C6 Z06 brakes to an F-body?
Does any one know if it is possible to put the front C6 Z06 brakes on a 4th gen F-body? And if it is possible, would I have to have a 19 inch front wheel? Or would an 18 inch wheel work?

yes,it is possible and i think if u go 18 inch wheels u might need a spacer unless the wheel is made for big brake kits.i an in the process of get all of the parts to do it to my 2000 ws6 but i have 20 inch wheels on the car now.in order to put the calipers on the front u will need a upgrade bracket i just got mine from ebay it was 90.00 and that will let u bolt the caliper right on.for the front brakes i found from gm parts direct.com it will cost me shipped $943.00.hope that helps.

Well, I don't know on the wheel spacing. The C6 Z06 Wheels up front are 19 inchers. But I am not sure how much space there is between the calipers and the wheels. I really want to stay with something that will fit with an 18 inch wheel, so if they are too big for an 18, I will keep looking at other kits. Let me know how yours turns out. Make sure to take and post plenty of pics. I also saw the price and got excited to put them on mine as well, but still need to find out for sure if it can be done or not.

I belive 18's will be just fine. Their is a guy on the Vette boards that has 18's witht the C6 Z06 brakes and they fit just fine. The new C6 Z has 18 up front and 19 rears.
