funny you mention that. I figured I could Give him the stock wheels off the zr1 and order 2 more BC fronts to clear the zr1 brakes. Time frame for that depends on if I’m replacing the isolation coupler and bricks first (as a preventative measure)

So I did some bolt ons to mine, but when my installer was in there one of my bricks was leaking! So needless to say I was very fortunate that I was doing the upgrades at that time. I was able to get new bricks and have them reinforced. At that time mine was at 30K miles. My coupler was ok but also got replaced with my upgrades. So definitely good to check both!
I did the LPE 710 kit, ceramic coated AR headers 1 7/8 catless and Borla ATAK exhaust (new reinforced bricks as mentioned). 660/657 to the wheels. In case you were curious. Zero affect on drivability. Runs and drives like a champ. Just a LOT better sounding. LOL

that’s my real concern given the fact I have 21 k miles. The balancer, the gas odor and the coupler are my 3 worries w this car. This is my 3rd c6... it ll be the first one I attempt to keep stock. It s hard not to want to upgrade the interior (head unit, steering wheel, and crappy bezels .

I changed out my head unit 2 weeks ago, LOL. I just could not take it anymore as I already had a complete aftermarket stereo in her.
