Dammit so I am trying to fix my brakes, and seriously considering the C7 z51 brake upgrade. Which according to peeps on LS1Tech seems to fit 17 inch wheels. EXCEPT I look at my CCW wheels and see there is a 1/2 inch "inset" bump on the inside of the barrel. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I went with 17s when I got them b/c they generally fit and I thought I'd be good with them. 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.

I'm very fast on stock brakes with the right pads. So, no I guess right now I don't "need" different brakes. But, it would be nice to have a little more braking confidence, out on the street, or at AX. So this whole ordeal had me thinking and planning.

Would be great to go in a little deeper and not wonder if my mushy pedal is gonna hold up. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
