Would it have gone better had I been in the "neighborhood"? Maybe!

David, car looks awesome
Quick google search looks like you can possibly keep the parking brake:

It also depends on what brand/style of 18inch wheels too... Sadly CCW told me that their 18inch wheels (at least the classics that I have) won't allow for C6 ZO6 brakes

I'm looking into the c6 zr1 brakes. Since they can bolt on the c6 surely they can fit with new brackets. I picked up c6z calipers but I may end up using the setup on the 93 since it could use the better braking f/r with 2 piece rotors etc. or I may just sell the new Baer kit and the eradispeed 2 pc rotors I already have and put the c6z setup on the z and do a c6 zr1 setup on the 93. Fun fun !
Anyone interested in the Baer 6 piston front calipers brand new w/brackets and lines and pads ? All new. I could include Baer 2 Pc rotors front and back too since ill likely not be using them.

I'm running 19s on both cars but yeah I didn't consider the cost of the ceramic rotors .. Big $$$ I think !!
What brake lines are you running with the c6z calipers? Will the c6z lines work or custom lines ??
So far I got the calipers ordered. Front brackets. Waiting to order the rear ebrake setup. Will likely get new rotors and pads but to keep costs down for now I might use the Oem padlets and source some used rotors. Didn't want to buy new rotors when ill be wanting to buy a decent 2 piece rotor soon enough. Been told I need a universal ebrake cable to for the factory ebrake to the new rear ebrake... Cost piles up really fast wow !!

Awesome thanks. Ill just reuse the ones on the calipers for now to get rolling as well as pads. Looking for rotors .. Seems a few options around $300 for all 4 with directional vanes isn't bad. Will try and source some used for now though. Street shoppe brackets are $700 ouchy .. But to have a working ebrake is nice. Wish someone would just make a rear bracket for $100 so I can snip the ebrake. Then again that one day the car rolls and park itself into another car or wall and ill be kicking myself lol

Ted's was done "correctly" with an adapter that is hub centric to the car and the 12mm hardware and also hub centric with 14mm hardware to the CTS wheel. There were no "short-cuts"! There's no grinding on the wheel center bore to fit, the CTS spare retains it's complete resale value if it were ever an option.
Would it have gone better had I been in the "neighborhood"? Maybe!

Regardless, I was saying unmodified Shelby's won't fit.

C6Z06 and yes, mods need to be done to the Shelby Wheels.. Not really worth the effort IMHO but it can be done and you are right they cannot be fitted without the mods
