I'm wondering this too, I saw a thread a few weeks ago that detailed a low-buck f-body brake upgrade using C-6, and CTS-V brakes. Is there anything we can swap to for our 5x5 bolt pattern? I want to add a lot more rubber and more of a pro-touring look and need to find some bigger brakes for the larger size wheels/tires. Thanks

JASONWW, Any idea, from the brake swap guru???

All the Chevy 1/2 2WD ton pickups use the 5x5 bolt pattern up to 1998. Perhaps those use larger rotors than the stock B-Body and might be an upgrade?? There aren't many newer vehicles with that bolt pattern.

I know you prolly been there, but impalassforum.com is like LS1tech for Caprices and Impalas. Used to have a 94 Caprice myself... There is much talk of using S-10 spindles with other brake kit too for the four-wheel drive setups...
