Default bigger brake question
in the not to distant future im planning on gettin c6 z06 rims I belive there 18x9 up front and 19x11 in the rear, I was wondering what would be the best rotor and pads to get, Im thinking my stock calipers are good, would I need to upgrade thos as well? thanks.

if u are getting c6 Z06 wheels get a c6 Z06 front rotor 14" with a cts V front brembo caliper . direct bolt but just need some washers to center it

Go with a C5 setup, it will fill out the wheel better.

Wasnt there some issues with the brake hoses being too short?
