I would be happy to be able to do the fronts for 1k.. Everywhere else I turn is 1500-4000 for the front brakes only.

Oh I know $802 for the fronts without pads... I wouldn't go with stock pads anyway... probably an 82 or 01 compound.
Im pretty sure the back brakes would be worthless to me anyway. ... If not it might be time for a wheel change... would the stock Z06 rear brakes be able to fit onto my solid rear axle.. I doubt it but still.

I want ask some more questions.. i have heard that the C6 brakes bolt right onto the c5's? is this correct?
Also does anyone know the distance from centerline to the outer most edge of the caliper. I want to know what wheels I can use. Also, whats the bolting circle for the c6? Im trying to find rims that will fit my wheel wells, considering my 16's wheels rub, I definitely need spacers.

Is there any way of actually making the Z06 big brakes fit on stock wheels? What if you get your stock rims widened, there a way to make them fit then. I planned on getting my black motorsports widened to around 12".

Thanks, Im gonna do a little bit more research, I'm excited that they are 8".. Im gonna have to take a bunch of measurements this weekend. (I'm 120 miles away from the car right now), I'm gonna have to double check the interior wheel diameter on the Iroc's.. Because I know they are different from most other 16" wheels. (They can pull over a g on the skid pad with mcpherson struts and a solid rear so take your pick).
I might start picking up the c5 parts needed for the swap until I can get the cash for the brakes.
Thank you..
Also, I was sent a link to the PBR calipers last night.
Again Thank you.
