Getting adapter today so the Brembos will be going to their new home soon. The Z06 rotor is clearly "flatter" than the Brembo and that should pull wheels and tires closer to fender well. The Brembos require longer wheel studs so that's being changed too.

Massive stopping distance difference with the 6 pistons....I was reading an article last night on C6 base model vs Z06/ZR1

25-30 ft from 60 and 45ft from 80

Dave,

I'm using the stock GS pads for now. Lots of meat left on those bones.
How do you like the decal?

Lee,

To quote that birther Trump, these brakes are HUGE!

Dominic I was impressed when I picked them up, now they look GREAT. And guys, those things are huge.

LOVE the decal!!!

Might want to sell the used padlets and get ceramic.

Those padlets will dirty up your calipers in the first few hours guaranteed.

Performance of the OEM pads in superb though.

As long as you don't mind cleaning the calipers, keep them on

WJust some camparison of the Z06 and Brembo rotors

Here's the diameter difference

And here is the height difference. Its about 1.5". Square is resting on top of Brembo rotor hat surface. This is one reason I went to the Z06 rotors. The Brembo is a taller rotor and so pushed out the Z06 wheel further past the fender line. I did a quick test fit and the Z06 wheel will be nearly flush with the fender.

So I guess you have to use 18 in. rims? I'm just curious on what changes had to be made? Thanks for the write up...
