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.

But hasn't anyone else driven in a Mitsubishi Evo, or C7, etc with GOOD BRAKES. Man it puts the brakes on Fbodies to shame. The pedal on my car has almost always been rather mushy. I think for a few months when I had a new MC and new Carbotech pads I had a good brake feel. My friend's Ford Focus seems to stop harder than my car (I realize its probably lighter).
Though, of course I've had 2 FTDs last year so really, who needs to slow down? ;-) I drove a friends CAM-C car with C5 brakes, and it felt no better than my car. Pedal inconsistent- sometimes firm, sometimes mushy, depending on the last corner I took, or apparent engine speed.
My hubs are now good (xtracker C5 hubs on adapters). I'd love to just have confidence they will always have the same feel for each corner.
