After going full wide body, I thought that my base brakes looked a little lost behind my wheels, although I didnt need the upgraded performance of the bigger calipers. I just searched the for sale section and found a great looking Z06 take off set for $1100 shipped which included all four calipers, rotors and SS brake lines.

the new ones are larger diameter stock C6 were 18” front an 19” rear, these are 19” front an 20” rear, was hoping to find stock information for larger rotors and calipers to keep from having to buy 2k brake kit, like what C6 or C7 rotors An calipers that use 3 piston front an vented rotors an make a easy upgrade and less expensive
