wow, $1300 for brakes is cheap. some of the better racing brands are in the $3k mark.

im doing C5 z06 calipers with C5 rotors in front. rotors, pads, and lines are from rotorsonline. im just waiting on my conversion brackets.

I was planning on powder coating my calipers hugger orange with black brackets this spring.

Might throw some Camaro decals on there for good measure!

6 piston superlite Wilwood's probably will not fit a 17" rim, Wilwood 6 pistons have huge amounts of overhang. Just print off the .pdf from Wilwood's site and you should have all the measurements you need to properly discern what brake kit will work with your 17" rim.

They save me a decent amount over the stock setup and give me a ton more stopping power.

Just a note for guys considering a big break kit, you will HAVE TO get a custom drag wheel if you every plan on running them. The over hang, like mentioned, is huge on those setups so you will need a custom wheel, which will also stick out too.

This is from my old blue car. Simple, but I liked it. Nothing really went w/NBM.

Default Zo6 calipers

For the price you can't go wrong with z06 calipers and rotors.
