Z06 Brake Conversion Instructions
Does anyone have some good instructions for converting the C6 brakes to the Z06 brakes? Looks pretty simple, but that's usually when I make all the mistakes.

The section on replacing calipers, rotors, and pads out of a Z06 service manual would be great. Anyone?

I guess I did it right cause I was able to drive 500 miles so far and no brake pads have fallen out! I do have a TON of red brake dust tho... :o

I can forward you what Johnodrake sent me from the service manual.

These are Z06 ceramic pads, for all four corners (20 pads)? Ceramic, as in no dust?
