Re: wanna upgrade my brakes....z06
The Z06 disk brake upgrade is an excellent upgrade....My original plan was to install Z06 disk on my 1989 IROC, But changed in mid stream. For cost I chose the LS1 disk upgrade, and did not want to change my Center Lines. Used LS1 drilled, slotted, and coated rotors, hawks pads. On the rear is 93 Z28 drilled, slotted, and coated rotors, hawk pads. This should provide good braking, and use my 16" wheels...

Re: wanna upgrade my brakes....z06
What size wheels are you running? C5 Z06 brakes require 17" wheels at the minimum.
