Dont have any pics but have the same combo you are seeking. It looks like the car was suppose to be this way. Go for it. Drilled and slotted rotors and you are done.

I was going to do that, but I decided to swap out my calipers for the red ZO6 calipers and add SS lines at the same time. The only thing was the brackets usualy aren't included and aren't painted. I think I will at some point pull out my brackets and paint them black so they offset the red well.
I do agree they should have come from the factory in that color to begin with.

On a side note I'm going to sell my old calipers since I don't need them any more. Nothing wrong with them except they are filthy dirty. They should sandblast up pretty nice.

Please post a pic of your final results!

Chris

I have the exact car you discribe except mine is a 98 Black Coupe and the red calipers look great. I'd post pictures but I don't have a clue on how to do it! Sorry! savewave
