I wonder how much it would cost to have the stitching on the wheel redone in blue to match your car.

God this car is literally setting the bar for me :applause:
Quick question though, I bought a set of Z06 Caliper adapters from a member on here not too long ago for my 400 and I'm having second thoughts after seeing some negative comments on them on corvette forums,
So what do you think? Notice any real improvement in stopping distance and pedal feel? If not I'd probably end up going with the 6 piston's from the CTS-V, adapters are now available for those too apparently,
Adapters from 92blacktt, really well made

I went from LS400 front brakes and TT supra rear brakes to the Z06 front and SRT-8 rear brakes. The difference was night and day! Unbelievable stopping power. Plus I think the z06 calipers look cooler. I should also mention that the reason I did z06 was because of the availability of the calipers to me. My friend Tyeler had 2 sets and sold me 1. Otherwise I would have contacted pkop2jz on IG and bought his full kit. He does SRT8 kits for MANY supra owners

$100 isn't too bad, but the 4-5 weeks part sounds awful.

That's great to hear then, I'll placing an order for a set of Z06 calipers soon then!
Also I've read on here that the Z06 Calipers trigger ABS, I believe it was LRD who said that long ago though. Any issues with that?

Love the color combo of the blue and orange. Great choice to keep it going with the engine cover - Are you happy with the new wheels?
