I got mine from amazon for $14.92 shipped free, and only one kit is needed for both front calipers. They work great, I already have my pads mounted to the calipers

pm sent, make sure you go quick because it looked like they only had 2 left. Again, only buy one because one kit is enough for both front calipers.

hey just FYI, the passenger side caliper just went up to $152.89. that is what happens when you calculate supply and demand. for some reason the drivers side one is still 50 bucks less then the passenger side. glad i picked up mine when i did.

As of right now it looks like they still have 3 for $126.38, you can go to it by clicking on the bottom where it says 3 new.

It's definitely a supply and demand issue. I'm sure LS1tech has generated more than a few sales on Amazon.

Some of the GTO's and G8's are doing the cts-v big brake swap also, that is another reason why this things get picked up quick.

Just want to make sure I'm not an idiot...but I got QTY of 2 brake rotors from a C6Z06. They were part number: 177-1126. Does it matter which direction they go? I only saw one part number...

Dang are these things big!

The C6Z06 factory rotors were only one direction. Supposedly this was less than ideal for track conditions, but I'm not sure if it was proven.

I ended up going with Brakemotive (sponsor) for the front rotors and pads as well as new rears to match the fronts.


So I'm still waiting for the pins to come, and I need to order the brake lines and spacers to complete the fronts.

I emailed Kore3 and they quoted me $65 plus $11 shipping. I guess their prices have gone up. It did include the lines, banjo bolts, brass washers, and clips.

Just make sure you scuff the **** out of the surface of these. I did a proper break-in procedure and that are still screaming when I come to a stop.
