Those option descriptions only say upgrade brake PADS... Not calipers or rotors. The GT500 of course has a better braking system.

It's possible that maybe they offer a packer for the sixxer tha upgrades to a GT braking system, but I don't know about that. I have never looked into buying a '10, let alone a '10 sixxer.

Get some decent rotors. I got powerslots. Nothing crazy.

Get some Hawk HPS pads.

The new pads do not out gas like the OEM pads and can take heat better. I have not had brake fade since I changed my pads and rotors.

But back to the one question...if they upped the suspension for the car to go with the 19" wheels, you think going to 18's going to cause a issue?

No, just keep the tire size close to the same diameter as the stock then you don't have to worry about speedo recal...

Also when making your wheel selection decide if you are EVER going to want a big brake kit. Cause not all will allow the use of one...

I have a custom tuner so I can dial in my wheel size no problem but if I just go stock size slotted rotors and ceramic brakes 18's would be ok then. right?
