Default C6Z Brakes Installed with Ace Slick Wheels & New Blower Bracket

Yes the C6Z Calipers will clear the front of the Ace Slick Wheels with no problems and here are a few shots from my iPhone as work is still in progress for the new A&A Blower Bracket



A couple of the new blower bracket

The front wheels are Ace Slliok 18X9.5. The calipers are real close to the stick on weights on the inside lip, but they clear. Looking good Steve. Hopefully only another week. Then clean up for the car show on the 18th April. Next will be the tune.

Looks great can't wait to see the car in action again. Also keep me in mind for detailing your car before the Show.
