Someone with TT2's upgraded to the C5 System with the larger rotors and it barely cleared with wheel spacers from what I recall. Very small array of choices.

With the TT2's you'll probably only be able to squeeze in the Tri-Power Calipers by SSBC.

I've never heard of TT2 wheels. What type of dimensions are they.
The SSBC Tri-Power or Force 10 4-piston require a 17 inch wheel. If you are interested in those let me know because I am a dealer for them.

SSBC Tri-Power. Is a 3-Piston Billet Aluminum Caliper. Uses a one piece SSBC Slotted 13 inch brake rotor. Includes all hardware brackets, SS lines and pads. Bolts to your stock spindles. $1148.00 for the kit.

SSBC Force 10 4-Piston Billet Aluminum Caliper. Uses the same one piece SSBBC Slotted13 inch rotor. Includes all hardware, brakcets, SS Lines and Pads. Bolts to your stock spindles. Includes powder coating as well. $1279.00 for the kit.

Minimum wheel size is 17 inches. You shouldn't have any issues with these mounting underneath your wheels as long as your wheel offset is stock.

Here are some pictures of my setup up with the 4-piston kit. Note that those are my double drilled and slotted rotors. They don't come from SSBC that way.

C5 rotors should fit the TT2s 16 inch wheels just fine.

...go with c5 brackets, c5 rotors and use the stock calipers. ...great set-up!

C5 rotors will NOT fit under 16" wheels. Base LS1 12" rotors barely clear under 16" wheels, and a rotor that is 1" bigger won't clear. If you want C5 rotors, you need 17" wheels.

C5 setup will fit under 17" TT2, but you will need a spacer (1/4" I *think*).
