As far as weight they area little heavier but look a lot better I think then the LS caliper. I have TT on the rear too though so they match better. My 2 cents.

I loved the brakes when I had my CTS-V so I imagine this upgrade is great too.

i got a remanned Front TT caliper from advance auto parts for 90 dollars.

There is already someone doing the C6 Z06 calipers in the front. I dont think the tabs will match up enough to make a bracket for it. But im not sure either.

Your car looks absolutely sick! I can't believe I haven't seen it before. Typically I hate anything other then chrome wheels, but your millennium silver pulls it off amazingly well. Nice ride, and tutorial.

These are the links to the Calipers, Hardware kits, & Rotors that I found when I built my kit. You can choose your own break pads.

Nice upgrade, the brackets are the key though, thanks for the setting me up with a set.
