1) For an even $400 + shipping I'll do it, but -
2) Do stock tie rod ends still fit onto the steering knuckle?
and
3) Is there a noticeable difference between these and stock?

I wanted to upgrade to the C5 or C6 brakes, but if the price is right...

Let me know when you can...

The stock tie rods will still connect to the spindles you would just need to remove the bump steer adjusters. There is definitely a big difference going from 10.5 inch brakes to 12" brakes plus the pads and rotors work very well. I will PM you on how much the shipping will be I am very busy this weekend so I will not be able to get a quote and ship them out until Tues.
