Got a chance to work on the swap and il just let the pics speak for themselves still not installed was late and didnt have time to bleed the brakes and needed some washers which was to late to go buy. but almost there. il keep you guys posted. but was tryn to show you guys the mounting and how much grinding i had to do. wouldnt line up right and also had to make sure the pads would work and fit evenly .

I think this still might be doable for us GXP folks.
Basically, do what DrunkieTheBear did but with a modification: 4 piston Brembo calipers with our stock ~13" rotors.
Hopefully, our OEM wheels will clear since it seems those 6 piston Z06 PBR calipers cleared.
