Found a deal so I am swapping my C5 brakes for these..
 But some fluid got on the paint and the paint came off. Talking to Brembo these need to be painted no PC'ed So I decided to paint them to match the rears Here are what they look like now   I will be finishing up my 4.10 install tonight and tomorrow then in a week or so I will get the Brakes done |

They'll make C5 calipers look silly.

Are they direct swap? What type of adapter, etc is necessary? Stock size rotors?

Waiting on a couple parts but starting the install.
I ended up painting the "Brembo" and logo on the caliper in place of the vinyl decals  |

Longer wheel studs? Does the brake rotor side farther outboard? Does it affect the wheel?

The hub is thicker (.75")
so it is about 3/16 more then the other rotor and a 1/4" spacer it will push the wheel out more, but with my wheels I should still be fine and it should not stick out You can see the hub thickness here  |

What size pistons in those suckers? Hopefully not too much bigger than stock.

I did not measure them but I could get an approx size from the markings on the old pads..
Brakes are done and bled, but I can't drive it.. weather is way too crappy here right now  |
