Default I Need Help

I have a 2008 C6 with the Z51 package.

#1 I need new brakes and would like to go aftermarket. I want to stay with the original sized wheels, what would be the best brake and roter package that I could put on the car.

#2 I am in need of a high end shop to do the installation in Sacramento CA or near by. Does anyone have any recommendations. Who is really good specializing in Corvettes

Thanks

Chris

MSI is in Roseville and I've heard great things. http://www.motorsportimage.com/ They're a sponsored vendor.

I will likely be getting mine tuned there pretty soon.

A company travels around with "the drivers edge" events in texas..

AJ from Performance speed tech dot com has a set of BBKs that fit our C6s without having to get new wheels..

The other method is to get the ACE slick aftermarket wheel or the LGMotorsports new GT3 wheel that are C6 offset and have enough clearance for the BBK

neither of these methods require a front Z06 widebody
