i'm sure it's been mentioned, but i didn't see it, these will only work with 18's and larger? so 17's of any size will not fit? yes/no.

That's correct. Only 18's or larger. And even then there are very few aftermarket wheels that will clear them. C6 wheels are the best bet for them. I got lucky and made mine work with a small spacer.

Looks amazing, bet it made a world of difference.

Will these work with C5 Z06 wheels? 18"x9.5" +57mm offset?

I can't really say for sure. You would have to take some measurements. The technical section of Kore3's site gives the measurements you'll need.

$130 for the Hawk HPS pads

You'll have to take some measurements to find out. Here's what you'll need to check clearance. http://www.kore3.com/downloads/fitme...es/DOC0019.pdf

Do you have any pictures of the rear calipers and rotors. What stops me from doing a lot of the other big brake kits is that they dont make rears. I want front and rear to match. What does it take to put the rears on a 02 TA rear end? I also have CCW 505A's but they are 18's do you think these brakes would fit well with the 18's? What size spacers did you use and where do you buy spacers?

You car looks friggin amazing by the way!!!

Yes, I'm running the GM rotors which have the backwards right side rotors. There are aftermarkets available but they're expensive.

GM spends all this money on the dry sump 505hp LS7 and the fancy 8 piston calipers, but can't spend a tiny bit more and make a second rotor?
