Does anyone know if the factory drilled slotted front brake rotors for the corvette will fit the fbod? I saw the part #s listed in the gm part numbers section, I want to make sure they will fit. Also, what is the part # for the delco cermic pads for the front of the car. My car info is in my sig if it matters.

C5 rotors are larger than fbody's. You can use them but you need to relocate the calipers using specially designed brackets such as UMI or LG brackets.

Thanks for the part #, as for these relocation brackets, will this affect the car's options on wheel diameter, or steering? What is the advantage of going this route? Also, are there any differences between these companies relocation brackets, and can you objectively recommend one?

Wheel diameter and offset will be an issue. I think you need at least a 17" wheel. I don't know about back spacing.

Steering will not be affected.

The benefit is improved braking ability which leads to shorter stops and better heat dissipation which means you can abuse the brakes more. Don't forget that pads actually make a huge difference in braking. If you really want to improve braking, get better pads too.

Also, you can find plenty more information in a search.

Mods,
Is this in the wiki yet?
It needs to be.

I am totally ignorant of wiki. What is that? Good info VIP1, thanks. I was curious when I saw the part #'s in the fbod gm parts list, but I did not think they would just bolt right in. I don't think I will go with this mod just yet, it is a good one but costly. I need pads and rotors, looks like power slots and performance pads are the cheapest route.

What is the difference between these pads and the durastop p/n 18038564

Be glad. Wikis are internet 'dictionaries.' Cough. Which are often flawed by large amounts of errors and copyright violations which people take to be 100% true. Consider yourself now educated on Wikis.

Alright I found out, 18026298 is ceramic pads 98-02, while 18038564 is semimetallic pads 98-02. Thanks to CJ at Scoggin Dickey for confirming this.
