www.lgmotorsports.com sells the whole kit (including rotors). You could contact them and see if they would sell the brackets separately - I don't know... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
good luck,

They have closed their doors.

Bob Bishop is still in business. I just bought a set of brackets from him. This guy knows a lot. You can e-mail him at www.lateapex@charter.net
Good luck. I'm adding a set of Z06 front brakes to my SS.

We have the complete set including the availability of the New G-Stop rotors from DBA Australia. We are now an importer of the DBA brakes.
Also keep in mind that the G-Stop set up doesnot have a large offset in the bracket, so the braking forces are directly inline with the caliper. This eliminates the "twist" in the other brand. That twist will cause the calipers to flex, and cause pad taper, and premature caliper spreading.

We have completet sets in stock ready to ship.
Call me at 972-272-7753 and ask to talk directly to me, Lou Gigliotti.

Thanks,

Lou Gigliotti LGM
PS the New G-stop rotors are different than the ones on our web site. email me for a correct photo at Lou@LGMotorsports.com
