finally got some real brakes on my garage build, z06 rotors and base model front calipers on all fours, 14" front, 13.5" in the rear, and i even made the vette parking brake work. bought all the parking brake parts off gmpartsdirect.com. My drop spindles had crappy g-body brakes, i found a company called flynbye performance that made hubs that allow a vette rotor, and i drilled the spindles for the caliper brackets and cut a spacer for proper fitment. cant wait to stand on them and see how much better they are over 10.5" discs and drums!
