I know, plenty of my friends have 'em. The guy I got my car from sold it to buy an '06 and he had those brakes, hated them, and now runs Stoptechs.

But it’s just not worth it. The pads cup, and having six per caliper front are super expensive and a massive PITA to change @ the track. The rotors were also miss-engineered (or GM just got **really really** cheap). Instead of true left and right hand rotors there is only one type. So on one side of the car the rotors turn the wrong way for the cooling veins to be effective.

> - “Base” Level. These would be on any non-Z51 and non-Z06 C6. They are identical to C5 brakes (Z06 or not, the C5 Z06s just had different pads and powder coated red calipers) in dimensions.- “Z51” Level. These would be on **ONLY** C6 Z51 cars. They were not optional on non-Z51s and came on **EVER** Z51 car. They featured a slightly larger rotor (diameter and thickness) package that was cross-drilled.- “Z06” Level. These were on **each and every C6 Z06 and only on the C6 Z06.** Not optional on any other C6. They are huge and pretty looking. They suck balls.

The End.
