Default New brakes are almost ready for install

What ive got so far:
- C5 Z06 calipers (brand new)
- C5 front rotors (from rotorsonline)
- Camaro rear rotors (from rotorsonline)
- Axxis Ultimate front pads (from rotorsonline)
- Axxis rear pads (From rotorsonline)
- braided stainless lines (from rotorslonline)

still need:
- C5 conversion brackets
- Performance brake fluid (full flush)

the conversion brackets will be part of an announcement from someone else soon hopefully.

calipers were about $100 each on gmpartsdirect.

yes there are brackets, but why buy a wheel when you can redesign it.

all of the ones out require modification. i have an idea of how to make a stronger bracket that wont need modification.

Hopefully they'll be cheaper than UMI's brackets.

actually gold is soft.

Ill reveal them in a few weeks hopefully, er someone else will, the guy who will be offering them. worst case scenario, they will be the same as whats out there, but he will be a local dealer selling them, someone we all know and trust.

He had a creepy look in his eye while he started singing about how nice the neighborhood was and that he wanted me as his neighbor, then he started taking off his sweater, and righ there I kicked his *** off my property and proceeded to invite Big bird and Elmo for security...

I really like the UMI ones. I'm going to sell my steel ones and buy those when I get the chance.
