Finally installed my Brembo's on my V6 painted by Showstoppers.
Didn't know whether to post this in here or the brakes section so i am posting it here but this is not only a cosmetic mod these brembo's are awesome
took me about 8 hours taking my time and few breaks, I am happy with the end result (other than my bloody knuckles and skinned knees) they look awesome behind the polished wheels and it brakes like I have never seen before it stops on a dime. Here are some pics with my cell phone.

Looks great I did this mod over a year ago IMHO one of the best mode for the V6.

The color is called jet stream blue straight out of the ZR1 Corvette, I got the calipers from a member here and sent them to showstopper on St. Charles Illinois and he took care of the painting

What did you have to change on the V6, parts list please, to put the Brembo's on as I am interested in this as well? Thanks.

All you need to get is calipers, disks and brake lines from a SS, the only modification needed is to cut the dust shields on the rear so the larger disks fit.

Looks awesome man. Did you keep the stock brake lines? I love that shade of blue Showstoppers does. I did my V6 not too long ago, but a different blue.
