MOV IT brakes
Has anyone installed MOV IT brakes? Just wondering if they're on with your stock wheels and how you like them?

I have them. My buddy sells them in the east 1/2 of the country!
They fit the stock wheels ( with spacers) perfectly and they are fantastic. I went to Germany ( with my car) this past June and had the rears installed by the owner of the company! My friend and I installed the fronts previously. I got an in depth tour of the factory, and lots of face time with Guido ( the owner). The man is a walking encyclopedia of brakes! To see the process and have each facet of the brake system explained in minutest detail ( with direct hands on comparisons with other BBKs) was a real eye-opener. Engineering and materials wise, MoVits are the Swiss watches of BBKs. Yeah, they are really expensive, but if you need or want no compromise brakes that will pull you down from really insane speeds again and again without any fade or drama (ask me how I know), Movits are a great BBK.

Without a doubt the best brakes out there - period!
Just do ONE (HARD) test drive and you know you simply HAVE to have those.
I´ll get my new Vette on a Saturday: on Monday I´ll get the MOVIT ( and a coil over) installed.
On a C6 you can use the 370 6-pad on the front and the 340 4-pad on the back - bolt on (just use spacers).

Well I´m in Germany so I wouldn´t know about US prices. In Germany the price tag for the above mentioned reads around 10 k€ (that´s 15k$), but they made me an offer I can´t refuse....
I know that´s serious money, but this is the max you can do bolt-on: if you´re not into long term VERY hard driving ( I´m a regular on the (in)famous Nurburgring race track) you might just use the 340 6-pad front brakes, save half the money and still have anchor-like braking.

I have the 6 piston 340 fronts and 4 piston 340s rear and it's a great package. Less than 1/2 of your quoted price.
