Just curious as to why you went with the C4 setup when the C5 is a better upgrade? Either way Ed is definitely a great guy to work with. When I was designing my Z06 setup he was a wealth or knowledge. Either way they will be a vast improvement over the stockers.

i think it was because Ed recomended that the C4 had a better clearance, it was something related to that. tehy are C4 HD, so they are better than standard C4 by a little, but when i asked abotu using C5 setup, Ed told me that the C4 HD would work better with my 16" wheels, (which is the largest i ever plan on going in wheels)

nonetheless, i am certain that this setup will be a huge imporvement over my stock 1987 front brakes!!
