Thats awesome. Now if a vendor can provide some pricingand a package: rotors, pads, calipers. How does the braking feel now. Better I would think. Did you compare weight?

It is stated over on CF.com that they are not available yet. Not sure how he got those...very cool none-the-less.
He states noticeable difference in braking. No weight comparison.

There is a vendor on the Corvette Forum that has the whole setup for $1695 + shipping. that's a GREAT price for some KILLER brakes!
I can't say the vendor name, because it's not good forum etiquette, but the GM dealers first name is the same as Wilma Flintstone's husband, and the last name is a musical fruit that can blow the back of your pants out!
Ask for a guy named Gene, if you're intersted.
