Everything looks great man. What does a full conversion like this entail? Calipers, pads, rotors.. what else?

Can you still use your ebrake? I've looked through their website many times but haven't ever really figured out if it still functions.

Looks good those are the best ccw in my opinion. I always like ss hood , ss spoiler (much better than the 3 piece ad on one) with stock gfx even tho I don't want to do it to mine and people hate gfx on these cars.

I am a big fan of the body kit and an even bigger fan of the CCW wheels. Either way, your car is beautiful and I love seeing clean *** Pewter F-Bodies.

The brakes and wheels look great. Had the gfx on my old pewter camaro as well, I always enjoyed it.

I 'll cosign what everyone else said.

What other suspension mods are done to car already & how well they play with new wheels & brakes?

Pretty sure they are CCW SP550's. The SP550's have a thicker spoke design than the SP500's.

Their website is a bit hard to navigate. Which MM kits did you use? What was your total cost?

I bought the front bracket and brake lines from Kore3. The picture in this link is the front bracket http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10105-03 I called and told him what I needed. On the rear I modified my factory bracket to make it work. I bought the calipers and rotors from my local dealership.

SP550 they had to modify the wheel so I could get a 2 inch lip up front and 3 inch in the rear and clear the calipers

If you have the 4 channel abs (cars with tcs) he does not make a bracket you have to get rid of your parking brake. I modified my factory bracket and parking shoe to make it work.
