Thanks for the kind words guys....pretty excited about it myself, I've really never had a quality aftermarket wheel. Not suppose to have fitment issues, so we'll see.

This is what I went with Forged Narrow Superlite 6R Big Brake Front Brake Kit. I had the Thermlock pistons from the Road Race kit substituted in for the standard piston that comes with this kit (Thermlock is their premium piston assembly for the 6P caliper). This way I could get the 14" rotor, along with the better piston.

Now, I went this route due to cost. There are a number of great choices out there. The Kore3 C6 and C6Z kits are very cost effective. The CTS-V kits. The Gen 5 Camaro retro fit is performing well on "STI Killer".

Hopefully I will be able to report back middle of next month. If I get my car together I will be running it @ RTTH in pigeon forge.

Originally from Morehead area, we still have a house there, but due to work we are now in Western KY near madisonville/owensboro. I won't let anyone else touch my car besides those guys, they do awesome work. Love the color of your car BTW!

They look great! I thought mine would be here anyday, but the forgestar site just updated and said I still have two more weeks! Damn it. Pharmd, can you tell me if the rears have a deeper concavity or are fronts and rears the same? It's tough to tell in pics and I've been wondering all along.

Well, I most certainly would have gotten better pics, but the car has a blown motor right now and won't move under its own power. New motor is OTW, but not in yet. I had other cars all around me so I couldn't take a further away shot without other cars being in the way :-(

Their isn't alot of difference front to back. IMHO if you have to sit and study it, its not really noticeable. By default the rear being 1" wider allows a slightly great concavity, but like I said, its really doesn't appear significant (at least to my eyes). Once I get the strano springs on there, we'll be able to get a better feel for clearance. The fronts (with the current Vogtlund springs) have very little vertical clearance on the lip. Hopefully the strano's will raise it up a little...otherwise I may be going full coilover. Won't know about steering clearance until I get the car running and can drive it around (different turning angles, approach angles etc).
