Koni SA's are great. I would upgrade the front sway bar first (35mm+ IMHO) and then see if you need to up the rear size. Watts link, really? I always thought a rod ended panhard bar was fine.

yeah i have a double adjustable panhard rod. maybe just need the relocation brakets for the control arms and panhard rod. the watts link might be a lil over kill for my needs. When i bought the car i acted as a noob and forgot to order relocation brakets for when i lowered the car. lol

I think this might help, quote from Kevin at partstaxi.com

Jason,
Here's a break down for you.

Calipers = 89047727 = $153.48
= 89047726 = $156.00
Front Brake Pad Set (Calipers not available loaded from GM) = 89047725 = $115.91
Front Z06 Rotors = 19121787 = $114.82 each x2

If everything is ordered together thid will qualify for free shipping.
Thanks
Kevin

Total cost $655.03, maybe Kevin will give another $0.03 discount to make it even.

GM doesn't sell Hawk brand pads.
Darknessxyz, did Kevin say the brake pad kit included the small parts like the tensioner clip and pins, etc... that we are going to need?

ah so its an OEM part number, coo. good question on pad kit. so far i pieced the rotors and calipers for 465, thats w/o pad kit. pieced from another site. lil cheaper.

I'm doing this ASAP. I have 19" Iforged Aeros with the "Big Brake clearance" option. I'll be happy to post pics of the install, before and after. This will look SHARP too. I read every page of all the threads explaining this project today. Thanks for everyones effort on this.

Yes, you'll need those. I'm not sure what's the pad include, normally doesn't come with the hardware. Also, I got this part number for hardware from GMPD.

yeah 465 plus shipping but their shipping is cheap,both calipers, both ZO6 rotors. i'll pm u since theyre dont advertise here. and theyre new.

edit...
partstaxi ends up being cheaper shipped. since they have free shipping. bout 10 bucks.

[Big_Bird_WS6]

post pictures in a bit. and for price please PM me. it is hard to explain where i got them. just pm it is easier to explain there.
