Attempt at CPP C5 spindle & brake kit. If you're thinking of trying this kit, DON'T.
Not unless you want to buy new wheels or run huge wheel spacers. Their product description is way off. Nowhere near the stock clearances. These are headed for the landfill.

What is it that doesn't fit right looking to get on of these kits? What r you going to do with your kit? I am starting from scratch on my build and I don't have my rims ordered yet but am getting ready to order them in the next couple weeks.

You'd have to run a huge wheel spacer to get out past these calipers.
See stock setup on the left, vs the CPP kit on right.

Man...I really REALLY fought that same C5 vette kit on my 69. Lots of machining and custom work later and it works great. It should come with a disclaimer minimally about the work and machining that needs done

The kit does require new style 17"+ wheels though, as they are attempting to mimic the corvette front axle rather than the old style wheels.

OH...got it! I thought you guys were referencing a C5 turbo kit. Yes I did try the spindle kit and the caliper sticks out waaay farther than a stock caliper...thus hitting the center part of the wheel. CPP was horrible about it, and made me pay $95 to return it. I swapped for their stock replacement kit, with drilled/slotted rotors (stock size) and wilwood D52 calipers.
