be very aware of the rim size you can run with a vette or camaro rotor and caliper upgrade. you might intend to run a 17-20" wheel but keep in mind that your 15" spare will not fit over the rotors. not that you should plan your brakes around a spare wheel, but some guys wheel tastes change, you may want 15s later. nothing makes me want something like not being able to have it anyway
