Hey there fellas, I'm checking in to see how this setups works for you guys running it? I have yet to read this whole thread but I'll get to it tonight or sometime over the weekend.
I know I can be a bit hard to get in contact with an I apologize for those who I've missed contact with, the best option is to call me if you need to.

Someone was supposed to send me a rear caliper but never did so I haven't looked into it, however I did manage to get C5 rear discs installed with a working e-brake so there's another option for the rears. So you can now run the ZO6 front and rear rotors on a car if you'd like.

I have two questions.
1) Anyone that has done this kit...They look great, but how do they hold up under hard braking? Have you guys noticed an improvement?
2) Edmiller88...you mentioned being able to use C5 rear rotors on an F-body. How big are those and what would I have to do to use them?

wow What a Great Setup!!! Unfortunately I can't do it now, not only do I have 17x11 ZR1's and fresh rotors/pads, but I just ordered a new set of tires 
Perhaps I can do this in the way future, when I get those Godly CCW 19's and hopefully by then this **** will cost less

Z51 Rotors Are you guys sure that the C6 Z06 Rear Rotors will fit on the F-body without any modification?? Cuz I tired to put C5 Rotors on the Rear and they did not fit due to parking brake aligment. Basically the Rotors is not deep enough to fit with the parking brake assembley..

Perhaps i missed this in the thread somewhere. But i just got my calipers from gmpartsdirect, but they didnt have the pins or retainers for the pads with them. I am guessing this has happened to others and i just want to know how guys have went about getting the pins and retainers. Please let me know.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I imagine you got the kit from gmpartsdirect. What was the price for the kit? If you didnt get it from there where did you and what did you pay?

i have a question.. i got a 06 impala ss and was looking to do this swap.. car currently comes with 12 inch rotors.dual piston calipers ,same as f bodys just a lil heaver i believe. so my question is if i wanted to do this swap i would need the cts-v calipers,f body brackets,13 inch rotors from a gxp for front and 12 inch for the rear.i believe i have read that the gxp rotors are a lil taller on the stud part..would this matter much i got 18 inch rims factory so hopefully i wouldn't have to upgrade them. Also would i have to change the master cyclinder..?
