Me and a camera is scary, but I took the first pictures of my brake project this weekend.

Impressivem great job,
Jim
Norm,not only do they look fantastic,their stopping ability is unbelievable.Last
month I had a chance to run some laps in a new Z06 at Spring Mt.& to experience 1st hand how much better the brakes are than the C5 versions.
BTW,now that you've done the job once,where's the sign-up sheet for the
Clemmer garage?

It was an unbelievable easy straight forward bolt on job. The only thing that did not fit was the brake lines. I saved all of the old parts and could switch it back to stock in two hours if I wanted to.
My wife noticed them and it made me feel guilty. So I bought her a new vehicle. It is Victory Red and has a paddle shifter coupled up to an automatic transmission, a better horsepower to weight ratio than a Vette. The only thing that disappointed me is there was no push button start option...it starts with a key.
My wife will look very good driving it around this summer when I am Zaioning my Vette.

Boy when you feel guilty you really over compensate. At least it's rear wheel drive those front wheel drive models suck!

Unlike the vette it doesn't have traction control. I might have to mod her vehicle with wider rims and tires. I am concerned about traction issues and would hate to see it get away from her.

You do know that they have 18" high ride 5 spoke wheels for that model, however, I would save the mods for her birthday. You know how spoiled they can get.

Hopefully next week I'll have the C-6-Z-06 wheels that I ordered on Arleens C-5.
The brakes look GREAT!
