Default Z06 Brake conversion

Can anyone help me find more info on this? The search on this forum sucks. you can't search for exact words. Z06 shows up everywhere.

Anyways, I would for sure like to do the fronts. I already have 15" eardispeeds in the front and 14" in the back. Sounds like all I need is some custom brackets, Calipers, Pads, SS lines, ?? I can't seem to find where to buy the brackets.

Also, is there a tutorial on here somewhere that someone did?

Thanks again.

The Baer setup is way to much money.... I just looked at it. From what I hear, you can do all 4 corners with the vette stuff and still have money for a tank of gas for what you spent on Baer.

Anyone know anything about brackets for NNBS?

More than a 6 piston caliper upgrade? Not from what I've seen.

SSBC looks nice, but I've already invested in the Big Rotors from Baer.

Wont argue on costs...but I'll bet that once u get done with the hassle factor plus the costs of makiing the Vette parts work, it wont be all that much better...u already have the rotors and its basically plug&play (except for me!)
