GM parts list notes:
•If you want the red Z06 calipers, use Part #s 88895128 and 88895129 in place of caliper #s above. The cost is the same.
•The guide pin bolts come with the calipers, so the part number is not listed above.

•Neither the regular Durastops nor the Hawk pads come with anti-rattle springs or pad abutment shims. The ZO6 and Durastop Ceramic pads DO come with the NECESSARY springs & shims.
•The Durastop Ceramic pads are not recommended for track use. However, they are a good street pad because they have very low dusting, are quiet, and have a lifetime warranty from GM.

Cost of GM parts $500 plus shipping.

That's not much more than a LS1 upgrade, and it's all new not salvaged. Wish I had done that. But, then again I couldn't fit 15x3 skinneys up front for drag racing.

These are LS1 calipers, they are the Corvette C5 ZO6 calipers (Red). I don't think they will fit a 15" wheel though with a 13" rotor.

No they definitely won't. the LS1 12" brakes wont fit anything under a 16" wheel and the C5 stuff requires a 17.

I can't fit a 15" draglite wheel in the front of my car with an LS1 brake system? Crap...already ordered them.

Found out you can fit the 15s, you just need a spacer. Not good for a daily driver, but should be fien for drag wheels.
