Is this true??? I have a 95 Z and someone told me that I have the same bolt pattern at a c5 vette.. I have seen a pic of front sepention of a vette and it looks almost the same i guess... so if thats the case can i get c5 breaks?? b/c my breaks are weak sause.

ok, i guess your asking if brakes off a vette would fit your car, yeah they probably would, but i don't how much better they would be than your stock one, maybe a little.
IMO you probaly better off just getting some slotted rotors and nice brake pads that are made specifically for your Z28.

they sell c5 brake kits, but you'll need 17" wheels to fit them. Some 17's wont fit, but gm 90-something and up will work.

cheapest site i've found. better than any big brake kit because it's all OEM parts. parts that were tested over and over, and have to meet safety regulations unlike kits. plus, pads/rotor/calipers are a dime a dozen.

someone scared of a little elbow grease???
grinding the breaks down really isn't that bad..... and thats only if you are going to run a big slick on the back......
