LG C5 Brake Pics (from a distance by request) After my C5 install some people asked for some 'distance' pictures. I hope these are good enough angles.

Guess it's a combination of the SP16A rim and the fact I went with black VHT Caliper paint. The car looks "right" in that, this is how it should have looked from the factory (in regards to the brake size)

Looks great Jeff! Any reason why you didn't go w/ the 14" C6 Z06 rotors? I would figure with those huge wheels, that's what you would have done. I've got a similar kit to yours w/ 18's and will be going w/ the 14" big boys pretty soon. Looks great though!

I felt that this year I wanted to build a decent street setup that I would be happy with. At the end of 2006 I wanted my Z28 to meet the following standards.
- Look Nice (CCW RIMS, Halo Head Lights, Front window tint, limo sides/back) CHECK
- Handle Well (UMI parts, Billsteins, Eibachs, Hotchkis Sway bars, Subframes)CHECK
- Stop like a C5 or better (Almost there now, C5 rotors, hard lines, new fluid pads rotors) SEMI-CHECK
- Have over 450 rwhp N/A (HPTuners installed,TFS Heads, Custom Cam, FAST90/NW TB ordered) SOON TO BE CHECKED
Somewhere along the way I saw I was going to be running over budget (mainly due to the TFS heads) so I got away from the idea of running Brembos and saved money on the C5 upgrade. At another time, I will run a much better system on this car.

Hey MONEY is certainly understood man!
However, the place i got my kit from currently sells the entire bracket assembly to use the 14" rotors for 125 bucks for the pair of steel brackets. Throw in Z06 14" rotors at 160 each and you are in a damn nice looking kit for barely over 400 bucks. Granted more expense will be there depending on caliper, pad, and lines, but a damn good deal for some huge brakes

well if either of you want to sell your C5 brackets let me know. I'm only interested in the LG motorsports brackets because you don't have to cut anything to make them work.
