I did the C6Z06 upgrade including the Street Shop rear brake adapter. I know the C4 J55 were adequate, but there have been times I absolutely give thanks for having the Z06 brakes. They continually stop u sooner than you think you will and I love that extra margin for error.

I think I paid $700 for the F/R takeoff brakes w rotors and stock pads, $150 for front adapter, $700+ for Street Shop rear adapter.
Of course, this assumes you go w 18? wheels in front to clear the caliper.

Yep if you are on a budget and have the 18inch wheels this is the Way to go Dom. However I was not letting my 17 inch FIKSE FM5s go so it was a bit of a challenge to piece everything together to fit.
