Is it worth it? this weekend I am putting new rotors...calipers...and pads, on a 96 anniversary edition vette, and I can get the the origanal peices for the cost of the cores. Is this a good upgrade for the cost...and will the fit my 93? the only thing I can see I would need is the caliper bracket, I am not sure if they are worth the effort? thanks for the replies.

Your 93 IS a C4...

My 93 is a Trans Am.

you will need to make a few modifications to the steering knuckle but it is a nice upgrade...I am assuming you are getting the HD brake package...the one with 13" front rotors.

YES J55 hd brake system...what mods to the knuckle? is there a clearance issue. Are the hubs the same?

You're going to need like 17 or 18" rims if you get 13"

I have the ZR1 17in chrome rims from SLP...will they clear?

Yes. I have a 96 C4, and I changed to C5 brakes. Even the J55 stuff isn't as good as the C5 parts. Get a conversion bracket and use the C5 stuff, as the rotors are WAY cheaper (like half the cost) and there are tons and tons of pads available for C5's.

install will be the same as for the baer kits...

I had the Baer kit on my 94...replacement parts were the same as the HD vette package...

Where do you get the conversion brackets or anything else I may need?

C5 brakes are a much better option. thicker rotors, less expensive consumables.

I work in GM parts so I can get things at a really good price, but can I just buy c5 rotors and calipers and use the c5 brackets or will I have to go with some specialty bracketry and where do I get it ? thanks.
BTW what about the new C6 stuff can that swap, or is the c5 enough
