I didn't buy the new brakes yet but man I am upset. I don't want to have to sell these (along with a set of extra tires) just to buy 18s and spend even more money. Then run a standard C6 brake kit? Parts are cheap and someday when you move up to 18's you can swap up to the Z51 parts. Now, with that said I haven't looked at the C7 Z51 brake package so I don't know if it's much different than the C6 version. Is this for autocross only? Or are you doing track events too? (I forget).
