C5 brakes on the front.



LS1 on the rear.

i powdercoated them myself in class and the wheels, total i only had to pay for the cost of the powder coat so it was like $75 for black for the wheels and the red for the calipers.

Hey PipesTA where did you have yours done (and if you don't mind how much did it cost)? Did you have to take them apart yourself? I have been considering doing mine in an electric blue. I have wilwood TC6's in front and BSL4's in the rear.

I had them done locally through one of my clients. They ran me $150. They're not bad at all to rebuild. I got the rebuild kit from Summit.

Thanks for the compliments guys. They're on the car and awaiting to be blead.
