  1. Wonder if those fit my CTS-V.
  2. I wouldn't own a BMW unless it's under new-car warranty or CPO.
  3. Nice to hear, Taylor. What pads and rotors did you end up with ?
  4. I second it. Actually, if you rub your old rotors on concrete, they would come back to life and could be reused. On new rotors, they would last forever.
  5. Most true slicks for road course use are designated as such. The tire diameter is crucial in the formula to find the perfect gearing for a specific course. I suppose it's easier to change tire diameter over gear ratio. The middle number, e.g. 650, corresponds to the tire diameter in millimeter which, in this case corresponds to 25.6 inches. This is easier to use when a change in diameter is required but the width kept the same. Of course the effective diameter changes as the tire wears during the course of the race. The first number still corresponds to the tread width and the third the wheel diameter. These tires can be ordered in 5 mm increment for both width and height; a much more accurate method than the 5% increment in aspect ratio and 10 mm in width for street tires. I've run 645 mm upfront and I prefer 650 instead in order to maintain a slightly taller ground clearance. Maybe it's the wrong approach since the purpose is to keep the Z06 from scrapping the air deflector under full braking. My previous Z06 did the same with much smaller front brakes.
  6. I assume they need to be street tires or can you use slicks ? I have a pair of 305-650-18 and a pair of 315-675-18 Pirelli tires.
  7. To be precise, the PCD is 5x4.75 in or 5x120.65 mm which is shared by Corvette, F-body, S10/Sonoma/Hombre, and other older GM vehicles.
  8. Whatever you're getting, avoid slotted or cross-drilled rotors and make sure they have a coating to prevent corrosion. As far as pads, they all produce dust. The difference is in the color of the dust. Assuming that the car will never see autox or other track duty, find one that's most aggressive in the gray-dust group.
  9. I want that Spectra Chrome coating on some of my wheels. It seems to be easier and hopefully cheaper than mirror-polished copper electro-coating.
  10. I'll let you know when I got there, I'm en route.
  11. I have a trailer fairing from my old car trailer. It was used as stone shield. PM me if you're interested.
  12. I want my two clicks back.
  13. It's a crime to make money in the US, thus those who make too much must be severely penalized.
  14. Do the anti-sway bars fit a '0 GS300 ?
  15. C6Z06 OEM wheels come in 18x9.5 & 19x12, it's C5Z06 that came with 17x9.5 & 18x10.5.

    Excellent, I'll send you a PM.

    I got the VIN. Text me when you're ready.
  18. There is nothing that's '10+ that I want that will meet that budget limit. Double it and there maybe a couple things, maybe.
