Question Corvette C4 or C5 Calipers which to run?

Well this is my first question. I recently bought a 01 bird that has some race miles on it. The previous owner converted the front brakes to vette ones. It has C-5 rotors and C-4 Calipers. Can I convert to C-5 calipers to keep everything the same or should I just keep this setup. Thanks John

Depending on how the caliper has been mounted you may be able to upgrade to the C5 Caliper. I did a C5 conversion on my 2000 SS.

Well I did a little digging and found that I have my info messed up, it has C-5 calipers and c-4 rotor. So I should change the post around. Z-28 thanks for the info, so can I upgrade to c-5 rotors or just leave them alone?. Thanks for all the help. John

That question I am not sure about. I have both C4 and C5 rotors laying about the garage, I wonder if they are interchangable?



So your calipers look just like mine?
