You called your local dealer, right?
There are also 2 dealers that are sponsors here. One is Fred Beans and the other is Scoggin Dickey.

Koni SA's are great. I would upgrade the front sway bar first (35mm+ IMHO) and then see if you need to up the rear size. Watts link, really? I always thought a rod ended panhard bar was fine.

yeah i have a double adjustable panhard rod. maybe just need the relocation brakets for the control arms and panhard rod. the watts link might be a lil over kill for my needs. When i bought the car i acted as a noob and forgot to order relocation brakets for when i lowered the car. lol

I think this might help, quote from Kevin at partstaxi.com

Jason,
Here's a break down for you.

Calipers = 89047727 = $153.48
= 89047726 = $156.00
Front Brake Pad Set (Calipers not available loaded from GM) = 89047725 = $115.91
Front Z06 Rotors = 19121787 = $114.82 each x2

If everything is ordered together thid will qualify for free shipping.
Thanks
Kevin
Total cost $655.03, maybe Kevin will give another $0.03 discount to make it even.

GM doesn't sell Hawk brand pads.
Darknessxyz, did Kevin say the brake pad kit included the small parts like the tensioner clip and pins, etc... that we are going to need?

Yes, you'll need those. I'm not sure what's the pad include, normally doesn't come with the hardware. Also, I got this part number for hardware from GMPD.

yeah 465 plus shipping but their shipping is cheap,both calipers, both ZO6 rotors. i'll pm u since theyre dont advertise here. and theyre new.

edit...
partstaxi ends up being cheaper shipped. since they have free shipping. bout 10 bucks.
