So who makes the brackets for the C4 stuff? Is it anymore cheaper than the C5 conversion?

I agree. Forget the C4 upgrade and go right to the C5 upgrade.

Better yet, forget all these two piston calipers, go for the four piston 13 inch SSBC A123-9 kit. $1,050.00 at Summit.

Lots of hate for C4 stuff. It was pretty good stuff when I did mine, still is. Sure the C5 is going to be better. LS1 conversions were expensive and nobody made C5 conversions back then. The C4 setup I have made a HUGE improvement over what I had. It was very cheap to upgrade and only took a couple of hours to do using a sawsall.

Old tech, I know, just posting up what I did a long time ago.

[QUOTE=DVS LT1;14315310]I wouldn't even waste your time looking at a C4 setup. Do an LS1 F-body brake swap for next to nothing (like our OP did here, and a great job at that!).



Thanks for the complement..they do look impressive after the time i put into em doing them right..i even flushed the system by my self and fluid is clear now...over the last few days the brakes seem to have gotten even better
I got these in black to complement the look

Nice job! Here's my calipers I painted and stuff back from 2003 when I did the swap:
