I was waiting for him to get back to this thread weeks ago with the finished product but my brakes would not hold up that long. I ended up going with baer brakes on my ride and they do just fine.

As for the Z06 setup it didnt seem like it was really worth it to many so I never went as far as figuring brake hoses out but I did complete it as an assembly for myself and once I get more time Ill do the back also.

Ok so after month of trying to finish up the swap I finally got some free time. Getting the caliper to mount up doesn't look like the problem which still seems to sit a little off but I doubt it'll be a problem. As for the caliper ..it hits on the mounting bracket I guess you could call it..so a little bit of grinding and it'll be good . The only thing is like the I suspected the wheels don't clear. By alot! But I figured wit spacers and longer studs it should be fine. Seems like alot of work so hopefully it pays off. And well I'm not to sure about those spacers but should be ok till I get my rims . Well see.Just letting yu guys know I haven't gave up and wit about 900 dollars in parts I'm not ready to.
