You can do it yourself. There is some cutting to do to the rear dust shields to get the brackets to fit but mostly bolt on. To fit the 15's up front you need to grind parts of the caliper to get them to fit (remember Zo6 rotors are only 13") I have about $2500.00 into parts.

No problem at all. Glad to show them off.
There is a guy working on "improving" the front brackets for the 15's. The current brackets may need to be shim'ed for proper fitment, so right now the brakepad retainer clips are rubbing on the rotors which makes them squeeeell
