    Thank you in advance.

    Yup. Confirmed.

    Any photo of the project in progress ? Did you have to use 90 degree bend brake lines ?

    I will pull the wheel off on the weekend and take some pics of the two but I did test the regular line when I was installing mine and it did bolt up.

    I ended up having my wheels dynamically balanced, with the weights moved inboard. No clearance issues with the calipers and the wheels are well balanced, even at 110mph.

    Hello everyone. Mike from Dallas here. I work for advance auto parts. I can get pricing on Saturday for the GT500 rotors and C5 brake calipers. I'll also look at Keystone to look at Stop Tech brake rotors for the front and rear. I can order drilled, slotted, drilled and slotted rotors with or with out Cryo Treatment. Btw Zack and Lji_372 I sent you guys message about buying the brackets.

    Thanks Mike.

    I searched this thread and didn't find the outcome from a guy who posted a similar question, so I hope this is not repetitive.

    Will this setup work with c6z06 calipers? All else being the same? I have 19 inch wheels. Thanks.

    Does TCE still provide the brake lines? If so, do we have to reach directly out to TCE about the brake lines, or is there a link I’m missing somewhere?

    You can order them on the page, look for "Zack's fronts" in the drop down box for Marauder.

    Awesome. I had somehow missed the drop down box when I was browsing their page before.

    Question for those with the front kits...

    Anybody notice a difference when trying to foot brake at the track? Last year I could foot brake and hold the car to about 3200 rpm to launch. This year it's around 2600-2700 before I start pushing through the brakes.

    My thought process was maybe the corvette calipers were a bit larger and not upgrading the master cyl to displace more fluid might be the source. When we upgrade our axles in jeeps with larger brakes we have to go to larger master cylinders.

    My brakes feel fine, good firm pedal, stops great etc. Just can't foot brake like I could.

    Torn between a possible brake change or my torque converter. It's the same converter as last year, but I did have the company I got it from cut/clean it over the winter to renew my warranty.
