Got 17" wheels, budget deal on upgraded brakes Ive been searching this forum and even sites that i find on google. I am looking to upgrade my brakes on my 2000 T/A with 17" wheels. anybody have prices on packages such as a C5 Z06 brake kit? Any other brands? Maybe just a stock replacement Fbody brake package.
Individual prices
Calipers?
Rotors?
Pads? (read good things about hawks pads )
I found this on a 3 year old thread if the price is still the same the C5 Z06 kit sells for $685

I got ATE Rotors & Hawk HPS pads from Strano when i ordered my Koni 4/4's. Im happy with them and im still running my stock 17"s. For all the Rotors & Pads, i think i paid around $500 or less. Im happy with them.
I believe BrakeMotive on here sells rotors and pads for a nice price as well.

Read a thread here not to long ago where you can use cts-v calipers and rotors on 4th gen fbodies. I think you need like 18 inch wheels though, those things are massive. I think they are 4 piston calipers made by brembo, all for around $800 or so from a dealer. I wouldnt mind oding these, but I got another project that I would like to finish.

Size for size blanks stop better, and don't have the cracking problem's drilled rotors are known for (especially the cheap ones).
