Will Z06 steel brake calipers/rotors fit on a base model? I know you will need to upgrade to 19/20" wheels to clear the larger calipers but wanted to know if the parts would even fit..

Really? Well thats good to know. But, is this a direct upgrade for the base model or are other things necessary such as Z06 front knuckles, etc? Meaning can I buy just the calipers, rotors and pads and have everything I need or are more things necessary to do the conversion??

I found the ZL1 kit on line for $2905, I wonder if it is a direct bolt up. The rotor is also only 14.6" it could potentially fit under an 18" Wheel.

The Wilwood 4 wheel kit fits under 18's and is only $3400 for a 4 wheel kit.

We've already completed selling our first Z06 brake conversion. It was the Z07 brake option with the carbon ceramic rotors. It was approximately $12,500 with all of the discounts just for the brake setup. It is already up and running.

Gene have you done a kit for the Z51 using the Z06 Fronts? Is it a direct swap?

This was on a base model car? I can't imagine they fit under stock wheels.
