Default C6 Z06 Rear Brakes--Pics

I did the fronts not too long ago, and just got done doing the rear. Not sure if anyone has done this yet, but here are a couple pics

Looks good! How hard was it to do the rear? Was it just pretty much all bolt on? Also, if you dont mind my asking, how much did the whole setup run you?

Wow, that car looks amazing! I really like that color, it seems to be pretty rare, I've never seen one in that color in person.

Thosr are probably one of my favorite wheel designs for these casr, and the red calipers look great.

As far as the brakes, that looks like some serious stopping power! Those rotors are huge! I really like the look of big brakes, most people thro on huge wheels and leave the stock brakes, it looks silly IMO.

It wasn't that hard, you just have to buy a bracket kit and it all bolts up. The only is I had to delete my e-brake setup in order for it to work. There is a kit you can get for the e-brake but is expensive. The whole setup cost me about $1500.

Thanks, it isn't a factory color, that probably why you have never seen it
Yeah after I got the wheels the stock brakes looked so small, and needed to do something.

I got all of my brackets from kore3.com. They have everything you need to do the conversion. The e-brake kit is $700. I just got the race kit which just gives you the brackets and the bolts, and you can't use the factory e-brake setup with that.

Looks great man, nice work.

Where did you buy the rotors and calipers from??

I wonder if this would work with the rear calipers from a CTS-V...because I'm already running a CTS-V setup up front with Z06 rotors.

Thanks, I'm sure it would. I work for a chevy dealer so I just got all of the stuff through the parts department at cost.

What size are your front and rear rim? I have CCWs as well but I don't want to make my car look goofy spacing things out. Maybe its not noticeable at all

No not really, but you don't have to hardly push the pedal to get it to stop.

They are 19x10 front and 19x11 rear. The front isn't bad at all. I thought it would stick out or rub, but they tuck up nicely under the fender. As far as the rear goes, they don't stick out, but they are right even with the quarter. I have the quarters rolled so it doesn't rub.
