They have a web site. Google it. I called and ordered. A lot of fade has to do with the pads. I didn't change them, but I did notice a difference and high speed stops. Basically they feel like stock, till you slam on them.

It should after you wack it with a hammer.

I stuck a 18/10.5 without anything before (on a Z28). I put a spacer on though just to keep it away from the bump stop.

It looks to me that those aren't really C5 brakes, but rather just C5 rotors and the brackets simply space the LS1 calipers out to accomodate that size rotor; where as trackbird's brackets are a true C5 full conversion, that would use all C5 brake parts from the lines, PAB, pads, rotors, and calipers, leaving nothing F-body on the front. That is what I have (when they were originally Bob Bishop brackets).

Don't take this as knocking on it, the brakes look sick and I love those wheels! I just don't believe I would call them "Corvette brakes" though if only the rotors are Corvette. JMO

LOL, its cool man. I *could* use everything from a Corvette, but I didn't. I didn't want new corvette calipers or pads. Besides, it costs more and supposidly the f-body calipers stop better since the pistons are about 2mm bigger. Althought the Corvette calpers are cast better so they are stronger. You need the Corvette abutment brackets for this setup too. Its the silver things. I'm getting stainless steel lines soon too. So basically, I have everything the way I wanted.
