I got the calipers through a friend, but other than that -
These were purchased through non-supporting sponsors so PM me if you want more info.
Caliper brackets - $90
Rotors - ~$230
Pads - ~ $80
LS1 stainless steel brake lines - ~$60
4 caliper mounting bolts, 8 bracket mounting bolts -~$25
The hardest part of the install for me was grinding down the caliper to clear the wheels. A 18" Z06 rim should clear without a problem, but since the lips are so big on my wheels, the 5 star is pushed further in.

The brackets are actually the same for the C5 and C6. The difference comes in with the caliper. The Z51 abutment plates are needed to clear the bigger rotor.

Hmmm, let's think about this - two piston caliper vs. single piston
13.5" rotor vs. 12" rotor
rubber brake lines vs. stainless steel
