Nice lookin I went you route of upgrading pads, rotors & SS lines, but staying with OEM brake calipers. I am not tracking the car so I think all will be fine.

Thanks Michael. I think these calipers are like the stock; they appear to be the GS caliper ground down flat but the company claims they are made by PBR for them.....I don't know. I thought about Solo II and not sure because I hear our Zs don't do that well. Take care.

tomtom72,

Thanks for the comments. I had to put a/c in my garage because I spend so much time in there and don't like the door open for everyone driving by to see....to many thieves around and you know we have a very special Corvette. I still have to install a TV in the ceiling corner so I make sure I don't miss Speed TV. I remember those cold winters in the garage when I lived in Connecticut. Mine won't stay clean for long and just thought to clean it up while doing the project.
