The Wilwood site shows the calipers in red and black so you may have a choice. I looked on LG's site and did not see the kit, it may be discontinued but I know it fit behind the GM stock C5 Z06 wheels and GM A-Molds. The only reason I stayed away from this set up was I had heard under hard conditions the pistons in the SL series of caliper had seized causing extreme pad wear and possible loss of braking. I have never seen it or even met anyone that had but I was skeptical so I went the route that I knew worked. Another option is the Wilwood?s from DRM for the C4; I am running this set up with absolutely no problems and the rotors are nice and thick along with the pads. Just my .02 but I feel a thicker rotor is better than a larger diameter one. Stop Tech also makes a nice set up but I believe it is the front only for the C4.
