Also, I already have SS brake lines on my 00 Z28. Will they work with the Vette calipers? Also, what else is required to run C6 calipers and rotors?

Thanks
The aluminum bars we buy will make 11 sets per bar (these are not cheap bars, so we try to use it all). We either do one bar, or two (or three on occasion). So, that's how we got to batches of 11 or multiples of 11.

The larger rotor typically required longer brake lines (the Corvette lines) to avoid stretching them when the wheel is turned all the way. If your lines are a bit longer than stock, they might work, but the kit was designed for the C5 corvette brake lines to be used.

Ok, Z28streetwimp had to cancel, so we have one more set left.

Also, we can keep taking orders and when we get to 11 or 22, we can do an additional batch when we get enough people.

So, to correct the list:

Current Status:
1) Dexter (from other list)
2) PoorMan (Posted in this thread)
3) blackz151 (Posted in this thread)
4) Happy_Dan (Posted in this thread)
5) Happy_Dan (Posted in this thread)
6) swagge1 ( also sent an e-mail)
7) DJ (via e-mail)
8) Happy Dan
9) Boston (other list) (Boston is now Bock, Bock took his place, from the other board)
10) Rob (other list)
11) Kevin (other list)
12) 96ss2nv (E-mailed 7-31 / Posted in this thread)
13) 2QUIK6 (Posted in this thread)
14) CDN WS6 (posted in this thread)
15) Blk01ss (posted in other list)
16) AtlantaGAJoe (posted in this thread)
17) sc1twntrbo (posted in this thread)
18)
19) aztlan-lt1 (posted in this thread)
20) abackoff (posted in this thread)
21) -vellu (posted in this thread)
22) Rob(94Hawk#319) (posted in this thread)

Speed specialty, if you could fill in slot 18 with the next person on your list, we'll have the final list worked out.

My price is usually the same for 22 vs 33, so I don't think we'll be able to do another price break, but we will see if I can update my order to 33 brackets with the shop. If they haven't ordered the materials, we should be ok, if not, I may have to do a batch of 22 and 11, but I'll call and find out.

Edit:

I just hung up with my shop. The good news is, I can do a batch of 33 if we get enough orders. The bad news is, the price of aluminum is going up (and my cost has gone up since I started this batch). I'm going to absorb the extra cost and I will hold the current prices on these, but my shop advised me that at the rate things are going, the next batch of these will certainly be more expensive, possibly by a signifigant amount. So, if you're thinking about it, now is probably the time.

Thanks everyone!

Do you guys know if the original Enkei WIN wheel will work with these? It's pretty much the same wheel as the LG motorsports one I believe.

I know Speed Specialty used to have a pattern you could cut out and test before you bought the kit. Maybe they still have it somewhere?

If those wheels are similar to a set of 17" TT2s, they probably won't fit.
