C5 brake swap ? I have ordered a set of 19X10.5 and 18X9.5 black c6 zo6 wheels, purchased bfgoodrich kdw's. I have the complete brake setup from ws6store and am waiting on the custom braided lines and conversion brackets from them. I have a set of 1.25 adapters for the rear wheels. Do i need a set for the front as well? Also do i need new longer studs to make this work? I have been reading here and there on this subject. I just don't want to start the swap and learn that i am missing a part.
Parts
C5 calipers/rotors/pads.
C5 conversion caliper brackets
Hardware kit
New braided lines
1.25 adapters for the rear wheels.
C6 Zo6 19" and 18" wheels set to clear the new calipers.
What else am i mising besides new brake fluid? Any input would be appreciated.

what adapters are you talking about. you mean spacers? you shouldnt need any if the rims are the proper offset. you really shouldnt need any in the front either. any stock style 17'' wheel will fit C5 brakes without spacers, and you dont need longer studs with the proper wheels either.
